It sounds like burnout/depression more than anything, I don't think you can "work" yourself out of that. Even the funnest things will turn to boring grey nonsense in that mindspace.
Your inspiration will return Kiki, you might just need to think about other stuff for a while.

it's classic of the italian westerns, where they wouldn't use timing soundtrack on sets, but play the music behind the camera live for the actors to follow. It's cool they went that way for this as well.

I've neglected the #Uxn docs for far too long, and I want to fix that, I'd love to make them as good as I possibly can, and for this one page to cover as much as it can without being too overwhelming.
The issue I have is that I've been "in it" for so long that I can't remember how it feels like to not be fluent in this stuff, and can't pull back far enough to see the blind spots I might have missed.
If you have a few minutes, are learning Uxn or have learnt it in the past, and found the docs lacking, let me know how I could change this page to give a more complete picture of the language.
Thanks!

One aspect that I like of the programming language I use daily is its robustness, it'd be hard for it to become unrecoverable.
The language itself relies on a runtime that can be emulated in 150 lines of most languages(including its own language), and a 2300 bytes self-hosted assembler. There is a bootstrapping toolchain that allows me to recover an assembler from a hex dump on an operating system without `cat`, or `xxd`, or even with an implementation of the runtime without a file system.
I've added a few notes on how it all works:

Time to bloat it up! :bloat:
I wanted to get the average from some numbers and didn't care to write the length by hand each time, so I've added a length operator which writes the length of a rectangle, pretty useful stuff.
Now, someone yesterday showed me the concat() command in spreadsheets, so I added that too, I have no clue how I'm going to use this, but it's such a small change I figured, why not.

This was my second attempt at implementing a spreadsheet in a catlang assembly language, the first time around I got so tangled up that I had to put it aside. This time around, it went smoothly, I picked up many tricks for this during the past year. I'm so happy to finally have a complete spreadsheet program to manage my little databases and lexicons, all in.. just over 8.3kb.
I think that might be less than a blank excel file 🤔
