working towards programatic bulk export of observable notebooks into the lopefile format. Currently Observable has the concept of an import, but its a static macro type of thing, so there is no way of scripting it. I need to script it to be able to take any notebook and shove it into a standard website frame, that then becomes a single static file you can move around as a single HTML file artefact. Anyway, some progress towards that with a programmatic import. The import merges the notebooks in such a way as a subsequent export includes the import as a statically baked in dependancy. So it becomes offline-first at that point.

Status

• of interest: this is all fast enough to look like a REPL, although it spawns several heavy-weight processes and uses a local browser and websockets
• das2json is now written in javascript (formerly only Odin)
• das2json is a small program which converts a .drawio file into JSON
• this means that drawings can be reduced to JSON, a format which can be manipulated by just about any programming language
• VHLL language:
• got "RT" ("recursive text") compiler (transpiler) to run, at least for Python, and to self-compile
• RT is a VHLL that uses Python, Javascript and Common Lisp as "assemblers"
• rt pushed to repo
• next: test Javascript and Common Lisp self-compilation
• next-next: create a local copy of t2t so that the whole thing resides in one repo
• next-next-next: implement Larson Scanner in Javascript in a browser
• README.md expanded to include some discussion of the mechanics of this stuff.

Small update from the Programmable Ink track at Ink & Switch — we just launched a page for our Inkling project.

(Whisper: actually, maybe a bit more than just a page . Take a peek!)
