Maybe, but your link is about how increased hardware capacity has made life easier. Which is true, but not the same.

You're right, and quite quick to respond. I'll wait to post until I'm done editing next time. :)

What's your involvement with Self, PS? Brilliant language.

(Also, there is a LOT of good content on James Hague's blog. Highly recommended.)

I'm Self's general maintainer, facilitator, janitor etc. It's a great language but once Sun dumped it, it suffered a little from lack of tender loving care. But we're fixing that!

Salute!

Also: For people reading the codebase, any place you recommend starting?

The codebase for the C++ based VM is on Github. I find it scary :)

The actual Self code is best read inside Self: the Self code on Github is sort of human readable like html is sort of human readable: you can do it but it's easier to use a web browser.

There's a handbook/manual and a tutorial on the http://selflanguage.org site. I'd recommend starting with them.
