Monthly Curations- Jun 2022

(As before, simply lifted from my tagged Micro.blog posts, and, I realize, heavily skewed this month towards specific themes)

• A minimalist scheme (R4RS, and fits in 4K of memory)

• Lisp in the browser, playfully done.

• Making (“printing!”) objects with Sound!

• Of REPLs:

  It’s trivial to build human-friendly CLI on top of machine-friendly RPC, but much harder to build machine-friendly RPC on top of a human-oriented command line.

• Resources for self-learning math

• A counter-point to overly designing for flexibility in software.

• A quick over view of the features in Tinderbox (by Eastgate)

• Looking back at Erlang, but also the rich history of telephony from which it (and distributed systems in general) drew inspiration

• The “weird elephant story”

• Guides to the world of Smalltalk: 1 2

• A good scene composition from Dune, set to the best track from the soundtrack

• Showcasing the history of Smalltalk, or rather the role of Smalltalk in the broader quest for a better form of learning-by-modeling.
