Coroutines elegantly solve these problems.

I've found this handy for repairing AI generated JSON.

Io ( http://iolanguage.org ) can work this way, as the message tree (maybe including comments - I don't recall) is what the interpreter used to evaluate the code and is accessible …

But street lights don't have to use harsh 3000 kelvin LEDs, there are warm light LEDs (2400-2700 kelvin). For example, these lights are widely available for home, yet most people j…

Looks useful and powerful. Nice work!

It’s great that this can run on a laptop but FWIW, llama 70B model is no where near “GPT-4 class” in my own use cases. 405B might be, though I haven’t tested it.

How are state changes consistently tracked?

Congrats! I have strong nostalgia for the ones I worked on and owned in the 90s. Using those machines felt more like living in the future than any tech I've experienced since, incl…

"In JavaScript, neither weak references... is generally available". I think that was true with the old weak collation classes, but doesn't the newer JS WeakRef provide proper weak …

Great to see work like this being done. Javascript is often a "good enough" language, but an efficient Smalltalk (or Self) language with support for things like system images, beco…

At first, I though this was a link to another cool language with a very similar name: http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/cel/

I've run into many of the problems mentioned with Apple Feedback and gave up on using them many years ago. It's pretty disheartening when you spend a bunch of time getting an OS cr…

Can it be used via an API?

Enjoying the discussion. Here’s a related paper: https://docplayer.net/137462966-Towards-jit-compilation-for-...

That might be right, but I'm not familiar enough with early Smalltalk to say. Self was a bigger inspiration than Smalltalk.

Fixed, thanks!

Yeah, good idea. I've updated it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added a first pass at samples page and a link on the main page. https://iolanguage.org/samples/

Can someone get this running on the Web with WASM?

"Society depends on this mismatch existing. It must exist somewhere." I see no reason why bank deposits can be fully backed, and ppl who choose to can buy into bonds funds separate…

Who would have predicted ever increasing inefficiency and decreasing service from an effective monopoly with little to no selection pressure?

The environment I grew up in (NeXTstep with Miller Column FileBrowser + Edit + InterfaceBuilder) effectively did, but I'd love to see them tightly integrated.

Would love to see one of these that used Miller Columns for navigation, and supported VSCode task and launch files.

Economics is more complicated that a short term price move. If there is sufficient unpayable dollar denominated debt, the central banks and governments will be forced to once again…

On the instance. My understanding is that in this example, the instance itself is the key and is only stored in a dictionary owned by the related class. Maybe there are other or br…
