These are a blast. I went through a phase in highschool where I exclusively played 90's CRPGs. There are some real gems that find a unique playstyle with tons of freedom due to how low fidelity the games are, while…

I would add one thing that makes GT very different from other tools and is very hard to recreate, is that these tools are ACTUAL objects and the things you see, are also ACTUAl objects, and not just a dummy…
The example of electric is really good. It's something that would require bonkers amounts of effort to implement in ts/js, but instead 15 contributors could build in clojurescript. And I think the core thing that makes…
But do you really think the runtime probe is less effective in an environment where you have a good way of interacting with the program at runtime? Or is it just bad tools tainting the experience? Because I find that in…
I'm curious if these problems are more about flexibility. Because I find with any well designed and flexible program in a statically typed language, you end up with the same "tube of something" as you have in your…
