    And it’s also a reinvention of Corrado Bohm’s P’’ which is even more seminal

    You can take Codex today and ask it to rewrite itself to work with any API

    This datalog implementation uses prolog syntax, can even run the queries in prolog to contrast the model: https://des.sourceforge.io/

    If FSF trained a net on all the code that has Copyright assigned to FSF, could it be used to ethically vibe code free software retaining the same Copyright and license? Perhaps eve…

    The practical solution is to generate several CSV files and distribute work at the granularity of files

    I have found two somewhat usable (your point still stands): soufflé (high performance but more limited) and DES, which works well for some simple personal data management, after so…

    Not using LSP does not mean not compiling/running. Using an LSP should not qualify you to commit without compiling or running either!

    Good point. In such case I would probably consider leaving the signature as is, even after tightening, and possibly offer a function with stricter signature for new code to use whi…

    This came to mind while considering your interesting point: After such a change, wouldn’t you feel the urge to inspect all users of the stricter return type and remove unnecessary …

    Looks fine (subjective) and there is also ctags

    I suspect you would have to port Go to run on Dis, the VM. C is for the OS. It’s a different design, without mmu. Plan 9 is still a classic OS with hardware isolation

    It is a personal choice of course, but some people enjoy the feeling of fully learning a piece of software, which is impossible with most.

    Inferno is not a successor. For example you can have Golang for Plan 9 but doesn’t make much sense on Inferno. You would even run Inferno on Plan 9 on some scenarios. I suspect mos…

    The explicitly specialised generic packages are nice too

    With some plumbing, it should be possible to follow links: match the URL with regex using the terminal and launch the link target in a new window.

    I think they are not ordinary words that consume arguments directly from the stack. They also need to look ahead in the input stream of tokens. With support for quoted code, there …

    Indeed using a quote to provide the word’s body seems very intuitive. I was asking about this on the retro forth IRC and turned out it could be bolted on to retro forth like: [ bod…

    It’s called split DNS. Can be implemented using dnsmasq

    I think the main advantage of telnet is the line edit mode and local echo. It helps working over high latency connections.

    From a quick look to one file, seems fairly consistent. Perhaps most unorthodox but at the same time easiest to justify: function bodies skip one level of indentation. The curly br…

    They don’t even ship where I am. I had to go through postal proxy. If you write some questions I will try to answer them later plus my own comments about any caveats I have found. …
