Same here but with the first CoCo, TRS-80.

Anyone remember "The Treasure of Raaka-Tu"?

Perhaps look into environmental services labs that do contract EPA work. I would not be surprised to see entire HP-Agilent(ISA-carded) - (think liquid chromotography analyzers) fleets that would match what you're looking for.

Folks may also be interested that this version, 6.0, supports Crunch(although Crunch itself has not been declared a 1.0 status, currently @ .993), which is a compiler for a statically typed subset of Scheme R7RS. (https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/6/crunch)


CRUNCH is really cool, I helped make it work better on Windows (although it requires a bit of setup)


To extend this, what's the state of accessibility for user interfaces built in Rust?


The main frameworks with traction like Slint UI, egui, tauri, and Dioxus all have baseline accessibility support


Many libraries now support AccessKit.


egui has native accesskit support


Russinovitch (Azure's CTO/CISO) gave a speech at RustConf 2025 and mentions it(DirectWriteCore) took 2 engineers 6 months resulting in 154K LOC and 5-15 percent performance increase for font shaping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDtMuS7BExE&list=PL2b0df3jKK...


Curious the direction of Webkit as there was a nebulous mention of select portions being rewritten from C++ to Swift. And yet, the new ECMAScript module (ESM) loader for Safari 27 is implemented in C++ (https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf...).


No idea, maybe the private parts of the code, Safari isn't open source, or is coming later.

In any case I would have liked to have more info during the deep dive sessions.

As it is, Meet with Apple on security (a 5h long event) had much more information.


Tangential - I have officially retired from Emacs(hand-off of maintenance of Elfeed recently) - https://nullprogram.com/blog/2026/04/26/


Single tenant(and single core) tiny VMs with OpenBSD's VMM hypervisor and confidential computing through AMD-SEV.


Nice! Had to lookup when one was last released, 7.3. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html


How about F# support? Until then, happy to support Avalonia.


It won't happen, already on UWP you had to avoid specific F# code idioms that could generate MSIL that the .NET Native compiler wasn't happy with.

With WinRT on top of Win32, the .NET Native runtime support now lives in CsWinRT, where they also only have C# into account, not even VB as it used to be on UWP side.
