Comment on The Curl that is not on the pages of any book (yet) by Administrator

Candidates for most important might include {Memoizer-of } and value classes.
Newest of interest might be the “pointer” Reference-to, itself implemented as a value class.
WeakPoiner-to can be found in the same package: CURL.UTIL.POINTER-TO

XOTcl has resulted in a terrific Tcl IDE called XOTclIDE modelled on the Squeak Smalltalk IDE

The executable for linux may not be in a bin – just look for snobol4
The first time you run ./snobol4 add -h to get the cmd line options

actually you don’t have to edit the tksliderc file manually.
Click Edit/Preferences — you can set the external editor to your favourite one, all additional parameters (like ‘-new-window’) have to be entered in a separate textfield (just below the ‘external editor’ entry.

And why exactly should I use XOTcl?

Comment on Yield, Mercury and Prolog for dot.NET by Jeff Thompson

Jeff Thompson — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:54:02 +0000

You said “the price you pay is abandoning some familiar Prolog syntax in exchange for prolog-like behavior” but note also that Yield Prolog comes with a compiler that turns normal Prolog into C#, Javascript or Python. See:

Thanks for the link!

Comment on Grails baseline directories by jottings from the Eclectic Pencil » Blog Archive » groovy Grails tips and cheatsheet

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 19:09:16 +0000

[...] Over at eclectic-pencil.blogspot.com I have some notes on getting Grails up and running without having to chase through a FAQ and some mail-list threads. I may add a few pages here. At the moment I am completely absorbed with the RIFE web app framework, so that may get a few pages as well. RIFE continuations are a great introduction to the Seaside continuations framework for folks more at home with Java. RIFE is also a framework in more than name-only. And the author of the framework aims it at java developers with no promises of ‘RIA without programming’ and, well, less hype: they do stretch the 80-20 rule in claiming that “you get 90% of the features with 10% of the usual effort, thanks to its full stack.” RIFE continuations use pause(), rather like Ruby uses yield(), so that is another avenue to approach RIFE. The RIFE wiki has a page on using groovy with RIFE so life will be interesting. [...]
