PG: "I am a fairly representative Lisp hacker"
I thought representative Lisp hackers liked long descriptive names over short cryptic ones? ;P
PS: I feel my karma's going to hell in 3, 2, 1...
edit: It wasn't a challenge. It wasn't "oh, I'll pretend to think my karma will go down to look like a cool rebel". Hope that clears things up.
- curi 19y agoI would have upmodded you, if you hadn't made the comment about your karma going down.
- paulgb 19y agoI wouldn't have upmodded you, if curi hadn't made the comment about not upmodding you.
- curi 19y ago+1: I see what you did there.
- yters 19y agoI commented because this seemed like an opportunity to say something funny and cleverly self referential, but I guess this'll get me modded down.
- Zak 19y agoIf you look at Arc's source, it certainly seems like PG prefers short names everywhere - it's more like what I've seen from Haskell people. I generally prefer medium-long names. Scheme's call-with-current-continuation is too long. Arc's ccc is too short. Ruby's callcc is just right.
