Oh, I missed that. I guess it's alright then. I thought they chose this particular example to "showcase" Tcl by comparison.

#!/usr/bin/env tclsh puts $argv I kinda wanted to stop reading after this example. It feels dishonest to start with an example for which there is a builtin. Why didn't you show ins…

This is really cool! Could you please add a keyboard shortcut for focusing the input field? (perhaps a forward slash '/' like on Youtube or Github)

Sometimes I know that a precise word for what I want to say exists, and I'll know it when I see it, but I can't quite remember it in the moment. In those cases I search thesaurus f…

FIY, you can write `data4.all?(Integer)` because `all?` can take a pattern instead of a block, and it uses the === (just like case...when) I just learned this myself from another c…

That's likely because the pattern matching usage was a late addition to the article (wasn't planned from the start)

How can you trust that whatever the expression used in Finnish to denote "Artificial Intelligence" uses "wit" when translated back into English? Words in one language often don't h…

Do they have an extensive test suite? I would imagine that it's quite easy to introduce subtle bugs when porting tricky algorithms and other sciency software.

What happened on jun 14? (the dramatic drop in memory usage) Edit: I guess this ( https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/5944 ) PR was merged.

But why would a compiler engineer that's not familiar with Ruby work on Ruby? They have so many other languages to choose from. I don't necessarily think that writing a JIT in Ruby…
