In CL and Scheme, it's (let ((var1 val) (var2 val)) body...). So parentheses are used for grouping and function/macro application. In Clojure, parens are just used for application,…

I have heard of Smalltalk and it is intriguing but honestly I don't even know how to get started with it lol

It's ok because I'm a hobbyist programmer!

I use Emacs's built-in structural editing bindings, which doesn't have the auto-move-past any kind of paren/bracket thing. Maybe I could add that in. But I was talking about like, …

This is very much what I meant in the post (hi, I'm the author :P)! CL has maps, but they're a pain to use - not just because of the syntax, but because of the relative dearth of s…

Oh I've written an SSG in multiple variations of lisp, as well as sh, make, and most other languages I toy around with. It's been a good "kick the tires" project but I think I need…

HAHAHAH Hell yeah that's praxis baby die mad about it

> What works best for me is no modal editing at all. I used vim for 8 years and after switching to Emacs, realized that I'm the same. I was spending way more time (in vim) thinking…

could you share the code for that? thinking I could set up a fail2ban rule for these ips

seriously, study after study shows that just giving people money is the most effective form of altruism. just give it away. go to your city's homeless shelter and give money away. …

I remember reading long ago that the average person changes careers 6 times. So that means that half of everyone changes more than 6 times.

honestly I'm so sick of this attitude. it's the same as the recycling push...when like a dozen companies are creating the vast majority of pollution, there's not a lot us little pe…

$ cat ai.txt no $

so Lisp is actually not a pure language, like, at all. Emacs is often written about as a big hairy ball of state and Lisp itself can be as imperative or statefule as you want. So w…

I agree, and I've seen more "blogs" on GitHub lately. it's very annoying.

I really wish people would stop writing blogs in naked GitHub repos.

I humbly submit either bash, sh, or zsh --- they all put dotfiles in $HOME that you can't move (zsh technically /can/, but they're still dotfiles and you have to set them in ~/.zsh…

God no LMAO

Pretty much all of my Emacs packages are scratching my own itch. Most of them are at codeberg: https://codeberg.org/acdw

Just hopping in to say : it's laughable to claim that open source projects have "hard-coded" anything. It's literally impossible to hard code things when anyone can download the so…

thank you!

okay ya got me! i've read one posthumous book by bukowski and heard that one modest mouse song ... i should obviously read more because the random pick you gave is, indeed, pretty …

I'm writing an ed clone in scheme. I hope to have autoindentation since that's about the only thing I miss with ed.
