Cincom is handing out licenses for using their Smalltalk implementation for personal use!
I've downloaded it and I'm going to kick the tires 😀 https://twitter.com/cincomsmalltalk/status/1028959630142201857

Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.

Tests returning values and composing is a really interesting model. It establishes structure and shows which test failure is the most 'fundamental'.
I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down.
It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs.
Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
