Multiple IPs

I plan on making Forked have multiple IPs. Is this a good idea?

commented

Multiple-IP commands:

  • Commands to create IP at current point, beginning
  • Commands to jump to previous IP, next IP, 0-indexed IP, Top of stack representing an IP index
commented

This sounds cool. What when they cross paths? They just continue? Bounce off one another, or jump to a certain location given the stack value? Perhaps set your printer on fire?

commented

@catb0t I was planning on having the multiple IPs run asynchronously. i.e. only one going at a time.

However, this is why I put the spec on GitHub before implementing it - so I can get this kind of feedback. Do you think the IPs should be running synchronously, or should I wait to implement that in Fred (Forked/Thread, where : performs the system call fork())?

commented

Yeah, maybe synchronous IPs make the most sense in Fred. By which mechanism will a given IP be switched to?

commented

@catb0t define "mechanism". Do you mean the command? Or internal code/functions?
