This week has been about a programming language for the Law, a collection of colour palettes, a terminal workspace, static web with SQLite and a collection of hand-drawn illustrations.

# Zellij

# colorpalettes.earth

# Skribbl

# SpiderMonkey

# Hosting SQLite databases on Github Pages

An article on using a WebAssembly SQLite instance with sql.js-httpvfs to fetch and manipulate data in a 'static' (or rather, backend-less) web.

A paper introducing Catala, a Programming Language for the Law specifically designed to allow a straightforward and systematic translation of statutory law into an executable implementation. Catala aims to bring together lawyers and programmers through a shared medium, which together they can understand, edit and evolve.
