I'm experimenting with live-evaluating tests in my programming language project. It's relatively fiddly to hook up a UI for this, but it saves a precious keystroke to run the tests! I'm hoping that it results in more, better tests due to the convenience.

Excellent series on Self, both the programming model and the tool chain. I love how opening an inspector on a value (e.g. nil) then shows a link to all occurrences of the value in other open inspectors!

I bring you a message about a language that has been at the birth of many others, but almost no one knows it. A rumor of a graphical environment offering options like no other, but almost no one using it. I also bring information about a virtual machine supporting reflection almost to infinity, reaching almost half of the operating power of C in numerical calculations in its time, yet today forgotten.

Agentic programming workflows rather remind me of genetic programming. The agent has a validation step that looks like a fitness function, and both run iterative trials.
