I am working on a Ruby wrapper for the GitHub API. It's called octopi (contraction of octocat and api):

Documentation will be updated here as well: http://rdoc.info/projects/fcoury/octopi

#22Right now I'm working on a natural language task management system. Basically you enter something like "12 page paper in project hist201, due apr 23 est. 8h high priority" and it understands what the hell you're trying to say: project, deadline, estimated time, priority. It also checks similar tasks (using naive Bayesian classifiers) and gets you a probability distribution of velocities (estimated / actual / relevance for a word), and supposedly, but I am still working on it, will show you a probability of finishing it on time given past history of similar workload.
The goal is to be able to either Tweet your new tasks, add them in bulk (several lines), or even do something like "http://taskulus.com/12 page paper in project hist201 due apr 23 est 8h high priority" and then receive a lot of analysis.

#23I'm working on a programming language that has builtin support for reloading code at runtime. It'll also support various ways of modifying code at runtime, like with visual interfaces. The primary usage is for making interactive graphical apps, like games. Intro is here: http://andyfischer.github.com/circa/intro.html code is here: http://github.com/andyfischer/circa/tree/master
Don't most dynamic languages already allow this? I know in python you can reload code.

#24I'm actually looking for a new name for my project, so maybe someone here will have a good idea? It's a framework for writing, running and analyzing simulations. It could take any kind of simulation: Physics, game theory, epidemic spread, electronics, whatever. It's in Python. This is where it currently lives: http://github.com/cool-RR/physicsthing/tree/master (Keep in mind it's still a very young project) The readme…

Wouldn't it be better to modify an existing, popular language to support this feature?
It would be better, but I want to do some cool things that I'm not sure if I can support in an existing language.
One thing is automatically preserving state across a reload. This is really hard if I allow the programmer to store state any way that they want- I can't tell which things I should preserve. So the language forces the programmer to declare their stateful things in a special way.
Another thing is introspecting on code. I want to be able to click an image and then see all of the calculations that went in to that image's position (maybe so that I can change them). But this is pretty hard in most languages. Aliasing makes it hard. So this language discourages operations which are hard to introspect.
So I could theoretically support Ruby or something, but it would turn out to be "not really Ruby", because there would be a lot of stuff you wouldn't be allowed to do.

#28Working on a messaging client that integrates Twitter and GTalk... And I mean really integrates. The end user doesn't know the difference between IM and twitter but the context in which the user sends a message decides the service to use. It's C# and WPF.

#29I'm writing my own compiler and designing my own programming language, just like everybody else!
Practical, no. Fun, YES.
