I'm looking for my next role, in Montreal or remote! My background spans compilers, systems, and AI research. I'd welcome introductions, leads, or a repost to help spread the word ❤️ More details about my experience and what I'm looking for: pointersgonewild.com/2026-09…

I'm going to try to build a bipedal walking robot simulator and a neural network controller for it, all in Plush for fun. It's all going to simulate and train on my local CPU, interpreted... It's not how much compute you have, it's how you use it 😉

This is NOT Jev. Open source. Runs on your laptop. Decides in ~27 ms, about 200× faster than waiting on a hosted LLM. Here it is playing Tetris by itself 👇 brainfunctioncollapse.com/la…

A torture test for my interpreted software renderer: testing how well it copes with a 26-floor building that you can climb into with alpha blended surfaces all around. Featuring BSP trees and the awesomeness of S-buffers.

Show and tell: fast rasterization with alpha blending at 720p in Plush, an interpreted language! :)

Over the last week I've been doing some of the "boring" work to bring Plush closer to a "real" programming language. Stack traces now report accurate source positions. I've also fixed multiple parser bugs, corner cases and general error reporting :)

I've been gradually working my way to giving plush a proper stdlib and fixing obvious gaps in the language, with the hope of moving towards stabilization of the language at 1.0.

It's not as glamorous and exciting as performance optimizations but it does make the language much more comfortable and usable for real world use cases.

Is anybody using the Grok Bot $30/month plan? I'm wondering how much usage you can get out of that plan compared to something like Opus 5. Also wondering what are your general impressions and whether Grok Bot can generate images?

Demo day: Tremor, a mini Quake-like 3D game engine, and neural network word detection in Plush! :)

Reading my own blog. I sort of predicted the rise of LLMs, AI agents and SaaS in 2015. Cool cool cool. pointersgonewild.com/2015/05…

I transformed the Plush interpreter from a stack-based design to a register-based architecture, and the performance boost was more than I expected! pointersgonewild.com/2026-09…

At the request of a friend I put together Windows release binaries and a one-line Windows install script for Plush. If anybody has a Windows VM with a UI or feels trusting enough, can you report if this works, or if not, how it fails? irm maximecb.github.io/plush/ins… | iex

Update: it looks like the Windows install script works 🥳 github.com/maximecb/plush/is…

Released binaries? · Issue #46 · maximecb/plush

The interpreter looks appealing and has a lot of nice example programs, but I'm too lazy to install Rust to check it out. Could you publish the pre-built binaries for Windows and/or Linux?

Because startup time matters: Plush can parse and load/execute a file with 50K functions, 924K lines of code in 3.3s 😎👌 Ready for production apps... Okay maybe not quite 😅

I created a curl install script for Plush, and it also has a command to run any of the example programs after installing. Should work on both Mac and Linux, arm64 and x86-64. Windows to follow :) curl --proto '=https' -sSf maximecb.github.io/plush/ins… | sh -s run-example tremor

Did some renovations and added a vaulted ceiling to make the space look bigger🏠 (I am totally trying to take stylistic cues from Quake, if you can't tell)
