Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I've built my own small embeddable functional language with structural record unions and effect types. By focusing on making the language tiny I have been able to embed it in arduino, web and server projects. The aim is to eventually use it for every side project I make. https://petersaxton.uk/log/
