You said no-Lua, but since for many interested in this thread Lua's a non-problem, I'll pitch a disconcertingly under-hyped / under-noticed native (aka non-Electron) editor with Lua extension story (and many of its parts buil

It's pretty rad really: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/ What I like about it is how it exposes pretty much all capabilities with no chance of breaking the editor host itself. Just the right balance of constrain

I get what Turbo Vision is (was), but what's that B800 thing? Surely you aren't talking about a Celeron processor? Seems tricky to google, also no Wiki page on that. You got me curious, plz spill it! =)

Don't you mean "Codeium"? Because "Codium" is a vscode fork, as such itself not dealing with AI.

I heard that it varies by cell type from at most 7 years, down to under-24-hours for a few types. But.. that's just my memory from some read many years ago. Curious what the latest official number is.

Damn neat, congrats! Some minor feedbacks to get potential users hooked perhaps even more likelier: Took me a while to hit the "Walk" feature, given that this is perhaps for many the major showcase highlight here. First, having to

AFAICT, their expansion still happens during an interpretation cycle — but when you "interpret" AST into your byte-code.

There's also Make-A-Lisp and, unlike most write-you-a-lisp/scheme-s out there, that one also covers TCO interpretation, quasiquotation/unquote for macros and their expansion, and goes up to self-hosting: https://gi
