Show HN: Think Turing Complete, but you write the circuits in TypeScript (WIP) (simten.dev)

Took me ages of tapping around before I hit a page that obtusely says "NAND needs a desktop" and then another ten seconds before I realized that was telling me I'm blocked on mobile.

If you're going to block mobile devices, make it upfront and obvious because 80% of people who land on your site will probably be on one.


the "snappy quick-witted style" of this along with "think X but with Y" makes me think this is the type of prose that gets rated higher in post-training RL or something and yet annoys the heck out of actual readers

What's with the title?

It's a Typescript-to-circuit converter/transpiler/compiler.

Why not just "Build a circuit in Typescript"?


I think “Turing Complete” here refers to a game about making circuits:

https://turingcomplete.game/


Great game, too, with some truly surprising features (like Verilog export)

For those who may have taken a leak at the game in the past: The recent update from this summer was a ground up engine rewrite with all sorts of features like this.

Thank you. That was lost on me, too.

I think the "Turing Complete" part is about the "It has a campaign its not just a ts-to-circuit compiler"

Slop….
