@valigo Ever think about why they're so famous?

@valigo "Whoever came up with the idea of Hanlon's Razor must have been a fed"

@valigo This is how the EU implements digital sovereignty?

@MikeWithAHotDog @htmx_org Let's see what Guy Steele had to say on the design of Java and the JVM:
"We were not out to win over the Lisp programmers; we were after the C++ programmers. We managed to drag a lot of them about halfway to Lisp."
Trust the plan

@pmarca You'll see less resistance to art deco data centers

@valigo In the end everything is just bytes somewhere and they have no type, they don't judge :)
Neat thing about pre-Scheme is you still get all the meta programming capabilities of Scheme, comptime eval, but emit C with no runtime.
And you can emulate it as a library to debug, why not

@ryrobes Forgot to say DON'T CHEAT

@runarorama Is the stone supposed to scream?

[Ben Sless @_bsless]

@htmx_org Also, why wouldn't you review compiler output?

@Jonathan_Blow @icpolicy @etscrivner Just give me a region of memory I can share between processes

Am I doing it right?

Name one thing you wish AI could do that it can't yet

@htmx_org @TheGingerBill And assembly is an interpreted language

[Ben Sless @_bsless]

@lemire Or all those functions are making the same mistakes that confuse beginners - mutability and arbitrary syntax and parsing rules. Are they relevant for beginners learning to think algorithmically?
I'd be interested to see how languages like Scheme or the ML family compare.

@tsoding Reminds me of the period at work we used to prank colleagues who left their computers unlocked.
I forgot my computer unlocked with dwm and found them leaning extremely puzzled over it.

@Jonathan_Blow @bztree You could do that with the Clojure port of SICM + the Clerk notebook system, it's like jupyter notebooks but good. Then just like you wanted have a slider for a value plugged into an equation and see the rendered stuff change.
