Depends on what you mean by power, I suppose. Nova is Turing complete, so there's that. One big difference between Nova and -most- logic languages is that "forgetting" things is a …

That is one of a couple syntactical shorthands, explained a small bit here: https://nova-lang.net/introduction-to-nova/sight/#sometime-y...

(Nova dev here) Nova's execution model is a lot friendlier to implement vs Prolog, for one. One big reason reach for Nova are when I have something -very- state-machine shaped. It …

Onion creator here, happy to answer any questions!

I've been working on https://deja-vu.junglecoder.com which is an attempt to build a JS toolkit for HTML-based doodads that shares some ideas with this. I don't quite have proper re…

In the GMTK game jam, there was a -dramatic- shift usage towards Godot from Unity this year

Location: Denver, CO Remote: yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: C#, ASP.NET, React, Typescript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Tailwind, Godot, Lua, Elixir, Powershell, git, Golang …

They are fairly generalizable, to a point. The thing about Erlang behaviors is that they rely on several other pieces of Erlang to work well . One big one is being able to be notif…

So, the big difference between Go and Erlang style concurrency is that go style concurrency doesn't give you a readily available reliable way to keep an eye on other goroutines, as…

Where would you use this? Most languages have good enough string processing to imitate a lot of what AWK does

I mean, a lot of people may not have the financial option to have had kids younger. Like, the last 15 years have included two "completely upend your life" level crises, along with …

Chandler reminds me of another, I'll fated PIM project, documented in Dreaming in Code.

> If you could rely on blockchains instead of trusting based on past cooperation What about blockchains would make them an effective stand-in for building trust over time? One is a…

> Labor is a cost center to be minimized for a business. It's worth calling out that this is not an absolute value. It's definitely the predominant one, but businesses can and do e…

The first edition of this book was my introduction into how computers worked at a lower level. It gave me enough of a grounding in various concepts that I was able to understand mu…

Do you have any plans on adding hashtables/dictionaries of any sort to the language? It seems to be above the cutting-off point for some other retro basics I've seen, like QB64. Pe…

If you're wanting to use Elixir, it's not going to be nearly as mainstream as, say, Node, but fly.io has support for Elixir apps (to speak of cloud), and I think there's some cool …

It Splits The Air in Two with the power of the BASS DROP IDK, an EDM Knife sounds like a cool idea.

As a matter of course, not a medical professional: Double check against ADHD. If you have it, it changes how you approach all of the advice you might get, because it means your bra…

Games are dramatically simpler. Like, Commander Keen and the other of those games are the same amount of effort that might go in to a particularly well staffed month-long game jam …

So, is this mostly using RSS/Atom feeds from the various websites in question?

I'll say that I haven't taken a game beyond a game jam myself yet, much, but I have done that 8 times now, and when I think about the Grenade example OP gave, I believe myself comp…

I think a huge gap here is between gamedev as a hobby (where throwing away prototypes, or only doing jam-level games is fine and fun) vs trying to make games as an indie with an ey…

Niche and Nerdery is fractal, I find. I also find sharing my findings from exploring random niche corners of obscure topics to be rewarding.

It is a rant, a well argued one, with a lot of salient points, IMO. And ridicule is part of the point of text (not subtext) of the essay. Dan is making an emotional argument as muc…
