And it’s also a reinvention of Corrado Bohm’s P’’ which is even more seminal

Up to Gtk2 is still good

You can take Codex today and ask it to rewrite itself to work with any API

Renamed from Free University Compiler Kit

You probably remember cint

This datalog implementation uses prolog syntax, can even run the queries in prolog to contrast the model: https://des.sourceforge.io/

If FSF trained a net on all the code that has Copyright assigned to FSF, could it be used to ethically vibe code free software retaining the same Copyright and license? Perhaps even pointing to a file on fsf.org with all the author's names?

The practical solution is to generate several CSV files and distribute work at the granularity of files

I have found two somewhat usable (your point still stands): soufflé (high performance but more limited) and DES, which works well for some simple personal data management, after some code massage (it’s written in Prolog). Any other recommendations? And since the prolog experts are here: what do you think about Ciao? Seems quite polished but also adventurous to (non-expert) me

Not using LSP does not mean not compiling/running. Using an LSP should not qualify you to commit without compiling or running either!

So there must be at least three of us. Hi!

Good point. In such case I would probably consider leaving the signature as is, even after tightening, and possibly offer a function with stricter signature for new code to use while deprecating the older variant. This would inform the users without rug pulling.

This came to mind while considering your interesting point: After such a change, wouldn’t you feel the urge to inspect all users of the stricter return type and remove unnecessary handling of a potential null return?

Looks fine (subjective) and there is also ctags

I suspect you would have to port Go to run on Dis, the VM. C is for the OS. It’s a different design, without mmu. Plan 9 is still a classic OS with hardware isolation

It is a personal choice of course, but some people enjoy the feeling of fully learning a piece of software, which is impossible with most.

Inferno is not a successor. For example you can have Golang for Plan 9 but doesn’t make much sense on Inferno. You would even run Inferno on Plan 9 on some scenarios. I suspect most people who know about Plan 9 also know about Inferno, but it’s just a different thing, does not supersede it in general.

The explicitly specialised generic packages are nice too

With some plumbing, it should be possible to follow links: match the URL with regex using the terminal and launch the link target in a new window.

I think they are not ordinary words that consume arguments directly from the stack. They also need to look ahead in the input stream of tokens. With support for quoted code, there seems to be no need for any other words operating at the token stream level, like conditionals and def. They just need to consume the stack. I am still digesting this so happy to be corrected.

Indeed using a quote to provide the word’s body seems very intuitive. I was asking about this on the retro forth IRC and turned out it could be bolted on to retro forth like: [ body … ] :name

It’s called split DNS. Can be implemented using dnsmasq

I think the main advantage of telnet is the line edit mode and local echo. It helps working over high latency connections.

From a quick look to one file, seems fairly consistent. Perhaps most unorthodox but at the same time easiest to justify: function bodies skip one level of indentation. The curly brace of function body at column zero is actually a separate, very traditional style. It's just that both styles apply to function bodies, there is no other causal relationship. Finally, indentation is 4 spaces, and tabs are expanded. Of course a very few places may be miss-styled, as happens with hand crafted code. While definitely sinful for not indenting with tabs as God intended, the style is not messy

They don’t even ship where I am. I had to go through postal proxy. If you write some questions I will try to answer them later plus my own comments about any caveats I have found. I think Android is the ideal pairing, using the special software as well. But I only want them as dumb monitor, possibly connected to a keyboard computer to try a new form factor.

Forgot to mention it needs a couple of adapters to connect it to iPhone.

Nreal Air is one. Others are launching too. Without the AR parts it is lighter. Works well as plain monitor without any support software. Only slight problem I have with this is it heats up a bit.

Stuck it on my wallet. Apple wallet. Got some laughs at the cashier
