Communism occurs in part whenever a need is met or an economic decision is made without using value tokens. Direct access to resources without money happens every day (e.g. anyone using Linux rather than a proprietary OS, or exercising in a public park rather than a for-profit gym). The only thing keeping other products & services hoarded behind paywalls is devotion to capitalist ideology. It literally is a problem of capitalism. The structure of the world outside of people's brains has nothing to do with it.

Bytecode is great for tiny domain languages and I use them in many projects.

Ultima IV used one to animate sprites on it's title screen map. For the next version of XU4 I implemented three bytecode interpreters to script the entire title sequence. There's a high level presentation interpreter, a GPU rendering interpreter, and one for the Ultima IV bytecode.

I'm running 120 (released five months ago). If people wrote web pages rather than web programs these sort of issues could be avoided.

The website is completely broken with Firefox. Search results do not appear on the screen - you must scroll down to see results. Clicking on the asset images does nothing so they cannot be downloaded.

When using Chrome the layout and interaction works, but even then browsing is a poor experience as only four items can be seen at once so lots of scrolling is needed.

Sheesh... modern web design is a disaster. This sort of collection could really use static pages with labels as links and small thumbnails showing at least 50 items per page.

[Edit] I recommend https://ambientcg.com/ instead as that site is much more responsive.

The Aerofoil project (https://galeforcegames.itch.io/aerofoil) was forked in 2019 and provides binaries for Android, Mac, & Windows. I just tried to build on Linux but there are errors (https://github.com/elasota/Aerofoil/issues/2).

Could you please give an example of what would break? Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems a new C standard supporting this would still compile existing code just as C++ can.

C++ has struct & typedef and things work quite naturally. It always seemed like an obvious thing to bring to C, but I'm not sure about the nuances of the rules governing this.

How would using an existing structure definition where an undefined type is found break anything?

Compilers already know what you want to do as it will print an error such as: "unknown type name ‘Vec’; use ‘struct’ keyword to refer to the type".

The most desired C++ feature I'd like to see is the automatic typedef'ing of structures. Does anyone know why such a fundamental thing hasn't been implemented yet?
