Niva is a Smalltalk-like language with static types:

Interesting!

Were you using IBM Visual Age Smalltalk?

This is cool! Thank you! I'm a fan of C# and dotnet. Nice that you used F#!

I've been messing around with a language that I summarize as:

ALOE = Scheme + Smalltalk + Types

https://github.com/dharmatech/2026-09-02-aloe-racket

Prototype is in Racket.

You mention there that you like Ruby and that you wanted Ruby with types (and that you looked at Crystal).

One of the examples is a very basic computer algebra simplifier:

That simplifier is based on a computer algebra library in Scheme:

Hey Ashton,

I see you're with PLT. :-)

Since Racket is built on Chez, you might like this. It's an Emacs-like editor built in Chez Scheme:

This sounds so cool! Do you have this shared somewhere?

Hey Aurornis,

I definitely haven't looked into the underlying models of histamine to see how things work.

My observation is that, when I avoid histamine related foods, I sleep longer and fall asleep faster. The naive model is what led me to try that. But I totally acknowledge that there's likely way more at play under the hood. And I would like to know more about why this works! Or, at least why it works for me.

Thank you for pointing out the complexity of the underlying mechanism.

Yes, magnesium has helped.

For me, avoiding high histamine foods as well as histamine liberators had helped tremendously.

The theory:

Anti-histamines like Benadryl make you sleepy by blocking histamine.

Well, instead of blocking the histamine, get rid of it in the first place by avoiding histamine foods (for example aged or preserved meats).

The interface is beautiful!

Just curious... Did you implement each app natively? I.e. Swift and Kotlin? Or were you able to use a cross platform framework like Flutter?
