Oh, I missed that. I guess it's alright then. I thought they chose this particular example to "showcase" Tcl by comparison.

#!/usr/bin/env tclsh puts $argv I kinda wanted to stop reading after this example. It feels dishonest to start with an example for which there is a builtin. Why didn't you show instead how to output argument

How do you deal with customers that don't reply to email notifications and don't have a phone number on file? I can appreciate how terrible must have been to suddenly find all your servers shut down, and I understand how easy it i

This is really cool! Could you please add a keyboard shortcut for focusing the input field? (perhaps a forward slash '/' like on Youtube or Github)

Sometimes I know that a precise word for what I want to say exists, and I'll know it when I see it, but I can't quite remember it in the moment. In those cases I search thesaurus for synonyms to related words; or maybe ask ChatGPT

FIY, you can write `data4.all?(Integer)` because `all?` can take a pattern instead of a block, and it uses the === (just like case...when) I just learned this myself from another comment in this thread. UPD: why do you write `obj.<=(16)`

That's likely because the pattern matching usage was a late addition to the article (wasn't planned from the start)

> Wait what Ruby's triple equals (`===`) is defined differently based on the type of the operand on the left hand side. `a === b` is syntactic sugar for `a.===(b)`; and for classes `klass.===(other)` is defined as `other.is_a?(klass

How can you trust that whatever the expression used in Finnish to denote "Artificial Intelligence" uses "wit" when translated back into English? Words in one language often don't have an exact counterpart in another

Do they have an extensive test suite? I would imagine that it's quite easy to introduce subtle bugs when porting tricky algorithms and other sciency software.

But why would a compiler engineer that's not familiar with Ruby work on Ruby? They have so many other languages to choose from. I don't necessarily think that writing a JIT in Ruby is a good strategy to attract people to work on i

Really fun game, congrats! And good job sticking to it for so long, and getting it out there! I'm curious whether you wrote an automatic solver to find the optimal number of moves per level? And does the number of moves in an optimal s

Does the desired behavior continue after the initial 28 day period? One problem I encountered when I tried to change my behavior using similar methods is that I don't know how strict I should be with myself. For example if I don't
