Admittedly I haven't paid any attention to xavvi and don't intend to do so, so thanks for that interesting viewpoint.
Is that video archived somewhere publicly accessible?

Re: empty and the number 0
Actually nothing is defined in LC10. And has an entry in the dictionary.
put nothing is empty -- true
put nothing is 0 -- true
The nothing value behaves like empty when used in string context, and like
zero when used in number context.

Re: Emulating Apple IIgs
When I was at Apple I swore I was never going to work on the IIgs... and then I got assigned to the IIgs Project Toucan. So it goes. Still have the tshirt. My favorite thing about the IIgs was the fact that there was a spurious NMI (non-maskable interrupt) that would occur for no apparent reason. An...

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building
I actually dislike the term Artificial Intelligence because I think it implies an unhealthy anthropomorphism. Machine Learning and Deep Learning, the more specific terms for the way the algorithms function do as well, but to a lesser degree. I also am struggling with the "Great Leap Forward", but fo...

Surely you can have an AI read the books for you and give you a one-sentence synopsis.

Re: message box covered with objects of some kind
OK - does your backscript have a closeStack handler? closeCard?
Are there unclosed "put" statements? i.e.
rather than
?
Are you changing the defaultStack in the backscript?

Yeah... I've been all over the engine source and the IDE scripts grepping for it. Nada.

Re: message box covered with objects of some kind
Ah, the dreaded "something" dialog. That's been around for some 20 years with no one any the wiser as to its source. As to your message box, try renaming the LC preference file, then launch LC. It will create a new preferences file for you and that way you can still save the old one in case that's t...

Re: Using expressions with "<" and ">"
Well, I can verify that code hasn't changed since at least as far back as v 7.0.4.
I'm guessing it's just always been that way.
