lazyvar··on Some Smalltalk about Ruby Loops
I think this misses the point. `times` is "better" than `for` because it's declarative, reads like English, etc. Which of course are opinions, but the implementation details (messaging passing or not) are irrelevant.

Example: Swift and Kotlin can do `Int#times` and don't need message passing to get it done.

lazyvar··on Show HN: Plain Text Cryptocurrency Prices
Some small feedback if I may: Could you separate the link and the text on the main page? My first thought was: "This isn't text. I can't highlight or copy anything. It's actually the opposite of what the title says." But everything was as advertised when viewing an actual coin.

Cool site! Cheers!
