Band practice today went fantastic. My collaborator paid me a huge compliment: One of our WIPs ends with a vamped passage for the outro (for the recording it’s supposed to fade out) and I decided to go a little nuts with the ride cymbal, snare, and toms. When we ended it, he had a grin and told me that he really loved what I was doing but he had to fight the urge to smile because doing so would make his earbuds fall out.

And I'm really happy to hear that!

I have written a guide to zeptoscript over the last few days or so and also implemented classes for non-"object" types to enable the implementation of words such as show ( value -- string ), for converting any value into a human-readable string; hash ( value -- hash ), for turning any value into a hash; and equal? ( value1 value0 -- equal? ), for testing the equality of any pair of values.

Oh, thank you very much! I wouldn't have thought anyone would like the book so much that they'd post about it in this thread of all places!
