Turns out it was also cataracts
Lenses have been replaced, i can mostly see again
Got interested in programming languages amenable to text-to-speech, particularly two old ones called Smalltalk and Self (the Velvet Underground of the dynamic object-message paradigm, or something)
I want to write about learning and using them without bothering the Discords constantly so here we are, hi
Currently reading through my .. fifth? .. intro to Smalltalk thing recently [which is very silly because the syntax is pretty minimal] but am more interested in old Self papers https://bibliography.selflanguage.org/ many of Bret Victor's concerns are present
[fifth? = The Early History of Smalltalk, Smalltalk-80: the Language and its Implementation, Squeak by Example, Pharo by Example etc, now on The Cuis Book]
I'm likely to try writing my own very slow Self interpreter in just-walk-the-Tree-Sitter-parse-tree style using game engine ideas for garbage collection
