Weeklog for Week 29: July 15 to July 21
Progress
Work is slow in this heat. Everything is slow in this heat, even though there is so much to do.

Libraries, programming, etc

- Tree-sitter|Introduction: "Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited. Tree-sitter aims to be:
- General enough to parse any programming language
- Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor
- Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors
- Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C) can be embedded in any application"
Books
- Unsong: I rarely read books twice, but this one I did, even if it's just because it came out as an ebook.
Games
- Factorio
- Tunic: it's like Zelda for adults, and quite retro with its hidden items and special language and even meaning in the songs. But why does it have to be so hard? I'd enjoy this much more if it was just that much easier.
- Sticky Business: Cute. Not very deep, but good for an hour or two. 7/10
