    SourceForce currently down?

    I cannot access it. IsUp.Me seems to agree: http://isup.me/sourceforge.net

    This is the exact reason why I keep telling myself to slow down all the time, using pen and paper, drafting the problems and solutions before getting my hands dirty, writing them d…

    And what does it have anything to do with C++ compared to any other language X? The bare-metal characteristics could be created as a subset of any non-safe non-garbage-collected la…

    I agree on the overhead. There are information available only at run-time that could be (and actually has been, in case of interpreter like PicoLisp) used to have better optimizati…

    That said, it's a about the implementation not the language itself. The phrase is technically incorrect, right? One could write a compiler that compiles Python or Ruby down to mach…

    You might want to combine Geiser with Quack[1] for best result with Scheme. Also, I think it's worth a shot to have a look at the fairly new Racket-mode[2] written by Greg[3]. Geis…

    My bad, you're right. I didn't know the documentation section for macro was added recently. It looks pretty Common Lispy. Reader macro looks nice, still at its beginning stage thou…

    I've been following Hy for a while and it's sad that macros are still part of on-going discussions with no definite plan. It's one of the reason I prefer Scheme-inspired Lisps to C…

    How do you make sure the correctness of the implementations? Shouldn't there be tests?
