You can try also https://gtoolkit.com/ The language is the same of Pharo, but the GUI is better, IMHO.

Glamorous Toolkit/Pharo are better than CL as IDE/GUI. It is more like a “video-game”, because the IDE is a first class citizen and you can customize it. For example you can notice if some classes are not passing some tests, because there are flags in the IDE.

As language I prefer CL, because metaprogramming (i.e. macro) are more explicit and clear respect Smallatalk approach.

In CL you have something like “(some-dsl-prefix …)” and all the things following the “(some-dsl-prefix …)” are clearly is the specified DSL. You can expand the macro, for seeing its semantic.

In Smalltalk you had to check the metaclass that created the object, but objects can be created in different point respect their usage, so good luck. Then you had to inspect if the behavior of some standard method is modified/customized. CL macro run at compile-time, while Smalltalk metaprogramming code run at run-time, using reflection, and customization of metaclasses.

A CL macro has a better view of the DSL code, because it can walk in it. I don’t remember how Smalltalk solves this.

I tried Smalltalk few years ago, so maybe I missed something.

This type of workflow is natively supported by https://github.com/facebook/sapling, https://github.com/jiju-git and https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless. Both these tools can interact with normal git repositories.

The idea is to divide commits between public commits that are untouchable and under-dev-commits that can be amended, split, merged, reorderdered, and so on. One can play freely with under-dev-commits, because every modification done on them is locally registered, and one can navigate in a tree of undo.

You must see that "in many cases of false accusation, there were two or more women against a man, [and they were lying]¹“ is also not proof of anything.

Yes I agree, but my original meaning is that there are many cases of false accusations with two or more false accusers. So saying that “many women reported …” is not per se a good enough convincing argument, without analyzing in details these reports and the context. I said this, because intuitively one believe that if there are two or more accusers, then something must be true. Obviously as you said, the contrary is not true: one accuser is not more believable than two or more.

What is your metric for “cases of false accusations”? Are we talking rape cases only?

Sexual abuse in case of famous/important person, where money is involved, and domestic violence in case of conflicting divorces. In Italy, an official document signed by judges, psychologist and other legal operators, informs the Senate that the false accuse (strictly false or exagerated, not simply “unprovable”) are presumably from 70% to 90% in case of conflicting divorces. This is the link to the document https://www.senato.it/documenti/repository/commissioni/comm02/documenti_acquisiti/957 FENBI - A.pdf

You prefaced your statement with “I would not like many of the women he frequents³”. Is your personal opinion of “the women her frequents” an indicator of whether or not he was capable of raping or trafficking them? Is it in any way relevant at all?

I don’t know the women he frequents, but it can be a suspicious context, because there are many rapist, but sometime there are also false accuses. So a proper trial must be done. I didn’t know the details, so after reading more, probably he is guilty. I wrote in general terms, because sometime there were cases against famous people like Johnny Depp or Woody Allen were the accusations were not true.

I agree on nearly all, and I admit of not being informed on the details. I disagree on this: I’m not accusing the women, because I’m in favor of a fair process against Andrew Tate, not against the women; the number of women against one man is not a proof, because despite the common sense, in many cases of false accusations, there were two or more women against a man, and they were lying.

I don’t like Andrew Tate, but probably I would not like also a lot of women he is frequenting. There are possibilities that they are blackmailers and not victims. So, I hope that Andrew Tate will be convicted on the base of proved facts, and not because he was not able to disprove the words of his accusers. “Proving innocence” can be an hard things to do, if you are considered guilty until proven innocent.

I agree. F# has also type providers (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tutorials/type-providers/) that are a form of type-inference on steroids, for assigning types to external resources.

IMHO, whenever possible it is better using static typing, but there are real world problems where the nature of data is extremely dynamic, or the types are very complex. In these cases a naive but rigid static type system can be a problem. So in these cases it is better or a relaxed static type system where some constraints can be checked at run-time (i.e. like a dynamic type-system), or a very powerful static type system. In a certain sense, Common Lisp and Racket are examples of the first case, because you can add type annotations to code, so they are both dynamically and statically typed language.

This is its main web site https://nanopass.org/index.html

Nanopass is a good approach for writing sophisticated compilers, because one can compose many analysis and transformation pass on the AST. For example, Chez Scheme compiler has an extremely good ratio between lines of code and features. It is one of the fastest Scheme compiler, and Scheme is a language difficult to optimize.
