Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A software engineer’s portfolio spanning a statically typed Lua compiler, voxel engines, cockpit displays, and smaller experiments.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-09 issue.

For: Engineers evaluating compiler and graphics work
Worth noticing: The page reports 2,106 conformance programs run across LuaJIT, Lua 5.1, 5.4, and the native runtime.

Field notes

The compiler examples show both rejected and accepted programs, including an exhaustive match over shape variants; a terminal transcript shows a native-target run returning 12.566370614359172. The voxel-engine writeups distinguish the projects technically: zoxels uses incremental uploads for live editing, while vcce describes direct brick collisions and cross-API shader support.
