I think you misinterpreted my statement here. The future profit I'm talking about is the profit of the creditor (or investor). That being said, I completely disagree with this part: > Creditors are not people who made bets on the co

Also fair, I used the wrong word there. Though, I don't think the distinction really matters within the context of my point. Both investors and creditors are exchanging money for a bet on future profit derived from the company being so

As someone who works on a legacy scala codebase, Scala's an easy language to get into this situation with. Scala's flexible enough that the old lisp pitfalls apply (though not nearly to the extent of lisp). That is to say, learnin

Ahh, I see. I think I can see the value in tracking kept by a person for themselves to troubleshoot things in the future. But I can't imagine that's the kind of tracking greatpostman had in mind, and it's definitely not the k

Can I ask how people found it a year later? Everything always ends up on a confluence dumping ground, and I have trouble finding pages I wrote after any sort of significant period of time, much less finding things other people wrote.

I mean, I'd be down to try. Best I've seen so far (outside of lisp) is elixir, but it really bogs down the entire thing by requiring a bunch of extra information and metadata that common lisp can infer by position and an extra lay

Plenty of successors to lisp have tried that. They gunk up the whole experience.
