Status Update

2025-09-29

It’s been a long time. The most important thing you should know is that I’ve been working on a new version of Lilac; as such I’ve renamed the existing version as lilac-legacy.

I’ve learned over the past year or so that I prefer literate programming over any other programming paradigm. Sadly the tooling is just not that great (lilac-legacy included) if you want to work with Orgmode as the foundation. This is why I’ve spent a fair amount of time rewriting Lilac from scratch. I hope to unveil it soon (hopefully within this year).

Another thing: I will probably port this blog over to use the new Lilac version over the coming months. The reason is, I don’t want to maintain the tech stack behind Hakyll (and the other programs I’ve written over the years on this blog). Or, I may decide to just freeze the old posts and move them to a separate page. Although, that’s probably not very desirable because it will break links for people who have linked to this blog (there are quite a few hits if you search for funloop.org on GitHub). I haven’t really done a blog tech stack migration before (while keeping the same domain name), so it’ll be interesting.
