Show HN: Peerdiem — Discover and discuss one painting a day

Hi everyone, I made Peerdiem (a portmanteau word between Peer and Per Diem, which means Per Day in latin). The idea is very simple, a new painting or artwork to discover and discuss with your peers every day. Content is currently only fetched from Chicago Art Institute Free API [1] but I'm planning to add more sources in the short future. It was built with a couple of technologies I wanted to try for some time. Frontend is made with Preact and styled with Tailwindcss. Backend consists of an FastAPI app deployed in a Docker container.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: C3 – A C alternative that looks like C

Show HN: C3 – A C alternative that looks like C
18 by lerno | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Compiler link: https://ift.tt/e2Rkijr Docs: http://www.c3-lang.org This is my follow-up "Show HN" from roughly a year ago ( https://ift.tt/Rq9nSxI ). Since then the language design has evolved and the compiler has gotten much more solid. Assorted extra info: - The C3 name is a homage to the C2 language project ( http://c2lang.org ) which it was originally inspired by. - Although C3 mostly conforms to C syntax, the most obvious change is requiring `fn` in front of the functions. This is to simplify searching for definitions in editors. - There is a comparison with some other languages here: https://ift.tt/Lnq91Yj - The parts in C3 which breaks C semantics or syntax: https://ift.tt/MfuRGkA - Aside from the very C-like syntax, one the biggest difference between C3 and other "C competitors" is that C3 prioritizes C ABI compatibility, so that all C3 special types (such as slices and optionals) can be used from C without any effort. C and C3 can coexist nicely in a code base. - Currently the standard library is not even alpha quality, it's actively being built, but there is a `libc` module which allows accessing all of libc. Raylib is available to use from C3 with MacOS and Windows, see: https://ift.tt/VxfveIE - There is a blog with assorted articles I've written during the development: https://ift.tt/iGWZP8E
