When a program is changed, Realtalk will print a red line over the lines that have been modified or removed. It looks a lot like the output that you'll see from a "git diff" on a file.
- mcphage 9y ago> Realtalk will print a red line You mean like, from the projector?
- jf 9y agoYes, sorry. It will project a red line on the paper.
- mcphage 9y agoThat's good, then. Having the code right there isn't very good if you can't trust it, but if it at least indicates what's not to be trusted, that's much better.
