I published it on 2009-03-03. Dates are listed at http://www.rntz.net/index.html http://www.rntz.net/index.html but not in the articles themselves; I guess maybe I should fix that (not sure where a good place to put the date would be).
I don't feel that separate function/value namespaces really solves the problem of hygiene. It just makes it less likely to come up in practice. It's an 80% solution: pragmatic but unsatisfying.
- tempodox 12y agoYou're right, separate namespaces don't actually “solve” the hygiene problem, but rather place responsibility squarely in your lap. It's the usual trade of more power for the price of more responsibility. What you call “unsatisfying”, I call “open for more interesting constructs, if you're up to it”. I wonder how many attempts might have been made to create a macro system that combines wanted capture with hygiene... As for article dates, I would expect a mature blogging platform to offer that choice without forcing you to insert the date manually, but then I'm not a blogger.
