maybe I should have said supposed to be human readable. I share your sentiment. I saw a comment on here once justifying that claim by saying something along the lines of "but if you look at the text and ignore the symbols you get the

I was keeping a close eye on Eve until it changed direction from programming for everyone to yet another lisp . Is there any writeup/discussion on why this happened? I do like learning about mind-expanding languages, and something r

You're right of course, I definitely do not want to do that. But I know I would vote individually on the issues that I care about. For example, if everybody had a say, SOPA wouldn't have gotten as far as it did. I would have vo

No. I've never voted, not once. I do not believe I live in a democracy, even though that's what we're calling it. I believe that by voting I'm validating a broken system. Who are all these people making calls about every
