- NeXeNquarkus is aiight
- NeXeNthe older i get the less Fs i give about what framework, language, or library i am using, as long as it doesn't have a lot of CVEs and stuff for me to patch up
- NeXeNsometimes i forget and have to check the language i'm using.....
- jreicherWe should all go back to Smalltalk
- NeXeNyou know, true a true lisp machine (sort of but not related to lisp the language) has a wonderful feature where everything is a tree, and your codepath is a bunch of Ys and where data goes in or out is a dangling end on the Y connected to that function that either emits or sinks it
- NeXeNi forget who invented it, but it was replaced by the current type of machine, von neumann i believe
- jreicherHe had a hand in it. Princeton architecture is probably what you're thinking of.
- jreicherBut Backus blamed him.
- NeXeNespecially because it was a recursive, which will blow your memory up. having a stack and a heap is a nice design alternatively
- NeXeNbut i love the design of it's simplicity to solve problems, and i think one could code a system like that it just has to be modern in it's approach to memory management
- deeboany known good replacements for easy-random, to generate random object trees using records?
- deebofound at least k-random, a kotlin fork of it that works partially

- cheeserpart of morphia 3 will provide more escape from a stringly typed set up. folding in critter to the core, essentially.
