@shanecelis absolutely! That was the reason that I chose Rust over C/C++ for low-level code in private projects, and I've not regretted it a single day. Coming from #Smalltalk-80, it wasn't a piece of cake, but it's totally worth it.

We welcome to the fediverse @squeak Squeak/Smalltalk, an open source project that descends from the seminal work on Smalltalk at Xerox PARC in the 1970s and 1980s. Interlisp was born in the same PARC environment that originated these and other innovative technologies.

Huh. 🤔
So I've always SUCKED at Small Talk but .. BUT!
If You (Me) listen to the start of conversation and ask a few key questions.. people really will just talk on, and on, about themselves and relieve you of the burden of interaction - except for a few nods and affirmation noses.
Who knew*?
🤷🏾♀️ 😮💨
[*Now if I could just nail down the trick to ~ 'authentic' smiling when not happy~ I may have cracked this Being Human Thing.. ]

In last days I realized I hate #SmallTalk even more than I thought. It's like they ask you random questions about you - and expect standard "normie mainstream" answers. But well... I am grim grumpy loner, who is absolutely uninterested in most things most people care about or actively boycotts them, and I often have opposite priorities and different value system. I just cannot provide them answers they would like.
So they often double down and press, telling me how I am wrong, mansplaining my own life/future/goals to me, because I certainly "will/should change" and judge my lifestyle. I am too lazy, too invested in wrong things in wrong way, too bitter, cold or emotionally detached. Or they feel invited to ask series of more personal questions than I'd feel comfortable to answer, leaving me emotionally exhausted.Just. Leave. Me. Alone.

You walk into a room of strangers. Everyone’s talking in groups. Instead of freezing, do this.

Please welcome and follow @squeak! Squeak and @pharoproject are two very cool implementations of the Smalltalk programming language and they are both here on Mastodon now. Only Cuis is missing @juanvuletich 😉
I was lucky to, by chance, get into a programming class at @fernunihagen that taught OOP using Squeak and Pharo Smalltalk, and it was the coolest and most fun programming experience ever.

Someone should build a #smalltalk like system on top of #seL4; every object is its own protection domain. I.e., state encapsulation not as an aspirational promise, but as an enforced property.

Blog: Level Up Your Programming Game with a #Java book and #Smalltalk.
In 25 years, I'll look back at this blog and smile. Smalltalk-76 will be 75 years old. My book will be 26 years old. How we code may change, but our coding history will not. Write. Remember. 🙏

🥴 Ah yes, the riveting tale of Claude's ever-changing moral compass, as predictable as a weather vane in a #hurricane. 🌪️ Let us bask in the glow of corporate virtue-signaling while Claude tries to decode the profound mysteries of small talk. 🙄

I really enjoyed this interview with Kent Beck, in spite of its length. Kent was very generous with his time and advice when Hal Hildebrand and I did a #Smalltalk startup a million years ago. It's funny to hear him talk (~1:16:30) about writing SUnit, the Smalltalk framework that would later morph into #JUnit, and sending it over to Hal (“one of the smartest programmers I knew”) to take a look at. Hal is still writing great code today. The whole interview is worthwhile.

Amazing Smalltalk-76 demo. 1976!?! Same year as USA 200th anniversary. Where are we after USA 250th? Smart driven people given space and funding in the 1900s to propel humanity forward to galactic possibilities. Glad to have used commercialized Smalltalk in 1990s. 🙏
