I made another easy language change, in v0.4.2b: For some contents X and Y, allow multiple lists in direct succession, like [X][Y], with the same result as [X Y].

Larger design changes are needed. I've experimented with labeling (variable assign) a list and then *label to insert duplicates of the list contents. But more is needed to make this work in inner scopes too. And it skips any update events to objects in the list, the first version/state of them only are what's duplicated.

New Blog Post. It is about my ISTE (international society of technology in education) RFP to present. I'd love it if people would look at my proposal and see if I have any mistakes. Also, I have a new friend. Alonso Martinez. He works at Google AI and is an artist. I recommended him to present a keynote at ISTE.

OMFG I am so confused by formulas, can anyone help?

I'm trying to create a formula that shows ⚠️ if the property "slots spent" is a bigger number than the property "recharge" and a ✨ if it isn't.

This is the formula I've got that isn't working, it tells me ") expected (char 40)".

if(prop("Slots spent")>"(prop("Recharge"))","⚠️","✨")

Another part of my fledgling series Unpacking Elixir. This time I try to unpack, discuss and exemplify the syntax of the language. Hope you enjoy :)

Another change coming up, merging '{...}' subparameters (currently only used for sweeps) into '[...]' lists, where they come first.

To make that work, modulator '[...]' lists when assigned, will be appended to the previous list, instead of replacing it. Unless a dash is written before the opening '[', for the old behavior.

I'm thinking of further expanding list features -- assigning them to variables, concatenation more generally, and insertion of objects from list variables.

Let's parse some .

[ "foo", "bar", ] : error, extra trailing comma.

Solution 1.
Generate proper Json syntax in the first place : [ "foo", "bar" ]

Solution 2.
Decide that Json lists should always end with a null item : [ "foo", "bar", "null"].

Update all your codebase accordingly:
1. Forget Python's `import json`
2. Use a homemade Cpp-wrapped lib that ignores the null item automagically.
3. In other cases, manually discard the null element.

Why. Oh why?
