Welp. This is the point I checkout. You do you, but I have to ask. Do you have any production experience[1] and/or hiring experience? Because you have a very fundamental misunderst…

You are just deflecting now. You made the claim that somehow macros would have made the python 2 to 3 migration easy. You are yet to demonstrate which of the migration issues would…

A language with large standard library and tooling is awesome. But Racket still falls short on api wrappers for tools(message queues, zero mq, templates...) and services(payment ga…

I share this sentiment. I dump almost daily photos on whatsapp statuses. I won't do it on insta or fb(except on their analogous stories/status feature). I like posting updates but …
