Didn't Valve release a huge update to Half-Life in 2023 (i.e. 6 years after the linked comment was written)?

> I do wonder what a language with the same “taste” and minimalism as Scheme but embracing the actor model would look like.

You haven't seen the Lisp subreddit then, there is a post complaining about having to learn Emacs at least once every week or so.

There is an explanation in the blog: https://coalton-lang.github.io/20260424-mine/

> However, the above is a tall order for someone just wanting to dip their toes in, to see if they have any interest in Coalton or Common Lisp. A couple hours on the weekend is easily sunk into getting configurations right, and the right subsystems installed, and the right paths setup, just so the first line of code can be executed.

> mine is not Emacs. It aims to eliminate all of that, and be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment, whose only job is to be a Coalton/Lisp-first development environment. But more than that, it needs to be accessible. A non-programmer should find it easy to download, install, and run mine with nothing more than a download link.

OpenLook is nice but it's a bit of a shame it doesn't have its own version of Workbench.

A base becomes useless pretty quickly if it can't be resupplied, I suspect there is enough hostile AA around it to ensure that.

Carbon is a better Apple-related comparison since it's basically a cleaned-up version of the classic Mac OS API as a library that ran on both Mac OS X and classic.

It's kind of a cliche at this point, but Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs really blew my mind when I read it in high school. I didn't finish it "cover to cover" back then, but it was my first proper introduction to symbolic computation, recursion, and the concept of a metacircular evaluator was really fascinating. It inspired me to implement a simple Scheme-like interpreter in C# for my high school science project, and really put me on my adult path.
