What I'm listening to today: "Flashdrive", Snail's House
It's not quite the music I usually like, but sometimes I get in a Mood and I pull up Snail's House on YouTube and listen to ALL OF IT.
Snail's House is sugarhigh hypeblast j-pop with startlingly progressive production. The way I think of this album is "NES chiptunes made with real instruments".
@aratinga the only lang that’s come close for me in “that is so pleasant to look at visually” terns is Uiua but that’s obviously a more niche vs ruby’s immediate friendliness
@apophis I'm counting digraphs since I'm thinking in terms of “difficulty for new language learners" and digraphs and not immediately intuitive coming from languages that don't have them. For B, there's “dumb”/“limb" (which have the b pronounced in some accents but not in many). So yeah, maybe just “m" and “v".
you look at Jabba the Hutt and notice Salacious Crumb, the weird little laughing goblin-muppet sitting on his shoulder, and then you look closer and notice a tiny, even weirder guy sitting on Crumb's shoulder, and you imagine it going on like that forever with progressively tinier weirder guys
@billseitz@akkartik I both really value pairing and also find the experience constantly frustrating, especially when I'm not at the keyboard – I think with my hands and without the access to fiddle around in realtime I feel like I'm missing part of myself. Would love something that feels more like scribbling on notecards and stitching the pieces together, even if it's still digital.
@neauoire yeah absolutely. A world where my grocery store runs a projector+camera computer to surveil me sounds like hell. The researchers at dynamicland are very emphatic about resisting that, and I think this is a major reason the project -isn't- open-source. It's "communal-source" instead, open & modifiable to anyone who shares whatever space it's set up in.
But it's worth talking about the risks here, because maybe they're opening the door to getting co-opted and corrupted someday.
