What happens when you combine a rainy Sunday, jdBasic, and Claude? You get a functional 6502 emulator and an Apple II skeleton—built from scratch in just four hours.

jdBasic just went "Pro." From APL-style vector mathematics and 3D tensors to native Win32 API hijacking and recursive background tasks.

I applied my developer mindset to the gamification of reading. Instead of optimizing code, I optimized my reading stats by publishing the first 3 satirical "Gap Books" on Amazon KDP (with 2 more arriving in April).

A productive start to 2026! I overhauled the SoundSystem with a "Strudel-like" sequencer, added Binary I/O, and implemented Hardware support (Joystick/Serial).

I just unlocked Fluent Interfaces in my custom interpreter. By implementing `RETURN THIS` and modifying the statement parser, jdBasic now supports elegant method chaining.

I stress-tested the jdBasic audio engine by coding Michael Jackson's Billie Jean from scratch. No samples (mostly), just C++ synthesis and code. Watch the video and see the code!
