I checked in Firefox and Chrome (on Linux) and code samples look OK to me. What browser/OS are you using. Maybe send me a screenshot at janko dot itm at gmail.

Any concrete feedback on looping mechanisms being confusing is appreciated.

BTW: In Lisps, if is still a special form / macro, because in Lisp lists are evaluated by default, in Rebols if can be a function because blocks (lists) aren't evaluated by default.

When I am not working on my 'job' project, I am working on Ryelang. In September, I was working on language core, console, generic methods, etc ... but this week I updated integration with OpenAI, IMAP, Surf (browser like client)

One potential problem, or at least a trust issue, with AI-driven surgeons is the lack of "skin in the game". Or no internal motivation, at least that we can comprehend and relate to. If something goes off the charts during surgery

But didn't LLMs read all the math books and can't really do arithmetics (they need special modes / hacks / python to do it I think)? So why would they be able to "read" the docs and use that knowledge except up

@AllegedAlec Rye is fully runtime homoiconic. Rebol had great emphasis on DSL-s (dialects), and Rye has them too (validation, math, ...), but tries to be more conservative with them, because the main Rye DSL should be quite flexible. Instea

I googled Alan Kay Steps and got to what seems an very interesting PDF. I will read it, just to be certain by "might actually help here" - what is "here"? You mean with Rye language design generally, LLM-s relating to ne

Cool, this explains that idea of code as a tool for thinking in a really good way. Haven't read the whole post yet.

One benefit can be more interactive development, or interaction with the embedded device. I think various forths were used on embedded systems also because of that. And some projects just don't require much speed and benefit from a hig

It was all cash only. We're not in the US :) ... btw: Slovenia (small country) has more than 1,300 voluntary fire departments, and approximately 8% of the entire Slovenian population are volunteer firefighters. It's the main way e

Based on feedback I got, I should rewrite this post, to focus just on 3 Rye examples (starting with the second) and explain them better. Or write another blog post that explains this blog post, with simpler examples for each main mechanism.

One feature I like with CCLM ... it's far less verbose than the LLM-s :)

Cool examples, thanks! I haven't used Excel extensively, but I sometimes help at some company where the non-IT founder made complex set of Excel spreadsheets for various things and I rather not touch them at all. I see too much chance

Thanks! Well, I name things and try to use them, and usually they cristalize, if not before, then through feedback of others :). I saw Murex Shell ... cool!
