*Update on the Mu computer's memory-safe language*

Progress has been slow over the holiday season because I've been working on a paper about Mu for https://2020.programming-conference.org/home/salon-2020

But functions can now return outputs.

```
fn foo a: int -> result/eax: int {
result <- copy a
increment result
}
```

Caveats: no checking yet, only int types supported.

*Update on the Mu computer's memory-safe language*

Still no type-checking or memory-safety, but we can now write any programs with int variables.

There's still no 'var' keyword, so we can't define local variables yet. But that's not insurmountable; just pass in extra arguments for any space you want on the stack 😀

```
result <- factorial n 0 0 0
```

*Update on the Mu computer's memory-safe language*

Basic language is done! Here's factorial. (Compare https://mastodon.social/@akkartik/102749590808384215.)

Still todo:
- user-defined types
- type checking and memory-safety

In other words, I'm about a third of the way there 😂 More detailed todo list: https://lobste.rs/s/pv8jpr/what_are_you_doing_this_week#c_5ymbsa
