00:00 <lisbeths> Modern machines could handle megabytes of code and not flinch, but as an exercise I would like my code to fit on the roms of the lunar landar.

00:00 <cmtptr> learn to walk before you run

00:03 <lisbeths> Well my code is already pretty smol I think it fits. its' just not useful yet.

00:04 <lisbeths> My end goal is to fit into a boot sector. I am considering really crazy ideas like that krivine machine that fellow used to talk about two years ago.

00:05 <lisbeths> I really really really have had trouble learning asm.

01:57 <tabemann> lisbeths: what kind of asm are you targeting?

02:53 <lisbeths> I don't know it seems kind of meaningless to me for my code not to be portable. That's the one thing where I have always butted heads with other forth programmers.

03:07 <tabemann> my first two forths were portable, but slow; my most recent forth, zeptoforth, is not portable, but fast (it's written in Thumb-2 assembly)

03:31 <lisbeths> I guess I should care more about porting code between forths rather than porting the forth itself.

03:31 <lisbeths> can anyone tell me what the nanometer scale is of the green arrays chip with 144 cores is, and how many cores you could reasonably fit on a 5-10 nanometer intel chip?
