- ukj 5y agoSignalling is the same thing as mutability. To signal is to flip a bit. If code is data and data is immutable then code is immutable. I am sure you see the contradiction in objectives.
- ukj 5y agoSaying the same thing from yet another perspective: What you call in-band - I call data. What you call out-of-band - I call code. What I call metaprogramming is erasing the distinction.
