This is a short orientation to the language as it exists today.

It is not meant to be a complete tutorial. The syntax is still moving, names are still provisional, and some parts of the language are more mature than others. The goal here is only to make the examples in these notes easier to follow.

Values and primitive types

Seamless is statically typed, and the types are inferred. Values have types such as:

It was Ged's job to map the labyrinths. When a new one sprang up, he would gather his pencils and his yarn and set out. Most were simple, a single winding path, and Ged was needed only to let the people know how much time it would add

I come across tiara stories while hunting down tiaras on the web. Here I'm sharing the tales of a tiara made for a prized pet, the end result of a design competition and the story of a woman who wanted a tiara and ended up having one made for herself.

Gave a talk a while back about vm access. Mostly about common operations and how things can go wrong. This is a generic practice, so even if you're not on Azure it's still applicable.

A thought for people who think the US can't be fixed. I've seen very strange things happen, like all of a sudden people figure it out and boom next thing you know they're the NBA Champions. It wasn't exactly sudden, but the last leg of was. A gestalt. Now two leaders figure out how to lead. The thing about each of those people is determination, and a belief they were right, and they went right up to the edge and fought. I think the country would unite behind such a leader.

Robert has a lot of stuff up his sleeve for connecting bloggers around the smallweb. After an amazing Junited 2026, now it’s time for JulyReply 2026!

I really enjoyed participating in Junited. Thanks to that, I connected with a few bloggers, one of whom was Imperfect. Imperfect inspired me to write reply posts, but I was reluctant until now. What’s a better excuse than JulyReply to start doing it?

I’ll tag my posts with #JulyReply.

Thanks, Robert, for organizing this!

I showed the post above to Claude and that took our conversation off in a new direction. We had been experimenting with the Message Scanner from LBBS, an early version of Twitter I wrote in the early 80s. It's described in this story I wrote in 1988, a summary of what I did leading to the start of UserLand. 38 years later Claude said: "LBBS message scanner running on RSS."

BTW thinking of LBBS as an early version of Twitter is a contortion, but considering how history played out, accurate.

One of the cool things about having Claude Code is that as we develop this product, we have a near perfect chronology of every consideration and decision made along the way. I don't think that's ever been possible before. I would love to see how the people at Bell Labs put to...

We lay under the stars, which after all is the only place you can lie, and we talked about the only thing you can talk about. By the time we felt too cold to stay out, we had discovered that each of us had a different idea about what that

I'm not against using LLMs, but I'm not okay with using LLMs to write docs intended for humans. By that point the question will be "is this an actual intention" or "LLM had a go at it".

I've been meaning to write How to Work with Me page for a long time. I mean for the page to be a living document that gets updated over time. The main...

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

— Carl Sagan

That quote kept coming back to me because the deeper I pushed on the web-stack problem, the more the “reasonable” solution started to look like inventing the universe.

The component model always felt like the right direction for UI: local state, composition, data flowing into views, and interfaces described from application state instead of manually coordinated DOM updates.

This is an idle thought, but for once I guess I'll write it down. I'm working (slowly, it's a low-ish priority free time project) on a backend for luvsound which I'd like to eventually open source for other indies to use... the project so far is all go + sqlite. This has b...

BTW, I sometimes ask Claude "what do you think" and it often has an opinion.
