integrated my launch window planner with the launch to rendezvous script and something to select what I want to actually launch to rendezvous
<Izaya>
now I just wish I had a way to get the launch windows without loading into a vessel

unironically I would prefer Forth
<ZLSA>
it'd mesh well with the hardware control aspects I think
<Izaya>
forth would be fun! weird, but fun.
<ZLSA>
you've just described all of KSP :P
<Izaya>
it would fit much better than this like, "pascal through glass frosted by BASIC" thing
<ZLSA>
yeah
<ZLSA>
maybe the world would be better off if a very simple and lightweight lua-like existed
<ZLSA>
like lua in terms of integration simplicity and binary size, not like lua in terms of syntax and 1-indexing
<ZLSA>
tbh it'd probably look scarily like JS
<Izaya>
I still don't get why people have such an issue with 1-indexing
<Izaya>
it makes sense from any perspective other than programming/computer science
<ZLSA>
sure but lua is a programming language
<ZLSA>
the fundamental difference imo is that first item IS the #0 item
<ZLSA>
it's not the zeroth item
<Izaya>
yeah, but the purpose of programming isn't to program, it's to solve problems, and programming languages are just tools in that

if it makes it simpler to solve problems and/or to pick up then it's not necessarily bad, just different
<ZLSA>
I can't speak to the non-programming part of it, but if you have 1-indexing, you are always doing at least one offset per array access
<Izaya>
("I'm used to 0-indexing and 1-indexing is annoying" is a valid complaint, though)
<ZLSA>
that's definitely the case for me lol
<ZLSA>
(and also, I'm not a huge fan of Lua's syntax either)
<Izaya>
also valid, I can understand why people would prefer the curly braces of C-likes and such
<ZLSA>
I won't deny that Lua is an amazing language based entirely on how common it is
<ZLSA>
it's just not a language that I particularly need, or want to learn

with the way Lua's tables are implemented, I wouldn't be surprised if the hash table is actually the zeroth element in the array and offsets are therefore not actually necessary
<Izaya>
but I haven't actually looked at it from the implementation side
* Izaya
rather likes Lua
<ZLSA>
I've heard Lua is very simple to integrate
<Izaya>
that is one of the design goals
<ZLSA>
I kinda want to see wasm get more marketshare in high performance embedded applications like games
<Izaya>
kinda bent that the JRE dream is going to end up being completed by wasm
<ZLSA>
it took me a moment to realize you weren't referring to the Joe Rogan show

You make a tomato and noodle snack, then accidentally substitute TS-06 stack separators for noodles. You maybe Jeb's favorite maybe! (maybe)
