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.
