Not a lisp apologist haha, but I think Clojure tries to use fewer smooth parens “()” in general. Square parens “[]” and curly parens “{}” are used to help with things like variable…

I wonder if building a custom language is a simpler way to optimize stuff later on? For example, Unity uses C# but then you need either all of Mono at runtime or something like IL2…

For a moment I thought this was my fault because I had just asked for a free academic license, and somehow that would be the final straw :( I was very excited to start reading the …

Awesome resources! On a side note have you tried the Rescript [0] or Reason [1] programming languages? They both are based on OCaml and compile to JavaScript. [0] https://rescript-…

Yeah these are good points. I guess we could also add AI to the list (AI before ML), since it also has use of calculus I think. I’m now wondering whether to consider both of these …

I’m in the same boat, I’m learning game engines and so many libraries are in C++. It feels impossible to use Rust or Zig, but I have hope I can use Nim. It can compile to C++ and h…

Not sure how to exactly to build a "generator" either, but it seems that it would be a build rule that generates multiple outputs from multiple inputs right? If that's the case the…

Please someone mention Tup and how it can be a reasonable build system. I’ve heard the Fuse dependency is not ideal, though I felt it had a nice UX experience with the Lua config. …

I think they meant his psychological analysis of Disney movies that are on YouTube. Not JP’s political lectures or etc.

Honestly, don’t really know much or care much about Svelte for my own use. But hearing that someone is going to be sponsored to work on their invention full-time is wonderful. Glad…

I really enjoy this style of humor. Especially when mocking micro benchmark culture and all of the weirdness that happens in those measurements. And fwiw it definitely seems good t…
