Short notice
CoSy Intro Zoom , Next Fri.Dec,20221230.1000-7 ( MST ) Details below The Future Tool of Thought for Individuals whose computing resources are a tool in the everyday business of life rather than a profession But also the only APL level language in Forth open all the way to the chip Another Star posted in FB Minimalist Computing : I mentioned [
the previous ] challenge during the British APL Association Zoom
Thursday showing my solution ( see
https://CoSy.com/y22/Wed.Dec,20221214.html ) . Rory Kemp posted a similar star in APL . Later I asked him for it :
" it was
' #'[(⊢∨⌽∨⊖∨⍉)⍣≡0=-\-\∘.-⍨⍳25] ] (using ⎕io←0). I discovered it while just playing around a couple of months ago, but it uses APL's \ scan which is quite weird. 0=-\-\°.-??25 is a diagonal-ish pattern, and then it is OR-ed with its reflections and stuff repeatedly. " I ran it in https://tryapl.org/ , below : Anyway , in CoSy it can be written , essentially ( obscenely written as a single line ) : i( 1 1 0 )i 25 _i fill 13 _iota `i -2 *i '
rotate 'R i0 25 _take cL 25 _fill .. reverse ori .. ' reverse 'm
ori .. flip ' ,/ 'm ori s" #" $ ' at 'R I have uploaded a minute 40 silent vid dissection of this CoSy code to https://www.cosy.com/CoSy/y22/RoryKempAPL_8star.mp4 . I also mentioned this challenge to the Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group and it became their monthly challenge . a couple of other related solutions . Another excellent SV-FIG Zoom

CoSy is the simplest most productive programming environment for ` ordinary people , built on the most ` powerful ideas from APL & Forth However , being minimalist language open to the chip there are no limitations to the problems it may be applicable to . I will be holding a Zoom , Fri.Dec,20221230.1000-7 for those interested in learning more about CoSy , the language & unique interactive Captain Picard's Log environment , future business plans ( CoSy will be run in CoSy ) . Limited to 5 . $70 . Will include 2 months CoSy α level support .
RSVP via email . Help in downloading & startup available by Zoom chat prior to the meeting . Contact me for further questions or information . Several charter contributors to CoSy's progress to this point , and a couple of Guru level tekys are comped .

is not a planet damaged by industrial progress, but a record of
unfathomable silliness as well as a landscape degraded by rusting wind
farms and decaying solar panel arrays. "
