I wish every programming language website was like this. First thing you see is a short description the language, with an image on the side showing example code. Beneath that, a short example program that does something non-trivial. This is the way.

The whole "program is a model" part makes me think of Smalltalk's image-based system. I never really got used to programming this way myself, but I do think an image-based environment might check some of the author's boxes. With the right tooling, a Lisp might even be a decent choice.

As someone close with a two-spirit person, this is the most offensive and ignorant thing i’ve seen on this topic by far.

oh hey everyone, author here, ssheven is still beta quality, so I wasn't really posting about it anywhere yet, but it's usable and has the core functionality working ok
I plan to do a writeup about it, and the experience of developing for old macs, once I finish the 1.0 release
edit: btw, this is my first project for the classic Mac OS, I hope to inspire others to also jump in, retro68 is a very usable toolchain (big thanks to Wolfgang Thaller/autc04)
This is so cool. I've been wanting to pick up an older mac for the sole purpose of doing some programming on classic MacOS myself. I actually have a Macintosh SE, but it's a bit too underpowered for my tastes. Anyway, I was hoping you might be willing to share what your development environment looks like. Language, editor, etc. Thanks!
Edit: I think I started to reply before your edit. Retro68 sounds amazing!

Why the heck is ed on the list? It’s probably included in every *nix distro ever made. After all it is THE standard editor. :)
I was just wondering the same thing. Like, I get that ed isn't exactly a household name when it comes to software generally, but in the very specific world of terminal emulators it's practically royalty.

Took heavy inspiration from dwm, bluewm, tinywm, lainwm and the likes to create what I would consider a minimally viable window manager solution. The project is C99 POSIX and MISRA compliant, which promotes portability, security and safety of the source.
I would say the target audience are those that spend most of their time staring at a single terminal and periodically need to jump into a GUI based application (e.g. web browser). There are many projects like this, but I am hoping to improve on previous ones by reducing the overall complexity (per the KISS principle) and improve upon documentation.
I am still developing my C programming skills, so all feedback is welcomed. =)
Enjoy!
Love the simplicity, and it looks like this could serve as a great example for people wanting to write their own WM.
Might I suggest adding a link to a screenshot directly in the README? I personally have a weird fascination with window managers so I'm likely to check this out regardless, but a screenshot could go a long way in terms of generating interest. If you care about that sort of thing. :)
I see you have a minimalist IRC client as well. Funny, I've been meaning to get back into C specifically to toy around with the idea of writing my own WM and IRC client. Both projects look like great examples, thanks for sharing!

This, paired with their Pointers and Memory [1] guide are how I learned C in college. They're both pretty short and to the point, I would highly recommend.
These two sentences, I think, best summarize the article's position on the topic:
> Instead of taking the summer to hone arguments against returning to the classroom, administrators and teachers should be thinking about how they can best support children and their families through a turbulent time. Schools are essential to the functioning of our society, and that makes teachers essential workers.
Yes, and many teachers think that the best way to support children and their families is to not put them in a position where they might die. Part of their "essential" function here is in advocating for the safest and most effective learning environment possible. Right now that seems to be attending lessons remotely until it's safe to go back to schools.
That the author thinks it's the duty of teachers to unnecessarily put children in harm's way as if there is no alternative is nothing short of bizarre and I'm disappointed to see it published by the Atlantic.
> ...to support children and their families...
What everyone responding to my comment seems to miss is that it's not necessarily about the children themselves dying (make no mistake, many children will die if crammed back into classrooms prematurely), but their parents and other family members who will die as the result of them becoming carriers and bringing the disease home with them.
