Bot Libre’s scripting language, Self, has a feature known as a symbol. Symbols are identified as words preceded by a hash tag, e.g. #word, #number, etc. Bot Libre’s documentation speaks about them but never gives a straight answer as to their precise nature. Communication with Bot Libre support has produced contradictory answers as to the nature of symbols. While Self is said to be an extension of Javascript, support says that symbols in Self are not the same as symbols in Javascript.
Does anyone know what a symbol in the Self scripting language is?
