I also got experience with the following (5 = a lot, 1 = a little) :

#machinelearning #ml (3) (I have implemented some ML models myself in the past, for learning purposes.)
#guix (3) (Using it for reproducible setups of projects.)
#functionalprogramming #fp (5) (Doing it in my own projects.)
#objectorientedprogramming #oop (4) (last job and past xp in my own projects.)
#CI / #CD (3) (Last job)
#make (4) (using it for my own project setups and convenience)
#testing (4) (last job, own projects)

Russian developer Yegor from yegor256.com uses a simple example of two similar approaches to modeling an action, and their implications from an object-oriented design and programming patterns perspective. One of the two approaches provides superior extensibility, data encapsulation, and more flexible error handling.

"remove(42) vs. find(42).remove()"

The LOOPS primer, published in 1987, captured well the essence of exploratory programming in Lisp:

The LOOPS interface provides both a programming tool and a thinking tool. As you develop a new system, each preliminary version provides an object for thought and discussion. The preliminary versions are a crucial part of the design process.

LOOPS (Lisp Object-Oriented Programming System) is the OOP extension of Interlisp.

Today I simply share and solve (hopefully!) The Art of the Metaobject Protocol exercise 1.1

(the softball generic classes #memoization exercise from chapter 1)

I just added a lexical closure of hash tables.

@simoninireland wrote about the art of the metaobject protocol in his #lisp bibliography a year ago. simondobson.org/2024/07/23/the

New Kitten Release 🥳

kitten.small-web.org

(Run `kitten update` to update your dev machines. Production machines will automatically update in a couple of hours.)

• You can now add a generic script block to your markdown pages (see mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114432417)

• Markdown pages can now be `KittenPage` instances and attach `KittenComponent` instances (so you get a full server-side component hierarchy with an event-based workflow; ideal for authenticated pages where you can be use only the author of the page will be accessing them and thus the additional memory and processing overhead are not issues. Isn’t the Small Web great? Only having instances of one makes it possible to optimise so many things for the human experience instead of vertical scale of the data farming machine.)

• Two new examples showcase the new features: codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br and codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br

• Attributes with object values are no longer serialised into the DOM (but your components’ render functions will continue to receive them, of course.) This is because only string values make sense for attributes in the context of the HTML DOM. (You can still, of course, have stringified representations of objects in attributes, as used by the `data` attribute to pass data from nodes to event handers on the server.)
