4-post thread with @mmalex + @seflless, June 2025. @mmalex vibed-coded
a python C preprocessor: finds /* python <code> */ in .c, runs the
python, dumps stdout after the comment, replaces old block on change.
@seflless points out Cog (https://cog.readthedocs.io) which did the
same back in 2000ish. NOTimothyLottes: 'Many of my forth-like languages
worked via nested runtime code gen, so it was possible to generate+run
code to build either code or data, then repeat. The system would
bootstrap its own assembler that way.' Precursor to the Jul 2026
micro macro-forth + nasm-bootstrapped 4KiB Linux Forth threads.
