Ah! I've seen Huw's work on YouTube - caught a few videos. I didn't realize he had so many language books. I enjoyed his Smalltalk series covering how Alan Kay's notion of OOP wasn't at all what it's turned into.I've not heard*snip* |

Quick Catch Up8th June 2025
Happy to hear you're okay! I suppose it's better to go through a life-threatening event and find out you have an allergy than to be exposed in a less ideal situation. |

You can borrow it from the Internet Archive if you've got an account there. (It's like a virtual library).They do prohibit copyrighted works being just downloaded however. The CD might come down to the other local interloan route... (Linkage)*snip* |

New Chapter for Commodore?8th June 2025
I think they're going to have to do more than just emulation to differentiate themselves. New actual hardware would be exciting. TheC64 is already a full sized Commodore clone (I own one - it's cool) retrogames.biz Owning the brand is one thi*snip* |

Vibe Coding7th June 2025
I've found the quality of the output is proportional to the amount of source code it's had to sample from.It really stumbles with BlitzMax for example often hallucinating things that don't exist (such as templates for functions). If you want*snip* |

Future of Blitz7th June 2025

Blitz Forum Alternatives6th June 2025
I'd agree with Kuron.You've got a niche of a niche otherwise. Even with Syntax Bomb supporting MORE languages, the interest was limited to maybe 3 or so posts a day by maybe 7 or so active people. I'd open it up to Blitz + other BASIC diale*snip* |
