One thought is that somewhere I'd need to translate the LISP objects into JS ones before putting them in the DOM. I think I would have to do this both before sending the JSON and after receiving it at the browser. I came across Sibilan

all right. thank you for sharing the resources and information. I am not invested in this topic, although I should be. In fact, some of the information you shared is valuable to my personal life. I have a problem with oversimplification of

you are being restricted by - I am making assumptions here - a lack of creativity and a desire to be sarcastic. We may also differ in our interpretation of what "engineering" is. There are numerous jobs already in existence that a

I did a bunch of stuff with pandas, 2 or three functions from numpy, and used a virtualbox to get an .exe out of my python file - using, I think it was pyinstaller. outside of that I wrote 5-10 commands of DOS as a kid, then a bunch of year

hah ok. i’m not a coder nor a hacker, so i can’t say i’ve tried much. some of us really never grow out of our smart-mouthed phase. i especially find a lot of babies in places like reddit, stack exchange, and a few more.
