(replying to self) Ok, I see now one area where it actually seems to make much sense and looks like it can work very nicely: for stuff like git , vim / emacs , bash , etc. Generalizing, I'd say: for apps/services which h

In the footnote of the post they wrote they considered naming it "SO Examples ", but didn't. For me at least, using "SO Docs " to name the site is actually much more confusing. As a result, for the whole post I th

Is anyone aware of any Forth or Forth-like language for JVM or (ideally) Dalvik? Ideally, with a REPL allowing to access all Android APIs and create callbacks/interface implementations... super-ideally, statically-typed... eh, one can

Curious if semantics of this subdomain of "allowed/legal" programs will be easy to understand, or will it be "try and see on case-by-case basis if your code compiles". Still, this way or the other, probably user wil

Thanks! Re 1: are there any examples of this in the codebase? I haven't seen anything in the "examples/" subdir, did I overlook, or should I dive somewhere into the compiler/runtime codebase? Also, some more questio

If it takes off, and fulfills all peoples' dreams and brings rainbow-farting pink ponies to Earth, then I suppose there might come lots of parser butchering by people and fitting it to their likes via forks/frontends - me, for exa

Didn't realize about tuples, thanks for info! Are they typechecked on length? Out of curiosity, can I ask for your reasons about macros, if you have them fleshed out enough? Not really sure what you mean by "pluggable import handl

• Have you considered allowing returning multiple values, like in Lua and Go, and also returning errors through them? esp. instead of exceptions? (Though I suspect this could be problematic to match with the sweet |> pipe operator) • Hav
