fine, but can you buy alternatives that run your software then?

no because, from what I understand you have to do this on a per-app (per version even?) basis

Would it not be nicer to have a dual boot phone where one OS is baked in rom and only contains certain necessary government/banking/medical service apps and the other is just completely free to use for whatever purpose? Just a tho

Can we please stop to design our whole society around the inability of people to deal with things?

I find the hivemind terribly oppressing at times. AI tools are great, but in the end it seems to me that the results matter most. However we seem to go from hype to hype, again and again. It's all so tiresome. Why can't we just re

It's a side effect of pass-by-reference. In most languages you have to guess if something is passed by value/ref. In xoscript everything is always a reference.

1. I guess this is just personal taste, we can add aliases if you like. lf (lowercase seems nice). Smalltalk itself uses brk. Could at both. Personally I love the 'touch' of history, makes it seem like there is continuum in tech s

I don't feel oppressed. I'm just happy with my life.

Out is used in a static/class-like sense here, hence the uppercase letter. It means it should not be treated as an instance (although it technically does not really matter).

I would love to further discuss some syntax issues. - STOP is from telegraphs. \n is also allowed. - The assymetric string boundaries (brackets) allow you to embed quotes/boundaries without escaping. what is terse about the loops? any

I dont care what you or anyone else thinks. I give you a free tool. That's all.

it means there are objects, everything is an object. That has nothing to do with side-effects.

well that's what I want to avoid. What it means is that someone like xlibre-author could create a pr and I will not reject it.

maybe I'll add support for pledge/unveil (with cgi) as well - what do you think?

I used PHP, nodejs, Python etc and I just wanted something simpler. I use OpenBSD as my server os and I wanted a scripting language that matches the simplicity (and security) of OpenBSD.

and.. I want to avoid having to add a coc. Can try.

I was having doubts about this too. But in today's (geo)political climate it might be useful. Otherwise I can always delete it. But you're right, it's just a hammer.

I know it's probably not for everyone, but yeah I like the general idea of Smalltalk. However, xoscript does not have the whole vm/image thing. Also no classes, just prototypes. So I guess it sits more between smalltalk and js. Yo

Yes, I understand that. It all just seems so grim?

Thanks, I thought I was the only one noticing this. One interesting point you make is that young people have a very hard time with the economical situation. A lot of them seem apathetic, they literally say to me that they don't want to

That's nice, but tiktok seems such a weird way of sharing it. I mean, how can you search for certain recordings/performances or discuss it? It's just an ever going list of movies, with no structure, you cannot even predict wh

I showed them my game on the c64 ;-) No, I talked a lot with my elders when I was young. And I also talked a lot about tech to millenials when they were young, even helped them to learn coding or other tech. It's just that the youngest

Well, every young person I know is constantly glued to the phone watching tiktok. I don't mean to be negative. I installed tiktok myself, but I could not really understand what they like about it. Maybe you can explain? I tried to unde
