> Something like this:

> : h1 ( s -- ) "<h1>" emit . "</h1>" emit ;

> "Hello, World!" h1

So, what’s the difference between . and emit? It seems both take a string and output it to the HTML of the page. If so I don’t see why that couldn’t be

  : h1  ( s -- )  "<h1>" . .  "</h1>" . ;

We also have:

  "2026-05-21T14:00:00Z"  "May 21, 2026"  dt-published

where, I think, the idea is to always have the two strings consistent with each other. If so, why require the blog writer to do that conversion?

LLM-based coding is enabling so much! The crazy weekend project now can have compilation to native code and web assembly, allow server-side or client-side rendering, manage multiple types of persistence, include adaptive compression, and do all of this without breaking a sweat.

It's scary but I love it.

If there's a place to use a weird and fun language it is certainly one's own personal blog. Sounds like a great opportunity, I think you should do it.
