Imagine the state of the world if Brendan Eich had known about Lua and spent those nine days integrating that into Netscape. I believe it had a compatible license, even back in 1995.

Your interactions are limited to choosing from a list of available options; there's no concept of rooms, or verbs, or inventory - just a "knot", a kind of node in a tree of dialog. However, there can be a lot of state, which

I've already mentioned [Dialog]( https://linusakesson.net/dialog/index.php ) above; you seem primed to check it out; Dialog is a mix of ideas from Inform7 and Prolog. Crazy, and it seems to work.

I think the creator of [Dialog]( https://linusakesson.net/dialog/index.php ) - an IF language that draws inspiration from Prolog - gets the balance between text and code right; most text is ... just text. Code is in par

I absolutely look angry when I code. There’s even photo proof from various conferences. Still love the results even if I’m grinding my teeth the whole time.

A favorite of mine; back when I frequented a lot of software conventions I would bring my set and those odd, colorful pyramids would always draw some attention. You can tell the difference between developers who play this game, as opposed t

Clojure. Fluency in Java is a plus, due to interop. It’s a stable language - it accrues new features and gets faster but is intensely focused on backwards compatibility. I use Clojure for backend, ClojureScript for front end, and Babashka f

Read the FAQ; they are pretty clear that Godot stays MIT license as today. My read of all this is that they are intending to provide similar porting services as some of the others (who they mention and link to) BUT because they are core co

A long, long, long, time ago I had a conversation with a Unix consultant at my Dad's business; his hobby was flying stunt planes with a twist: each plane had a 100 yard long ribbon tied to the tail; the winner was the pilot who landed

This was written in 2009, subsequently there is Dialog: https://linusakesson.net/dialog/index.php which is a meld of Prolog (!) with IF and it's very, very nice to program in.

I'd like a Lisp with some type declaration and inference; essentially, a more-strongly typed Clojure. Immutable data structures by default. I'd like it to create stand-alone executables (not JVM bytecode), but still have a full

Joker was created by a team mate and I can't overstate just how useful it is; we do a lot of our DevOps work using it, it's a linter for our Clojure code, it's just handy. It's optimized for startup time and its scope is

I do 100% Clojure work, but am learning Elixir (and may someday use that at work as well). In any case, there's a lot to like on both sides, but there's also a dichotomy: communicate by sharing state (Clojure - atoms, channels) v
