Copy/pasting my comment from the other post: This is great, thanks for releasing your work. Very impressive. You may get some interest from others in the retrocomputing/permacomputing sphere if you implement an Uxn emulator; it is extremely simple and can run on very limited hardware. https://100r.co/site/uxn.html Vintage hardware would be a great host for Uxn programs, so I suspect this would generate some excitement.

Since the project creator did a Show HN of this recently, I've moved the comments thither ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48435943 ) and re-upped the post. (I hope that's ok!)
