A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Cleaned up my internal fork of the Wren language called Lom, and published here:
github.com/mattiasljung...
Added some basic gfx web example here:
mattiasljungstrom.github.io/lom/
(based on thirteen.h) Key differences: multiple return values, re-entrant code, optimizations, C11.

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library (MIT) where line of code inits, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen. I call it thirteen.h, inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days. Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game.

Things websites/apps incorrectly assume about language: You have only one native language. Your nationality defines your native language. Your native language is your preferred language. You always use the same language. You will never mix languages in the same sentence.
