Teiva Harsanyi shared his experience with writing a Go book for a tech publisher, Manning.
When we evaluate something, a coding project, a book, or an illustration, we often forget how much time, energy, and emotion someone may have poured into it. We have no idea what that work cost them.
@veer66 I haven't tried DEdit yet.
@mattof Likely.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Emacs anymore.
The highlights of Flathub in 2025.
Or in simple words, in five years, Flathub’s yearly download volume has increased by more than fifteen times.

@phred It was a productive and frictionless environment.
@mattof You're welcome. It's a nice little system that already made possible coding on the go a couple of decades ago.
@felix And the site still provides great documentation that gets you up to speed with the system.
When I had a Palm III I used extensively LispMe, a Scheme development environment for Palm OS. It was quite capable, supported GUI primitives, and I had lots of fun writing several programs including a bytecode disassembler.
In this paper the developer described the implementation and architecture of LispMe, which did a lot with the limited resources of the device:
The LispMe project site:
@nina_kali_nina That's really surprising for a major city. In Milan, Italy, over the past couple of decades I had to call ambulances many times for my family elders (for non life threatening situations) and never waited more than 10-15 minutes.
@nina_kali_nina Pretty much Frankenwindows.
@bitsplusatoms The good thing is my ISP is the same as my mobile carrier, i.e. Vodafone Italy, and they offered free cellular data over the duration of the outage.
@bitsplusatoms I feel your pain as several years ago I had an Internet aoutage at home for ten days or so. Did your radio equipment help in some way?
@dougmerritt Some kind of proposal of how to improve traditional languages is conspicuously missing.
@spacehobo That would be interesting indeed.
@AlanGrassia How it started, how it's going.
@dougmerritt This is a preliminar guide to his structure editor for LISP 1.5 Deutsch published in 1967:
https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/LISP/bbnlisp/W-21_LISP_Editor_Apr67.pdf
The paper mentions Warren Teitelman extending the editor at BBN. Presumably with BBN Lisp which became Interlisp in 1973.
@sysedit Glad it helps.
