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!

Environment and the programming language Self (part one; environment)

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.

@wilfredh "programmers don't call their language something that's impossible to search for" challenge: impossible

@pmmeurcatpics Perl and Clojure are the only notable exceptions really. I guess typescript is unique but frequently abbreviate.

@wilfredh or ocaml maybe.. I guess the more popular ones tend to just displace the original search results, like Rust or Java. C++ has the SEO-friendly variant "cpp".

The one that saddens me the most is Lean, because what I'm looking for is this beautiful math thing, and what I end up seeing is some project management silliness (funnily enough, searching it on my phone right now brought up the drug instead)
