+# Results
+
+Let's see the results of the year 2024 quarter by quarter:
+
+* **The first quarter** (January - March):
+    * (Swift) Implemented data bus for iOS to create common space of communication for fragmented code
+    * Introduced "Limited language model" term to describe portable code rules
+    * Python was selected as the anchor programming language from which to generate functional copies in other languages
+* **The second quarter** (April - June):
+    * (Python) Created the first version of Python -> C++ translator
+    * Created text UI for "Memory" game
+    * Created graphics UI for "Memory" game with assests based on sketches drawn on the graph paper
+* **The third quarter** (July - September):
+    * (Python) Created 2D adventure game prototype using Python Arcade
+    * Renamed "Limited language model" term to "Cross-language dialect" (**CLD**) to better convey the nature of achieving portable code
+    * Participated in a 3-day long gamejam to see how cross-language dialect works in real case scenarios
+* **The fourth quarter** (October - December):
+    * (Kotlin) Created the first version of [Local Host Access][lha] (**LHA**), a small web server to provide local file system access to web pages
+    * (Kotlin) Created the first version of translator to convert YML to Kotlin
+    * Kotlin replaced Python as the anchor programming language due to Kotlin's strong typing and Kotlin's community propensity towards portable code
+
+For me, portable code is no longer an idea, it is reality.
+However, cross-language dialect needs more love
+to blossom for others to see its utility. That's where I'm going to
+pour my scarce free time during 2025.
+
+# January
+
+I'll start rewriting PSKOV in Kotlin for JVM.
