Telescreen, Ampleforth, Hopscotch etc

[Gilad Bracha]

Hello,

I wanted to give an update. In recent weeks I've been working on the new version of Telescreen.

As a reminder, Telescreen is the presentation tool I use to show slides with live Neewspeak code in them. The original Telescreen was an Newspeak app that premiered in my talks at Smalltalks22 in Buenos Aires.  It managed a list of slides, each of which was an Ampleforth document. Since November of 22, I've used it on several occasions.

The new version of Telescreen is itself an Ampleforth document. This is conceptually cleaner, and illustrates how a full scale application can be a document. Each slide is still a document as well. 

The new Telescreen came out this past Tuesday at my keynote a LambdaConf. The talk will eventually be posted online.  

The Telescreen work forced me to address bugs in the underlying layers - Ampleforth, the IDE and Hopscotch. I'm not done yet, but things have improved. In particular, this work exposed some issues with the implementation of transclusion. For example, what happens when you include  a presentation within another.  

As another example of transclusion, Ampleforth is now hosting my blog (see https://blog.bracha.org).  Many, but not all, of the issues have resolved. When things are a bit more solid, I think we can transition the Newspeak website to Ampleforth as well.

Hi Gilad, I need to thank you for the LambdaConf mention. Scouring their youtube videos to find your talk (still not posted) has been quite a journey. An APL in Forth caught my eye as APL has been on my radar because of ShapeRank :)  Today the keynote dropped and is quite an eye opener.

Thanks again

Glad it was useful to you. Today I think they released the keynote on GPUs and graphics programming. They haven't release mine yet (they had 7 talks billed as keynotes - start and end of every day, plus one in the middle AFAICR). I missed a few good talks because there was too much going n, so I will try and catch up on them as well.
