Are you going to fix this and other small bugs in the tar or are we just going to patch them on the fly? If the plan is to patch maybe we need a thread with patches - so people can get up and running fast.
Personally I think using Anarki is fast, straightforward and community friendly... So that may be my choice in the end when arc3/mz372 has some time to stabilize.
Is there a reason you are avoiding source control?
Just giving it a preliminary look over, it seems like you changed 'set to 'assign. Any reason for this in particular, pg? It seems like it changes a lot of code, and as 'set is fairly common, it kind of goes against the philosophy of short names for common operators.
It's not so many uses that it's impossible to update. Many if not most of these uses could admittedly be replaced with '=, and arguably this was the correct thing to do in the first place. It just seems like an odd decision, and I'm wondering if there's any specific reason for it.
In my opinion "set" is a better name for what "assert" used to do, and I think "set" was available since it was being used for a low-level operation for which in user code "=" is a better and shorter name.
"I worry about releasing it, because I don't want there to be forces pushing the language to stop changing. Once you release something and people start to build stuff on top of it, you start to feel you shouldn't change things. So we're giving notice in advance that we're going to keep acting as if we were the only users. We'll change stuff without thinking about what it might break, and we won't even keep track of the changes."
Yeah, I didn't try to suppress error messages because I'm curious how often it actually finds something.
When you say blank, do you mean completely blank, or just no stories? Because caching means that stories take a minute to show up to nonlogged-in users.
Ok now it's not my environment. I have made no changes just the arc3 files and mzscheme372.
* I have only 3 posts and 3 comments, if I log in as admin and keep hitting the comments link - not crazily like, but right after the page load completes - about the 10th time or so the hyperlinks change format then the whole forum get locked and goes blank.
I am using mac osx.
After about an hour I'm getting the impression the forum is glitchy. There's just a bunch of quirky behavior like the above (pages are slower to load - page painting is noticeable.... etc etc)
Hm, you seem to use the . notation as Python uses decorators, but chaining multiple decorators has a very different effect. In python, I'd expect foo.bar.3 to be (foo (bar (3))). In Arc, it seems to do (foo bar 3).
