| 2026-02-01 21:47:43 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | instead I put "normal ..." on a line and execute that as an ex command, but same difference |
| 2026-02-01 21:47:21 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | that's essentially what I do too |
| 2026-02-01 21:47:04 +0100 | <geekosaur> | so it constructed the next thing to run in the last line of the file, yanked it into a register, and executed the regisster |
| 2026-02-01 21:46:33 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it used registers and the ability to execute vi commands in registers, including while executing a register |
| 2026-02-01 21:45:56 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure if the original vi turing machine is still online, since it was originally presented in a usenet post |

| 2026-02-01 21:35:09 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | I'm too lazy to figure out if this uses anything not in original vi (almost certainly) or whether that's fundamental to the approach or not (probably not) |
| 2026-02-01 21:34:45 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | I wrote a turing machine simulator in vim normal mode! https://git.tomsmeding.com/vimturing/tree/turing.vim |
| 2026-02-01 21:33:19 +0100 | <[exa]> | vimscript isn't implemented with recursive regexes? |
| 2026-02-01 21:33:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | there are certainly people who would agree with you ☺ |

| 2026-02-01 21:30:40 +0100 | <monochrom> | That feels like I could say "vi is the OG IDE" :) |
| 2026-02-01 21:29:54 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (you don't get much more self-modifying than text in an editor which can invoke itself as "code") |
| 2026-02-01 21:29:23 +0100 | <geekosaur> | aka how (original) vi could implement a turing machine? |
