Ever wonder what real-world Cells looks like?
http://www.theoryyalgebra.com/
...only for Windows at this point, but based on Cello which runs
everywhere so just a matter or priorities. As the page says, intro guide
inside zip.
Learned quite a few Deep Lessons when I got lazy and went "procedural"
with a lot of SETFing in observers. Maybe not lazy, we never want to be
slave to a paradigm. Anyway, I sure climbed that learning curve and it
is a funny one when one tries to do a few SETFs (to other Cells) in an
observer. Doable in the end and predictable and understandable once one
knows The Way(tm), but till then... ugh.
I might also see Cells/4 from where I am standing. It would start by
making the Procedural Cells (Procells?) easier, and unrelatedly solve a
referential integrity problem I keep running into, where the instance
owning a Cell I am using gets not-to-be'ed but I did not learn about the
instance (in that rule) by reading a kids slot so I have no clue that I
am depending on a dead cell. Until I run again. :)
Anyway, right now I am just trying to stave off bankruptcy so I can keep
doing open source (and eat) so I would be very appreciative to anyone
who could check out the software at this early alpha stage so i can get
to beta and start pestering non-techie math people knowing the download
they encounter more or less works.
Just downloading and running and seeing if it works would help, btw.
Thx! kenny
