Re: bison and yacc. It came from the dragon book which for forever was the way to learn to write languages.

Whoa, I didn't know about this. Looks pretty new.

The win32 api is extremely well documented, still supported and very stable. With tons of working examples to do pretty much everything with.

As an added bonus, since win32 is so old. AI is quite strong at generating code for it, I have even had success with qwen 3.5 1.5B parameters with win32 and opengl 1.1

Considering you can use 500 kilobyte distro of tcc that can self compile to build win32 apps and those versions will very easily run on wine. I think it is a valid point and a strategy I have used for sometime. Since windows can't decide what you should use for developing Windows apps

I have one, this isn't true. The wattage of a 5070 is about 300. The spark entire unit runs at 200 watts max. In reality it runs like a rtx 5060 with lots of vram. Very good for training, okay for inferencing if you are running batch jobs and don't mind waiting.

This was also when most of these machines were not online. Security wasn't as much of a concern.

Python pdftools to convert to images and tesseract to ocr them to text files. Fast free and can run on CPU.

TCC is less than a meg to download supports win32 very well and as an added bonus created executables run fine under linux wine.

TCC supports win32 and is less than a meg download and as an added bonus supports linux very well thanks to wine.

I don't understand, just use scite editor with tcc. About a couple of megs download, no install required and your apps will run on everything from win 98 to linux with wine. And if the answer is c++ support then you get all the pain you deserve using that cursed language

I was thinking that this looks a lot like prolog or even make with rewrite terms

Inform 7 is arguably one of the largest programs ever written in literate style.
