About 9 years ago, Notch was working on a sub-project called DCPU-16 for a game he later abanodned called 0x10^c. At the time, he was taking suggestions for opcodes, so I posted a suggestion:

To this day, you can still find the opcode in the more complete implementations, along with my helpful documentation:

I can’t even lie, I think my first foray into coding was JavaScript when I was 11 setting up a minecraft server. I do owe the man a bit 🤣
That was probably Java, then.
Yes it was! Definitely inspired me to get involved with some other bits, so glad I banged out about 8 hours a day of it when I was younger 😂
Ahahaha this is brilliant do you know what he’s working on atm, that man used to be a god in his time.
