Band practice today went fantastic. My collaborator paid me a huge compliment: One of our WIPs ends with a vamped passage for the outro (for the recording it’s supposed to fade out) and I decided to go a little nuts with the ride cymbal, snare, and toms. When we ended it, he had a grin and told me that he really loved what I was doing but he had to fight the urge to smile because doing so would make his earbuds fall out.

I have written a guide to zeptoscript over the last few days or so and also implemented classes for non-"object" types to enable the implementation of words such as show ( value -- string ), for converting any value into a human-readable string; hash ( value -- hash ), for turning any value into a hash; and equal? ( value1 value0 -- equal? ), for testing the equality of any pair of values.

Oh, thank you very much! I wouldn't have thought anyone would like the book so much that they'd post about it in this thread of all places!

I have gotten FAT32 support (mostly) working in zeptoscript -- and I only say "mostly" because I have not tested files larger than one cluster yet. It took far less to get to this point in zeptoscript than I did in zeptoforth. Of course, that is largely because this was largely a translation of code from zeptoforth to zeptoscript. One thing that is significant, though, is that this is far more user-friendly than the original code was in zeptoforth. Now you can trivially do things like:

Code: Select all

zscript-fs import
zscript-block-dev import
zscript-simple-fat32 import

global my-fs

: init-fs ( -- )
  2 3 4 5 0 make-simple-fat32-fs my-fs!
  true my-fs@ write-through!
;

: list-dir ( path -- )
  my-fs@ open-dir { dir }
  begin
    dir read-dir if { entry }
      cr entry name@ type
      entry entry-dir? if ." /" then
      false
    else
      drop true
    then
  until
  dir close
;
Now executing s" /" list-dir will list the files and directories in the FAT32 filesystem in partition 0 of the SDHC card connected to SPI peripheral 0 through SPI pins 2, 3, and 4 and the chip select pin 5, and for listed directories / will be placed after their names to make their directory-ness obvious to the user.

Great! Do I get this right that in "It is found that perfluoroalkyl diacids and pillar-[5]-arenes rapidly and strongly complex with each other at aqueous interfaces, forming solid interfacially templated films.", "complex" is the verb of the sentence?

I am not the author, but I know enough of chemistry to answer the question: Yes, complex is the verb here. You will have guessed it, it means 'to form a complex'.

Thanks! I'm especially proud of the fact that three of my M.Sc. thesis students are coauthors.
