@djspiewak @darinmorrison right I saw those. So you misstated the core of your objection, but you are still right but nobody knows what.
-
@dibblego@darinmorrison My position is that the runtime which gives meaning to a program is part of the program.
@djspiewak @darinmorrison I can see how you might think this is true but it cannot make sense no matter how I look at it.

-
@dibblego@darinmorrison It’s a line of thinking that I believe is worth pursuing, because it leads to ideas about pure “regions”. -
@djspiewak@darinmorrison wait a minute. It is precisely realising you have a useless definition that leads to regions.

@dibblego@darinmorrison So we draw these boundaries and say that the whole package can be isolated and then intermediated by a region.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@dibblego@darinmorrison The thought that this leads to is the mediating region can be drawn arbitrarily far.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@dibblego@darinmorrison Why just the runtime? Is not the kernel part of the environment? The CPU? The building?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@dibblego@darinmorrison These definitional games don’t lead anywhere helpful that I can see beyond runtime, but it’s interesting.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@dibblego@darinmorrison Drawing the line at runtime is very interesting when thinking about things from a language design perspective. -
@djspiewak@darinmorrison so I can point to anything and say "that is a program" and this is useful? - Show replies
