⇦ I have a quarter baked language I've been working on. It's mostly crap, but a syntax idea fell out that I think is pretty neat. Reassigning is cool as it's lexically scoped so easy to reason about (mutation is bad as it isn't). The new idea is that instead of special symbols (in this case +=) we generalise with a keyword (alt) that affects all infix operators, so the ...

COMMENTARY: In an era when AI can write anything, authentic education must go beyond the mere production of words. “The end then of Learning,” wrote John Milton in 1644, “is to repair the ruines of our first Parents.” The image is hard to improve: education as repair, as recovery, as the restoration of capacities diminished by sin and neglect. Four centuries later, in the age of generative ...
