What a great idea. I believe in this a trillion percent, due to the personal experience of watching myself and a stronger developer tackle similar problems at the same time. I relied on my brain and the standard tools of my system. He of co

All credit to Conor White-Sullivan for making links cool again. > unordinary direction Hahaha, this is a very polite way to put that=) But I do appreciate it.

I had't seen it! The "clones" feature is cool, it sounds like they're way ahead in figuring out how to use transclusions effectively when coding. Previously I'd thought of using transclusions for things like long-li

That's it. And the linearizer is only one way-- you write text with [[links]] and turn that into plaintext.

I wish you could just use Obsidian Publish to host sites, but due to the indentation issue you have to control the rendering, which is a bummer. Obsidian Digital Garden[1] is FOSS, so it might be modifiable parse and output the code pages c

Of course! I should have just guessed they'd already have something like this. We either need to port ALL of Glamorous Toolkit to mainstream langs or we need to convince all our employers to switch to Smalltalk. I am not certain which

Hazel and Unison are two of the big ones. I'm friends with some of the Unison folks so I'm biased, but I really like how few features there are in the language. In general I'm just a huge sucker for subtractive improvement:

I love Smalltalk, and have done a reasonable amount of messing around with Cuis (which is awesome and everyone should try it). However this gives you two things that Smalltalk doesn't: 1. It's language agnostic (boring I know) 2

That video is wonderful. And thanks for all the other information as well, it's very helpful.

The odd thing is unison started purely as a language. Now there's a platform. I often find the best way to understand complex things is to dig all the way back to when they were being thought up. In this case there's a blog post

Definitely. I'm not actually looking for reassurance myself (I've already switched). I was more asking about the tactics of the situation since it seems really different than the modal "would anyone even want this?" star

I generally agree with your comment, but isn't there an exception for companies that do well enough early enough to let the founders keep control with supervoting stock? Then the founders can do whatever they want... which might be mak

Do you have thoughts on the Heroku->Render dynamic? Is there a name for it? I've seen it enough now to recognize a solid pattern for a successful business: 1. Company starts to do X, makes it a wonderful experience 2. Users love it,

Fantastic comment, thank you. One question I have is which of these are fixed across Unicode standards. (a) Byte count for storage and (b) code point count are definitely fixed, Unicode provides an explicit guarantee of the latter: https:&

I've been hearing fantastic things about Render. One concern I have is about the trajectory of the company-- for example there was a time when Heroku was a great bet, then it got sold and stalled. What are the most convincing points yo
