Pretty cool to see Nim being stable enough prior to 1.0 for people to be writing other languages with it.
Spry does look pretty cool too. Besides JS, I have huge respect for all the langs that Spry was influenced by (Lisp, Rebol, Forth, & Smalltalk). I think only APL is left out if this were my favorite grouping :).
With that being said, what are the plans for doing a multi-user live coding setup? Also, how is the Smalltalk like syntax homoiconic?
- gokr 9y agoThe multiuser stuff etc, I am temporarily too focused on other things so Spry is at "a hold" right now. I would also like to fix more things in the language before proceeding. The Smalltalk keyword syntax is a simple preprocessing in the parser so that `a at: 3 put: 5` turns into the AST of `a at:put: 3 5`. And yes, it's homoiconic.
