I've been building small programs in Zig, C and ARM64 assembly without relying on libc and only using Linux syscalls directly.

Some examples:

- A minimal C shell with built-ins like cd, pwd, type: https://gist.github.com/rrampage/5046b60ca2d040bcffb49ee38e8...

- Terminal Snake game which fits in a QR code using Linux syscalls for drawing: https://gist.github.com/rrampage/2a781662645dc2fcba45784eb58...

- HTTP server with sendfile support in ARM64 assembly: https://gist.github.com/rrampage/d31e75647a77badb3586ebae1e4...

I learned to handcraft a static ELF binary using just GNU assembler (no linker): https://gist.github.com/rrampage/74586d0a0a451f43b546b169d46... . Trying to see if I can craft a small assembler in ARM64


Kudos! Especially for the asm.

http.S is something I wanted to do by myself, ended up with generating data in asm and reusing Go for a http server.

Yurichev's SAT/SMT by Example [0] is a great (free!) resource for learning how to model problems to SAT/SMT

I second this as a good starting point. When I was picking up z3, this was helpful.


Storage cost is much higher. Express One Zone is $0.16 per GB while standard S3 is $0.023 per GB ( https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=4 )


Repos:

Snapshot - Capture a snapshot (or subset) of your Postgres database whilst transforming the data ( Link: https://github.com/snaplet/snapshot )

Copycat - Generate deterministic fake values (e.g to anonymize sensitive data) ( Link: https://github.com/snaplet/copycat )

Seed - Automatically seed your database with production-like dummy data based on your schema for local development and testing ( Link: https://github.com/snaplet/seed )

As a side project, I have been building a WebAssembly interpreter from scratch at https://github.com/rrampage/wart . It can run Doom and boot Linux!

Super nice project! I also spent the last month writing a WASM interpreter ( https://github.com/rrampage/wart ) using Java 21. I started it as an excuse to try out the pattern matching in switch / sealed classes in Java. It kind of snowballed in scope and can now run Doom and Waforth ( https://github.com/remko/waforth )! Have not yet tried compiling it to WASM and running it as a meta-circular interpreter.
