Adlib support! At least someone else remembers it wasn't only Soundblaster.

Ironically, and unfortunately, this doesn't actually emulate the FM Towns Marty (or even the regular FM Towns PC) like I assumed it would.

Mysteriously, backslash has been mapped to backspace for some reason.

Old terminals had this shenanigans going on too. Backspace was not backspace and so on

Yet another avenue to play EGATREK in a browser. For that, its work it.

Oh, holy crap. I haven't thought about EGATREK in at least 30 years. I'm going to go dig it up right now. Thanks for causing me to recall that memory!

What's great about Egatrek?

Why never seeing a title “written by C” or Java or js

Because they predate HN, and aren't hip languages any longer.

There was a time for CoffeeScript, PureScript, Elm, Ruby and whatever else you can think of.

Naturally Lisp has to have monthly entries.

Because nowadays "written in Rust" means "written by AI", as Java or C are not so sexy for LLMs /s

The main feature of apps written in Rust is that they are written in Rust.

Early PCs weren’t written in Rust.

pjmlp•about 1 hour ago

In C neither, despite urban myths.

Not specific to this project, but nowadays when I see "written in rust" I hear "written by Claude".
