Here's mine: https://cmacleod.me.uk/ - I'm a retired programmer, my site has links to various projects, mostly in Tcl, some Javascript or C, also old blog, etc.

Note: when posting a link to an article on Newsgrouper it's best to use the "Permalink" at the bottom of the article. People clicking that will get straight to the article without needing to login as a guest. The permalink for this article is: https://newsgrouper.org/%3C10jcmri$l9u0$1@paganini.bofh.team...

As with most Python problems, the solution is to switch to Tcl - https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl9.0/TclCmd/interp.html#M44 :-)

There is a lot to like about TCL but it does not have the huge ecosystem.

Very interesting!

Note that the name might be confused with an old project: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Feather .

In Tcl you can redefine "if", or even delete it entirely if you're crazy enough :-)

You can't delete word binding in Rye. I will have to add some solution just for REPL, because sometimes you instantiate something and make a bug and need to reiterate, but in the language itself no.

The one thing that really annoys me about HN is that when you return to a discussion that you read the day before, there is no way to easily find the comments which are new since your previous visit. This is basic functionality which Usenet always had (and still does).

What "acquisition"? Nobody owns Usenet, it's a cooperative effort between many different server operators which continues to this day.

"pause the program and run commands in the paused program" - that's often possible in Tcl too. There are various ways to interact with a running program, query or modify variables, run commands, load updated code, etc.

Yeah that is what i mentioned with the Visual Tcl bit above but the comparison here was with Delphi/Lazarus.

Reader mode in Firefox worked for me :-)

Ah, thank you for reminding me of that trick, indeed it works for Slate. Unfortunately that's not the case on many other paywalled sites.
