mine is a new IDE that's part of the Coalton project, but is meant to be used for Common Lisp as well: https://coalton-lang.github.io/mine/ I have not tried it, I'm an Emacs nerd.

Oh yeah, way more fun :) I just kinda saw CL in the Clojure and was trying to make it look like that.

For me, the most effective way to read Lisp is to essentially forget the parentheses (I shadow them out in matching, low contrast colors) and go almost entirely by indentation. I f…

CL also has pretty much arbitrarily extensible syntax: - https://sr.ht/~dieggsy/whisper/ - https://dieggsy.com/json-literals.html And could also be used to build languages, support…

I use emacs --daemon with emacsclient for this. I always have a running emacs instance, and connect with the client. Opening and quitting a client is near instant.

Ha! I was going to disagree, but then I realized I force most monospace html entities to use a specific font in my browser (using a wildcard stylus stylesheet). This is quite nice …

Not sure if humor, but this is meant to make a distinction with a non-human readable compilation target , many of which aren't, even when using high level languages.

Just resubmit it, you'll probably get a new link. I get something different every time.

I love Wikipedia and think it's one of the greatest resources on the Internet, but there's absolutely a lot of bias in Wikipedia. Even within the same language, I think a lot of it…

This is fun. Is it not checking for previously submitted URLs though? I can seemingly re-submit the exact same URL and get a new link every time. I would expect this to fill the da…

Agreed. Because of this (and regardless), archive everything: https://web.archive.org/web/20260114140733/https://www.spark...

The top comment in the article mentions it, but chawan[1] is really quite neat. Many sites are still have their quirks (or may be broken), but I think it's the closest I've seen a …

I love CHICKEN Scheme! Nice to see it mentioned. Though I think it's worth pointing out it compiles to something pretty far from handwritten C, to my understanding. I think this is…

Seriously. I do think people should spend enough time with bash or posix sh to be comfortable with it, but I'd recommend everyone at least just try fish. It's a lovely interactive …

I think I mostly agree with the thesis here, but I actually liked the point in the title at face value, too. We need both, I think. I guess I'll be another annoying Lisp guy, but: …

Gmail is a product, but the comment wasn't saying "Gmail the product deserves to be shamed... ", more like "the Gmail team/devs/company deserves to be shamed...", which is why the …

It's quite common in UK English (and maybe others, I don't know), to refer to "singular" or collective non-people entities (such as companies, I know Gmail itself isn't one) using …

I think you're not wrong, but it's not necessarily a problem? I might argue that's actually part of the main point the article is making. The software is already written in C, well…

I think I meant the same thing, but you said it much more clearly, thanks!

I'm not sure I'd say this is "the other way around"; Coalton strives to implement Haskell or ML-adjacent semantics (in the type system, for example) with Lisp syntax. "With" here m…

It seems okay to me to be upset with the system and also point out the specific wrongs of companies in the right context. I actually think that's probably most effective. The perso…

I found this, which looks like it's for an earlier version: https://tigerbeetle.com/blog/2023-07-11-we-put-a-distributed... My eyes kind of glaze over as I read this but maybe it w…

Are you by chance a Common Lisp developer? If not, you may like it (well, judging only by your praise of stability). Completely sidestepping any debate about the language design, e…
