As I understand it: * There's still a notion of production. Most people work on dev environments just like today. You do need the ability to merge code in some reliable form from one environment to another. The Clerk project mentioned

I don't know what you mean by #1. Do you mean the syntax of putting `comptime` args into the arg list along with the regular ones?

That's an extremely loose bound. 60 years would have the same error bars. https://www.imd.org/research-knowledge/articles/why-you-will...

That sounds wonderful. It's too bad I missed the cultural milieu of the classic Macs, so I lack the motivation to go down this particular road with you. But I'm on a nearby track with other simpler (and non-retro) computing stac

What is the goal? Is it to make using the classic Macintosh more ergonomic in a modern world?

Oh nice!

Why do you call this bidirectional? It doesn't look like you can edit in the web browser and pick up the edits inside the Macintosh emulator?

My sense is that the design goal of Zettelkasten is basically this. Why note cards? Why only a few sentences per card? So you can insert text in a fine-grained manner -- and so you can insert cross-links in a fine-grained manner.

Where have you encountered this critique? I didn't find it in the article.

Thanks! Yeah, I meant whether child threads were allowed to outlive their parents.

The absence of an `await` keyword is key to structured concurrency, though. Was that known before the late 2010s? Edit : Maybe Erlang process trees are structured by default? It's been a while so I don't remember.

Is the Common Lisp community really still so dysfunctional? I notice your link there dates back to 2006. Surely communities can improve over 15 years..

In the spirit of being wrong so I can learn: this seems easy? Would a simple open source CLI suffice?

This needs a new format for source code. We could call it, oh, Literate Programming. Check in only the prompts to version control, expand them into code during CI, then file bugs when new releases of OpenAI cause regressions.
