Depends on what you mean by power, I suppose. Nova is Turing complete, so there's that. One big difference between Nova and -most- logic languages is that "forgetting" things is a normal part of operation. Nova is also forwar

(Nova dev here) Nova's execution model is a lot friendlier to implement vs Prolog, for one. One big reason reach for Nova are when I have something -very- state-machine shaped. It is quite good at that. I'll try to come back later

I've been working on https://deja-vu.junglecoder.com which is an attempt to build a JS toolkit for HTML-based doodads that shares some ideas with this. I don't quite have proper reactive/two-way data binds worked

They are fairly generalizable, to a point. The thing about Erlang behaviors is that they rely on several other pieces of Erlang to work well . One big one is being able to be notified when another process goes down, or is aborted. The othe

So, the big difference between Go and Erlang style concurrency is that go style concurrency doesn't give you a readily available reliable way to keep an eye on other goroutines, as I understand it, where there are mechanisms in Erlang

Where would you use this? Most languages have good enough string processing to imitate a lot of what AWK does

I mean, a lot of people may not have the financial option to have had kids younger. Like, the last 15 years have included two "completely upend your life" level crises, along with a lot of smaller crises that could have swept up

The first edition of this book was my introduction into how computers worked at a lower level. It gave me enough of a grounding in various concepts that I was able to understand much of a Digital Systems class. It also partly inspired my fi

Do you have any plans on adding hashtables/dictionaries of any sort to the language? It seems to be above the cutting-off point for some other retro basics I've seen, like QB64. Perhaps it's too complicated to add, but they f

If you're wanting to use Elixir, it's not going to be nearly as mainstream as, say, Node, but fly.io has support for Elixir apps (to speak of cloud), and I think there's some cool stuff going on in Elixir myself. Of other not

Games are dramatically simpler. Like, Commander Keen and the other of those games are the same amount of effort that might go in to a particularly well staffed month-long game jam today, just in terms of assets and total needed code. CV-11s

I think a huge gap here is between gamedev as a hobby (where throwing away prototypes, or only doing jam-level games is fine and fun) vs trying to make games as an indie with an eye for quitting their day job. One of those is massively

It is a rant, a well argued one, with a lot of salient points, IMO. And ridicule is part of the point of text (not subtext) of the essay. Dan is making an emotional argument as much as he's making a logical one, because a lot of people
