<elliottcable> the bot now uses different nicknames for different kinds of projects.

<micahjohnston> hi elliottcable
<elliottcable> FUCKING MICAH
<elliottcable> I'm so depressed make me happy GO
* elliottcable presses micah's GO button
<elliottcable> that doesn't mean program in Go.
<elliottcable> just finished an article on go routines.
<elliottcable> what a boring language.
<elliottcable> god damn you Google for taking attention away from important things.
<micahjohnston> haha
<elliottcable> Everything that Go is supposed to be good for, Rust is better for; even though it's not released.
<micahjohnston> i wanna programmmm
<elliottcable> fukin' Google vs Mozilla.
<elliottcable> go write Paws? idk.
<micahjohnston> yeah :p
<elliottcable> if you're in the mood we can talk about it.
<elliottcable> I was *insanely* productive the other night.
<elliottcable> http://ell.io/iyQsW
<elliottcable> http://ell.io/iksNH
<elliottcable> Fixed a bunch of issues in *other* peoples' code, so *my* code could work.
<micahjohnston> neato
<elliottcable> also, figured out how all of the commonly-used Node.js systems work.
<elliottcable> Now I'm fully into CoffeeScript, require() / browserify, etceteras *and* the services that support them.
<elliottcable> I have to admit, despite hating them with a passion, the set as a whole is pretty damn powerful.
<elliottcable> etcetcetcetc
<elliottcable> anyway.
<elliottcable> you got time, and the desire to dev, then? I can get into dev-mode if you want to try to collab on something.
<micahjohnston> sure
<elliottcable> entire point of all this meta-setup-shit *anyway* was to make collaboration easier.
<micahjohnston> i am kind of wanting to game make for iphone
<micahjohnston> but also design languages
<elliottcable> design a game-langauge?
<elliottcable> or a language that's a game.
<micahjohnston> yeahyeahyeah
<micahjohnston> the first one
<micahjohnston> tempus
<micahjohnston> or paws
<micahjohnston> or some shit
<elliottcable> a langauge that's a game could be interesting.
<elliottcable> didn't we have an “ideas” thing in purr, somewhere?
<micahjohnston> oh remember that one
<micahjohnston> um
<micahjohnston> bouncing shit
<micahjohnston> 2d ascii gride
<micahjohnston> not befunge because that's gay
<micahjohnston> it had / and \ as bumpers
<micahjohnston> -idea
<micahjohnston> a language that's a game makes me think of interactive proofs like epigram
<elliottcable> I'm thinking something visual.
<elliottcable> It's a game, you've *gotta* get out of the text medium.
<elliottcable> visual languages suck, but you're *making a game*, the language doesn't have to be epic or anything.
<elliottcable> it's gotta be powerful enough to get an obsessive following.
<elliottcable> the kind of people who write web-servers in Bash, or IRC clients in brainfuck.
<elliottcable> somebody's gotta go try to write a JS VM in your game.
<elliottcable> ANYWAY
<elliottcable> let's get a clean Paws made.
<elliottcable> so we can develop for it.
<elliottcable> I want to move forward with interesting, new stuff. )=
<elliottcable> and the messy clusterfuck that is the *working* Paws was preventing that. /=
<micahjohnston> let's redesign paws the language
<micahjohnston> in several hours
<micahjohnston> and write it
<micahjohnston> it is currently a turing tarpit
<micahjohnston> :p
<elliottcable> oh?
<elliottcable> micahjohnston ⑊ explain!
<micahjohnston> well like
<micahjohnston> it's hard to write things in bare paws
<micahjohnston> yeahyeahyeah pawsnculeas
<micahjohnston> but like it's fun to write things in bare lisp or haskell or shit
<micahjohnston> yknow
<micahjohnston> or Io
<micahjohnston> so like we could make it really fun
<elliottcable> hmmm
<elliottcable> I gotcha, completely
<elliottcable> here's my theory:
<elliottcable> or at least, I guess, what I've designed for:
<elliottcable> I want it to *accelerate* fast.
<elliottcable> as in, it should be “fun to write things in” with *very little* abstraction on top of bare.
<elliottcable> I've tried not to design-it-down, to the point where it's going to take some massive library of abstractions to be usable. Y'know?
<elliottcable> If that turns out to be the case, meh, we can re-design, keep the good stuff.
<elliottcable> I just want to find out if it worked, without having to waste even *more* time on re-design, unless it's obviously and visibly unusably-bad at some point while we're working, so we *know* we have to re-start.
<micahjohnston> oh so have you done some recent redesign?
<micahjohnston> aside: poker is a really elegant game from a game design standpoint
<elliottcable> I've never played it; how so?
<micahjohnston> well, it's a really cool way to randomly give an ordering to a group of people, and to incrementally/gradually reveal information to each person about that ranking
<micahjohnston> and the betting mechanics are a really cool way to, e.g., allow you to force people to either take risks or drop out
<micahjohnston> not sure how to explain that
<micahjohnston> but I mean
<micahjohnston> it's entirely luck, like if you get consistently bad hands you will consistently lose
<micahjohnston> but still I admire the rules a ton
<elliottcable> I get the idea
<elliottcable> The rules don't try to *create* fun; they create an environment where things that *are* fun, thrive.
<elliottcable> difference between floral carpet and a greenhouse.
<micahjohnston> heh kinda yeha
<micahjohnston> it's a very people game
<micahjohnston> although can be fun with AIs on a cell phone
<micahjohnston> I really like the way it controls information, and the ways and amounts of power it gives people over eacho ther
<elliottcable> ugh
<elliottcable> more arguing with Chelsea
<elliottcable> sorry
<elliottcable> anyway
<micahjohnston> aw
<micahjohnston> :(
* elliottcable shrugs
<purr> ¯\(º_o)/¯
<elliottcable> gonna go port more code over.
<micahjohnston> coo
* micahjohnston shrugs
<purr> ¯\(º_o)/¯

<elliottcable> That *just clicked* for me.
<elliottcable> Somehow, I'd never really processed the monetary value of “a bitcoin” until I realized *that*.
<elliottcable> iPhone, unlocked and contract-free? 6.5 BTC.

<elliottcable> It's so excellent. Oh my god. Watch it now.
<elliottcable> The last one I linked is by far the “higest” of them.

<elliottcable> “I'm going to piss myself to sleep tonight. Like, if I die, that'll be one of my great quotes.”
<elliottcable> all set to broken donkey-kong music and fucked-up visuals.
