I don’t think that counts as an automatic opt-in, given that it’s presented to the user directly during the setup process.

I’m so glad they got rid of the moon. The new Gerudo emblem is so much cooler looking.

It’s a cute idea but I found it to be exceedingly unpleasant.

Who cares if it’s ludicrous? It’s a fun idea!

Given that a lot of people use it in the wild I’m not sure where you’re getting that from.

It used to be the official logo. The project was called PLT Scheme at the time.

C, python, java, Fortran, ruby, Common Lisp, Haskell, go, zig (I think), forth, swift, cobol, pretty much any language that doesn’t directly descent from Scheme.

What’s the safari story look like right now?

I think you’re missing the point…

I feel like this question doesn’t need a blog post to answer. Why write code in 2026? Because it’s fun.

It’s difficult to interpret his position as being in good faith given the organisation that controls and represents.

I’m gonna hazard a guess and say that I don’t think the author has any troops anywhere, let alone in Ukraine.

Those issues could have been fixed…

So it sounds like you don’t get the exact version you want because metadata is thrown away.

I definitely miss Darcs. I still use it very occasionally, but only with very small repos.

Did you read what this does? Because I get the feeling you didn’t… This isn’t a library, you don’t include in your application, and it doesn’t try to replace an understanding of floating point issues on the programmers part. Is this comment

I guess when you’ve been calling it that before everyone else you’re allowed. Sort of how Common Lisp calls threads ‘processes’.

Ha, I was going to say the exact opposite. My first thought was that the website was broken.

To be fair, the examples are extremely easy to overlook. They are also, to put it delicately, not the most helpful.

That feels fundamentally broken. How can you expect an organisation to respond appropriately if you don’t provide them any kind of proof?

Well my first testing of the waters was classified as a misdirected love letter.

It looks like there’s a download link that contains the source code. Presumably you untar it, follow any necessary build instructions, and then run it.

I love to see modern analysis of these machine!

Ah. So we’re recreating COBOL in 2026 I see.

This very much depends on your definition of ‘best’. While your criticisms of the environment are valid, smalltalk is flexible in tangible ways that Java couldn’t match. Java took the OO model of smalltalk and make a bunch compromises that

I can’t be alone in this, but this seems like a supremely terrible idea. I reject whole heartedly the idea that any sizeable portion of one’s code base should specifically /not/ be human interpretable as a design choice. There’s a
