TOPLAP

With the current lack of admin/moderation time, and increasing strain from LLMs etc, the following TOPLAP services will be sunset and shut down by April 2027:

*edit* a nice fresh admin team has formed, so the services will keep running :)

The looong list of awesome live coding stuff has now moved to codeberg:

The "live code earth" telegram group is being decommissioned, but there is now a 'live code decentral' signal group:

Apologies for the problems with images on this server, we're looking into it but it's pretty mysterious..

social.toplap.org is now on mainline mastodon, so there is no local-only posting any more (we were on glitch mastodon, which allowed you to make posts only visible by other social.toplap.org users). It seems no-one was using this so hopefully that isn't a problem!

A PR to the English language algorave example code of conduct, to add immigration status, national origin and class:
