It's awesome and the lucky 10,000 deserve to be introduced to it?
- mikestorrent 8mo agoA well known quantum computing company's entire stack runs on SBCL, with Emacs in production... works really well, don't knock it until you've tried it. Phenomenal REPL.
- iainctduncan 8mo agoWould this be the same place that Coalton came out of? (just curious)
- mikestorrent 8mo agoDon't think so, no, hadn't heard of that.
- jibal 8mo agoIf you're referring to HRL then I think so.
- pkhuong 8mo agoAt least two "quantum" computing places built on SBCL.
- reikonomusha 8mo agoThree (in part or full; presently or recently historically): DWave, Rigetti, HRL
- tmtvl 8mo agoI love SBCL because it's awesome, and I hate it because it's ruined programming for me. Going back to dead languages like Java is so painful now.
- jibal 8mo agoMore than 10,000 people already knowledgeable about SBCL and its awesomeness could simply splat the URL to HN, but I think readers here deserve more.
- christophilus 8mo agohttps://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
- jibal 8mo agoUm, yes, I know ... read the thread.
- purerandomness 8mo agoI think you misunderstand what the XKCD comic implies.
- jibal 8mo agoI'm well aware of what the comic implies (and explicitly says--note that both the comic and the tooltip are about demonstrating and explaining, not just going "diet coke and mentos" and then dinging people for not understanding what that implies), but I can't mind read the intent of the person who posted it and what they intend to tell me by doing so. My original complaint here was about just posting a link without commentary, and the same applies to the XKCD comic link ... and even to your own comment, which is pure ad hominem. I suspect, but can't know, that people misunderstood my use of "10,000"--the XKCD meaning was used above by tmtvl, which is why I said to read the thread because it's not clear that people were aware of that oblique reference to the XKCD panel--my use of it was a riff, using the same number in a different, even opposite, way ... it's a rhetorical device (derived from a musical one). I won't comment further.
