   I was asking about "quasidupe". But I don't want to extend this thread any longer.

   I personally am also not that huge fan of Excel, a small reason to name it like this was also to try to challenge that concept a little :) . With something more structured, declarative, immutable and exact: * For example, what if Excel wasn

   When I went into this I was thinking we will have a concept of calculated columns and a calculated row (like option of "sums/avg/...") row at the end. Now the default mode of operation is spreadsheet as immutable data. S

   Not sure if you will still see this, or if you are the right address, but anyway. Just thinking ahead ... does this mean that for next 5 months, any subject related to Ryelang is not really desired on HN? For example, let's say that I

   Thanks for your feedback. It's still an open issue, as all naming is in Rye. Currently, when I write code with it, I like the word spreadsheet, it somehow gives symmetry to the two usually fat block arguments that follow. I have a lot

   Thanks for the quasidupe link. I didn't know about it. This cookbook page is focused specifically on the Spreadsheet datatype, which is similar to dataframes, but also has a lot of specific ideas and views I think. It's not someth

   First one was a page full of Rye + Fyne (Go GUI framework) examples and screenshots Second was about a general Ryelang.org page / language Current submission is of a longer page about the Spreadsheet data type.

   I love looking at AoC solution megathreads on reddit. So many languages and so many different approaches are hard to find and observe anywhere.

   I will this year try to be the "support team" for those that will try to do AoC in https://ryelang.org . At least one person said on X.com that he will use it, so we will see :)

    I've just updated https://ryelang.org website, adding new asciinema demos (hn/somafm util and eyr), new cookbook pages, references to rye-gio(ui) project, etc. There is still tons of work, on the language front, bindin

    Uh ... BrianH and Ladislav ... two of the real Rebol magicians. I can't wait to read the second again, and the first for the first time!

    Hehe, thanks ... I didn't know if anyone would find it at least a little funny ... or weird :)

    Interesting example. Now I maybe understand a little what is meant with everything being a string. Before, I didn't quite know the catch. Rebol went the opposite way for somewhat similar effect. It famously had (I think) 37 datatypes a

    There is a whole thread about Tcl/Tk a little lower that you might find interesting ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41634817 ). I can't comment on what is more readable, as I am not proficient in Tcl. I inten

    Rebol has something named definitional scoping. Interesting document about that was called "bindology" (If I remember correctly). We don't have a tutorial about this. In Rye this is still partially open to experimentation. If

    Hm ... I keep hearing about tcl and I'm aware Rebol and Tcl have some similarities, but I've never really looked that deep into it. Now I looked at the first example that I found ( https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page&#x2

    I was so far a little skeptical of these all-in-one solutions, but never say never and language is general one, so somebody could try to tackle this if they see the oportunity. I will try to find out more about LiveView, thanks for the link

    Yes, Rye started and is basically Rebol + few more word types (Rebol has multiple types of words) that allow left to right oriented evaluation (op-words, pipe-words, left-set-words). Get words are `?word` instead of Rebol's `:word` bec

    Rye works on web too, we are currently trying to make a proper and fully compatible web console (REPL) and then include more web technologies. So I think there should be no problem in running Rye-Fyne on web. In fact the developer who is wo

    Thanks for pointing it out. Frankly I haven't looked at that topic with Fyne yet. If I google it I see this response from the main Fyne maintainer from 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31788824 They do keep a

    Thanks for the feedback. Good idea. I will make "Go's Fyne UI library bold" and provide a link to Fyne page at the top.

    There are few conventions with Rye language. Variations of functions use \ character. Like. print , print\csv or read , read\lines ... these are separate functions, with similar goal, but most of the time different arguments. There is a sub

    I haven't heard about this one yet. Rye has "spreadsheet" datatype which is humanized dataframe basically. I will look into this, thanks!
