@mcc this might sound crazy but this is literally the best use I've found for forth

@neauoire lmao literally

@neauoire "then a threw himself down in the chair opposite, and drew up his knees until his fingers clasped round his long, thin shins" this is such adorable autistic body language tbh

@typeswitch either "Hello, world!" or "hello world"

@Miredly yeah it's all fun and games until you actually do for real need to be reached by a phone call

@khm @cathos that sounds great in theory but in this case I needed customer service to call me back within a certain timeframe to reschedule a flight so you mostly just look like an asshole right now, sorry buddy

my phone has this really cool feature where it will never ring when I'm called and just inform me of a missed call after the fact arbitrarily and like, why the fuck do I have a phone if it is incapable of receiving phone calls?

I wince every time I say "an LSP" because LSP is Language Server Protocol, so what I really want is just an "LS" but nobody would know what I mean if I said that

@typeswitch my girlfriend sent this post to me unknowingly like "haha funny joke" and I was like "wait this post is literally about me"

my reliance on LSPs has made me weak over the years

im so upset that they've taken the sparkle emoji from me. thats MY emoji!!

@jk I think it's the latter at a human scale and when I'm at work it starts feeling like living in one of those new flimsy modern cuboid apartment buildings and I'm not allowed to put any holes in the walls

@impactology yes. And kind of relatedly, I haven't ever shut up about that article on Heterodox Economics you shared a while back.

@jk oooh yeah I 100% think of programming environments as architectures. I think I want the programming equivalent of japanese wood joinery (comfortable, beautiful, an impractical obsession with craft). That or an earthhome (iconoclastic, jury-rigged together anarchistically, surprisingly functional).

@ritualdust one of the best!

@mcc *bleeding out of my eyes* you wouldn't believe the power Forth has granted me

@mcc nope. godspeed

@mcc my suggestion with forth is always: consider linked lists as an option

@mcc you're starting to see how forth is more of a "way of life" than a programming language. the community convention is that you write your own forth instead of buying one off the shelf, lol

@mcc you have `partial TRUE !` and `TRUE partial !`, I forget which, but one of those is wrong (I think the latter is correct)
