Title image

tl;dr: some simple implementation of higher order function for zsh.

The minimal to have better code are the functions map, filter and fold.

tl;dr: My short and higly subjective feelings about programming languages I used.

BASIC

Title image The language of my firsts programs! I was about 10, with an MO5 and Amstrad CPC 6128 and even with my Atari STe. This is the language of GOTOs. Ô nostalgia. Unfortunately this might be the only interesting part of this language.

Two words about the content

Here you'll can find mostly technical articles. Some are just reminder of technical tips. But some are long and technically detailled articles.


I do my best to traduce each page in french and in english. It not always easy. English is not my natural language. I make many errors, orthographic, grammatical, typographical…

Thanks not to judge me based on these errors! And don't forget content is more important than presentation!

The first impression I'll let you if we meet in real life should be different from the one I let you based on my website.

I wish you to find something useful or interesting on this website.
