What must I do to make you remove that little green dot, Element? I've scrolled through all 41 replies in the thread… I've clicked on most of them… What... Must... I... DO?!?

A number of us on the Chapel project have been enjoying our interactions on BlueSky these past few months, so we have kicked off a new @chapellanguage.bsky.social account to reflect that. Follow the project there, and thanks to all who make BlueSky a great forum for #HPC conversations!

ICYMI in the run-up to SC24, be sure to give Chapel’s fall newsletter a look. In editing it, Engin's been doing a great job of pulling together information about recent demos, tutorials, talks, and recordings; our new Discord server; upcoming events; and more! chapel.discourse.group/t/chapel-new...

Jeremiah Corrado has been porting key steps of the @labarba.bsky.social group's Navier-Stokes series into Chapel. This week, he published his final article in the series. It's a fun read for those interested in stencil-style HPC computations and MPI alternatives. chapel-lang.org/blog/series/...
