I switched from (Chicken) Scheme to Common Lisp (and, in parallel, from Python to Lua), and, having read a lot of old code of yours, I'm curious about your choices - you seem consistently sensible and pragmatic. (Sorry to put you on the spot.)
- abecedarius 16y agoThanks! Partly Python's gotten more tolerable as a language, partly I'm doing more things needing libraries, partly I mostly code inside https://github.com/darius/halp https://github.com/darius/halp these days and it doesn't have a Scheme mode so far. I do have a couple of recent Scheme projects up on github though -- optilamb and selfcentered. Very impressed with LuaJIT2, btw -- I'd like to do more with it.
