• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCode?wprov=sfti1 That said, I think Scratch is a better learning environment these days and you can develop workable apps in the style of HyperCard. There are plenty of tutorials, documentation, and examples to work from. https://scratch.mit.edu. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  +1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua. Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music. https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I am also going to highly recommend Scratch[1]. That is what got me into a programming around that age. You can even help him make a website to host his games on. [1]: https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  This ! Learning to code will come after, spending time with your son writing down ideas might be more fun at first and it's a good time to teach him that games are thoughts first and then coded after. I would have recommended Scratch [1] for a first introduction instead of hoping into code right away, but since he is 9yo he will most likely want to hop on big game engine like he sees his favorite youtubers doing.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation

  A Linux distro is going to need to see compiler to self-host regardless of the user land. If you can live without Linux, there's redox ( https://redox-os.org/ ). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Contributing to Open Source

  Redox is always open to contribution. Recently I've been helping with relibc, a mostly Rust libc. Source: about 1 year ago

• How will HDR be implemented in COSMIC Rust?

  Well, considering the engineering team is managed by the same person that created Redox OS, then yes. I've personally been writing everything in Rust since Rust was still in alpha. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is Iced replacing GTK apps for the new COSMIC desktop?

  The people bringing you Pop!_OS also created https://redox-os.org, and the whole team writes software in Rust. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Linux did NOT do right?

  You probably already know this, but "a capability-based microkernel written in Rust" describes RedoxOS. http://redox-os.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
