Regarding the icon ...
Thank you, replacing the icon worked fine (a case of omg, how did I not think of that myself?), and can be easily automated with a short cmd file - problem solved!
I may be hopelessly romantic, but I think there'll always be demand for languages that human programmers can write in, and if it's only for the pleasure of doing it. And it may be easier to write some things yourself, than to explain to an AI what exactly you want to have done? (Btw, might not AI tend towards directly generating machine code, instead of being burdened with human desire to understand what it writes?)
Locating bugs ... Though I only remember it vaguely after 30 years, I still mourn the loss of MS Basic PDS (not Visual Basic!), which in the mid-90s had a console IDE that combined editor, interpreter, debugger and compiler, let you set stop points and triggers to halt execution, let you continue executing line by line, let you continue from any line in the code, and let you not only observe the values of whichever variables you were interested in, but also change them. Now, to have that for Phix ... Ok, just dreaming. :)
