This is cool. I enjoy seeing these kinds of projects, thanks for sharing it and thanks for making it. There has been so much innovation over the years around transpilers/compilers …

I hear that, it seems a common observation. Maybe a fundamental truth of enterprise. > until you have the full factory going you won't be able to fully estimate your actual numbers…

Right! Good points for optimism here, and acknowledging broken mental models. We have silicon solar modules in the 1950s, Moore's law in the 1960s. Another take on the question the…

Indeed. You widen the conversation here, and remind me of the idea that moneyed influence is underrepresented in analysis and understanding of the world. Maybe the most appropriate…

Sure, that makes sense. This is where I'm coming from with my interest in history: I heard an interesting argument somewhere that solar cells are an ideal manufactured good. Whethe…

Thank you and other commenters for the great rundowns here. I'm interested in a related question and I wonder if you or others could point me in the right direction: why was the ma…

Could you expand on what you see as exciting developments? I’ll have to check out the op post link as well as yours and others in the thread. It’s been a few years since I seriousl…

A great resource that I should have found on my own. Thank you. I’ll look through this later. Giving it a quick glance now I see some of the same language I see other places; here …

Off topic, but I’m wondering if anyone attracted to this topic could help me understand why JavaScript doesn’t have macros. I’m aware of much conversation around dismissing macros,…

I picked this up at a used bookstore a while back for a dollar or two, and enjoy flipping through it from time to time. There’s something deeply satisfying about the quantity and d…

The future of coding link in the parent has a large list of similarly spirited projects. I have scattered lists of similar projects but none handy or packaged well. I'll point you …

This is a great project in a space that I've been playing around for a little while, fun to see it here! I'm interested in hearing what you think are some of the more difficult pro…

Do you see any other solutions in the same domain as Stopify? Another method that might provide a way to keep UI unblocked but still have user executable code?

> ctrl-C functionality OS implementations dont solve the halting problem. I agree with the sibling comment.

Yeah! The general case of this is the halting problem... The best solution I know of is stopify, which the other comments have talked about. I just wonder if there's another take o…

Looks interesting, I'll do some digging around. Thank you for sharing.

This is what I use. Seems to be the only option, and it works.

Hi, yes! I like your project. I chatted about similar things on your launch post here. You also address this explicitly on your product which I appreciate. What I'm getting at is t…

Yes, as the other comments get at the "hack" I'm referring to is a loop transform that adds a timer check to the condition.

I am aware of multiple hacky solutions, such as loop detection and adding timeouts. This fails in most non-trivial creative coding applications due to long running code. I'm intere…

Do you, or the broader community, have any ideas about solving infinite loops? I'm on mobile so I can't test this at the moment, but I imagine that while(1) crashes the tab. What w…

I think the other two comments make good points. There is every chance that everyone will learn to use a small set of fundamentally composable digital tools in the future. That's p…

Good point! I might give it another listen. I remember it being an interesting respectful conversation with no ground given on either side. Hence the title, I suppose.

This Idea Must Die is an interesting take on that concept.

Ah I didn't even realize the list I sent wasn't from his account. Thanks for the correction!
