LLM-based coding is enabling so much! The crazy weekend project now can have compilation to native code and web assembly, allow server-side or client-side rendering, manage multiple types of persistence, include adaptive compression, and do all of this without breaking a sweat. It's scary but I love it.

> I like how weird it is. I might use it for my site, who knows? If there's a place to use a weird and fun language it is certainly one's own personal blog. Sounds like a great opportunity, I think you should do it.

> Something like this: > : h1 ( s -- ) "<h1>" emit . "</h1>" emit ; > "Hello, World!" h1 So, what’s the difference between . and emit ? It seems both take a string and output it to the HTML of the page. If so I don’t see why that couldn’t be : h1 ( s -- ) "<h1>" . . "</h1>" . ; We also have: "2026-05-21T14:00:00Z" "May 21, 2026" dt-published where, I think, the idea is to always have the two strings consistent with each other. If so, why require the blog writer to do that conversion?
