    Bel was so much more work than you'd guess from looking at it. But this seemed a good sign. I can't stand wasting time, and if one can spend a lot of time on a project without feeling one is wasting it, the project should be proportionally promising.

        That is a purpose. People love to work for a purpose, therefore we all loved it I think

        How much shorter are programs in Bel vs Arc? Arc is so short that it's hard to imagine it's 2x shorter. Any large applications written in Bel yet? I was hoping you had something like news.arc to use as an implementation baseline.

        love the reduction to the four fundamental data types naive question: would there be a way to build streams from pairs (+ quotation)? or other ways to redefine and consolidate pairs with streams?

        thanks from sharing Bel you probably could produce a few books worth of interesting side-notes of decisions and a-ha moments from the journey I will study in more detail over the next days

        It’s too often great hackers succeed building a product then never return to the passion that beget their success. I often think about the crazy stuff @patrickc would be building these days as a dev. (I’m v glad he’s saving the planet! But). So thank you!
