@Ngnghm I actually had low “bootstrap your os” Forth. Covers a broad range compared to other langs Factor included, lives everywhere even constrained envs. Build tools on top e.g. track n reason about stack. Formal methods to verify on the side

Heute vor 85 Jahren begann mit dem Überfall Hitler-Deutschlands der Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion. Dem Vernichtungsfeldzug der Nazis fielen auf dem Gebiet der damaligen Sowjetunion 27 Millionen Menschen zum Opfer, die Mehrheit von ihnen Russen. Es ist ein Skandal, dass dieser Tag in Deutschland mehr und mehr aus dem öffentlichen Gedenken getilgt wird. Diese unwürdige Erinnerungspolitik passt leider zu dem neuen deutschen Zeitgeist, der uns mental auf den nächsten Krieg mit Russland vorbereiten will. Es ist völlig geschichtsvergessen und brandgefährlich, dass heute wieder mit deutschen Waffen, deutscher Technologie und deutschem Geld Ziele tief in Russland angegriffen und russische Zivilisten getötet werden. Der 22. Juni sollte eine Mahnung sein, dass sich so etwas nicht wiederholen darf. Doch wer den Krieg mit deutschen Waffen nach Russland trägt, wird den Krieg irgendwann auch nach Deutschland tragen. Die Bundesregierung muss dringend auf Diplomatie statt auf Eskalation setzen und alles dafür tun, um zu verhindern, dass es noch einmal zu einer Katastrophe kommt, die im Atomzeitalter ganz Deutschland auslöschen könnte. Nie wieder Krieg!

TCO who even gives a damn? How often do ext devs get to write recursive anything let alone force it to be in tail position? Global ns turned out a win imo but u don’t get to leverage all the modularity papers CS profs love to write - who cares? Show me a single el package that defaults to dynamic scope. Single threading is regrettable until u remember you can IPC is a thing and u can bear children and even have dedicated buffer to carry state etc. there are thing to criticize about emacs but the statement as written is … random.

“computing arts” - what lovely term! Stealing it

[💻🐴Ngnghm @Ngnghm]

@tomaspetricek Just like mass market cheapened music and graphical arts, made them overall more vulgar and unrefined (with many exceptions, happily)—it cheapened the computing arts, making them overall more vulgar and less refined. With many exceptions, for the happy few. Enjoy!

@stylewarning @JustDeezGuy Is there any Getting Real (TM) for Lisp in the age of cough AI? What does it look like?

A crucial "no Lisp" followup

['(Robert Smith) @stylewarning]

@JustDeezGuy Sometimes I want to write about my own evolution of understanding of Lisp's social sphere. I was at first amazed and awestruck by what Lisp and Lispers (of yore) had to offer.

But my feelings slowly changed when I saw the same people keep talking about the same things: ...

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

I think more lispers should read this thread!

@stylewarning you absolutely must write more about your lisp journey. This thread is a start and already pulls the curtain a bit. Selfishly I'd also want you to muse about Lisp in the world where codex / claude et al reign supreme

['(Robert Smith) @stylewarning]

@JustDeezGuy (Saying this as a Lisp lover:) Some Lispers also just leaned into the whole "enlightenment" thing a little too hard and feel they saw something no one else did. (That may actually be true, but whatever it is they saw isn't typically leading them to writing better programs.)

@fare Fun fact from childhood. “Tall man …” was a crowds favorite in the USSR. Generally true of the French cinema of the time

@stylewarning @nmartyanoff @stylewarning I think GPT expanded on your outline nicely, question is how accurate it is :)

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@stylewarning @nmartyanoff I'm not at all familiar with SBCL internals and accommodations when it comes to systems staff, so I cheated:
https://t.co/nUU4hkt0Kj
Most of it makes sense to me, except maybe arenas. I mean I understand from the C perspective but exactly what one does in CL escapes me.

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@stylewarning @nmartyanoff also of note there's a cool series by Kaveh on Kons 9 and graphics dev in CL: https://t.co/C7kpv8dDfX
I don't recall him ever diving into these depths but he did use CL without any issue I believe. Thought tbf I don't think Kons 9 ever came out, sigh

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@stylewarning @nmartyanoff Any do this, don’t do that observations? Sprinkle type annotations is probably one. But you specifically point to “architecture”

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@laurencetratt Ghostty automation imo is only just planned and not there. Kitty is likely your best option atm. WezTerm may also fit cause Lua but events n hooks limited. Too many bells n whistles for my taste. FYI Kitty won’t run as gui inside a VM e.g. running MacOS - known issue.

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@locallycompact @msimoni You? Nothing. You are not ready.

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@msimoni Intentional block or cross fire? I kinda expect more “academic” crowd to be less trigger happy unless dealing with spammers and bots.

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

well, I patched Emacs to support enough of the Kitty text sizing protocol that Kitty terminal now works. Doesn't solve ghostty but I don't really use it so 🤷‍♂️ Don't expect it get merged - chances of me assigning rights to FSF and persuading Emacs upstream are slim

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

forced to switch to WezTerm from Kitty because Emacs and Kitty can't agree about emoji widths .. bloody kill me now

btw @mitchellh the exactly same issue plagues ghostty
https://t.co/2G1FBGbDsb

Emacs peeps will be stubborn as always. WezTerm Alacritty work .. sigh

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@valigo @mitchellh Well I do and it is glorious :) unless you encounter an emoji muahahaha

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@valigo @mitchellh Tell me you only program compiled languages without telling me. My dude do u even REPL? What about any number of other processes u need to run remotely? TRAMP is slow, sucks and for fs access only pretty much

[keep calm and git hooting @zeRusski]

@valigo @mitchellh Emacs is absolutely ripe for a decent frontend at this point. I dunno if RPC style a-la neovim is the answer but yeah something is needed
