I have serialized Lopebook into a single string you can paste into the console. Here I am editing an notebook inside google maps, lol (trying to think of good demos for serializability)

💬 Dev Hayatpur: LIVE 2026 | Workshop on Live Programming (LIVE)
Hi everyone,
The LIVE Programming Workshop will be held online Oct 17. Submissions due July 21. https://liveprog.org/ LIVE welcomes a broad range of submissions on new programming interfaces. Submissions can take many forms, from a traditional paper, a web essay, or a video. Happy to chat if you've any questions!
PS: The website (on desktop) has a little easter egg:)

Just thinking I won't say resonite has a very novel programming language, but the way it really incubated a thriving community for the language ecology do feels very inspiring for me: Building a New VR Universe - Resonite

If for some reason you have a deepseated aversion to My Little Pony, don't check this out, but otherwise, please do. It's possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen someone do with a browser.

💬 guitarvydas: Make Programming Distributed and Asynchronous Again
Trying to describe an asynchronous system using reactive components programmed in the synchronous programming paradigm is too low level. We need a “GOTO Considered Harmful” moment in distributed programming.

💬 guitarvydas: Make Programming Fun Again
Trying to make a sketch of my opinion of what constitutes fun programming…
Fun
- JIT type checking, Full REPL, GC
Not Fun
- AOT type checking, manual memory management, manual type checking, stunted REPL

💬 guitarvydas: Why Modern Software Is So Bloated
I've been dissecting Forth Haiku, mentioned on the Handmade discord. This rabbit hole just strengthens my convictions about bloatware...
Here’s an uncomfortable truth: nearly all modern programming languages are essentially the same. They’re variants of CPU assembler—synchronous, sequential, and built around the function call paradigm.
Why Modern Software Is So Bloated
💬 gtlpd21
One more clarification about the motivation.
Most end-user systems and programming models are still shaped by a
personal-computing assumption: one user, one machine, one isolated
environment.
It is normal for one individual nowadays to operate across 3 to 5 computers and
devices (for example a laptop, phone, tablet, and nearby or embedded
machines), and in many real situations several people and many computers
coexist in the same physical and social space. Computing is increasingly situated, shared and continuous,
rather than isolated.
At the same time, software built around personal computing makes it
cumbersome to actually use this abundance of devices and computers
together, or to let them meaningfully participate in the space and
situation we are physically inside in an infrastructural level.
What I am interested in is this question:
what would it look like if we built a programming language that provides a
single, shared and persistent environment across multiple peers?
Therefore this is an attempt to build such an environment as an infrastructure, and
to use it as a foundation for experimenting with different ways of
building, sharing and coordinating software in multi-device and social
settings.

💬 guitarvydas: do we need a new programming language for the AI era?
AI can now port code between programming languages with surprising accuracy. This capability raises an intriguing question: should we create new languages specifically designed for directing AI?
do we need a new programming language for the AI era?
