Rest in peace, brave Ferdinand. A teacher of resilience, a master of tricks, and a loyal friend to all.

New Emacs extension: Mindstream.

It offers lightweight, stream-of-consciousness versioning for any writing task, from code to blog posts. It removes the hurdles to starting and the anxiety of losing work. Give it a try!

A great blog post covering a subtle yet significant technical challenge in #langdev: balancing variable bindings and their logical dependencies. A thoughtful read for anyone interested in #qi #racket #lisp #plt @racketlang

# Announcing Qi 5: Flowing with Lists

Qi is an embeddable language for easily expressing flow-oriented computations in your programs. And now, you can use it seamlessly with list operations.

Learn about the release at https://t.co/5Mke8zTjTJ

@ShriramKMurthi I especially love the symmetry between the parsing steps and the Chomsky hierarchy. It makes the bicameral approach seem not just useful, but natural!

[Sid Kasivajhula (mastodon.social/@countvajhula) @CountVajhula]

As far as I am concerned, the definitive article on the subject.

[Shriram Krishnamurthi (primary: Bluesky) @ShriramKMurthi]

Sometimes it takes me 22 years (+ one evening) to write a blog post. Here are my thoughts on "homoiconicity" and, as an alternative, "bicameral syntax". (Warning: 4000 words.)

What brilliant games PoP1, PoP2 and Karateka were. So beautifully designed. Many happy hours as kids @ponnappa @vikramk221 @CountVajhula.

Also gave us high standards to aspire to as we started coding.

Thank you @jmechner
