Floh's website is at http://www.flohofwoe.com/ and he's got links to demos of using Emscripten there as well as some other interesting stuff.

This is what I'm curious about ... what is an example of one of these carefully selected features for technical computing at the language level that is distinct from the other (dynamic) languages? Clearly, a lot of work has gone into the li

Those 4 bullet points all sound a lot like Dylan ( http://opendylan.org/ ). I'd have said Common Lisp as well, but some might argue point #1 with respect to that. It is nice to see others (re-)discovering the joy of full on multiple dispatc

> (Of course, for GC'd languages, we will need aggregate types.) Maybe, maybe not. I've had parts of a precise, copying, compacting (commercial grade) garbage collector running under emscripten. It "crashes" still, but seems viable.

Can you blame them really? How do you run a Lisp Machine environment today? Or Oberon System 3 or v4 (I never tried anything later)? It is easy to reinvent and re-sell stuff when everything before is pretty much no longer available. I've ha

I (obviously) agree wholeheartedly. It is worth pointing out that sometimes historical software is used for instruction, like Unix v6, but that doesn't seem to be common. A gating factor here is that much of the time, old software doesn't

I find this sort of software archeology fascinating. I wish there was a lot more of it ... I'd love to see runnable copies of T, EuLisp, Sk8, FramerD and so many other things. It often feels like we lose so much of our history.

What does it matter? Does it harm you in some way? If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And either way, we've learned something. There's one one approach or set of approaches that are blessed and known to work 100% of the time.

Many years ago, there was a language called TOM. TOM was a descendant of Objective C, but with garbage collection, blocks, some other stuff ... and a Common Lisp style condition system (before Objective C had exceptions or blocks or GC or .

In Lisp, every bind-exit or unwind-protect may be doing something like a setjmp. That's how it is implemented in the C runtime for Dylan as well. In JavaScript, you have the ability to break to a label to escape nested loops. That's a limit
