Did somebody say the Fastest Fourier Fransform in the West [1]? I love this kind of stuff, but the barrier to entry just seems so huge. https://ocaml.org/learn/success.html#FFTW

Not OP but here are some of mine: - Universal package manager (replaces pip, cabal, npm, etc.) - Declarative OS-config which makes deploys on new devices and servers a breeze - Scheme declaration language (I prefer it to Nix-lang) - Bootstr

Another huge plus for source based package managers not elaborated in this article is how easy transformations are [1], so you can rebuild your software with different compilers, dependency versions, source branches, etc. from often a singl

I'm running Guix on Void, but I think Guix on Debian (experimental) is better supported [1] and what I plan to switch to eventually. [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg002..

It seems that these sort of devices are for sensors not generators. Higher QE leads to higher sensitivity according to the article. I would imagine that manufacturing costs would prevent any interest in making solar cells out of such device

I don't think multiple exciton generation (which is what you find searching for EQE > 100%) is exactly the same as the photoelectric effect. However, your point more or less stands.

I'm quite an amateur schemer and have never used Racket, but Christopher Webber's talk [1] gives me the opposite impression and that Racket diverged from the "live system" culture. In my experience Guile is usually prett

Funny enough, if you rewrite all of Emacs in Elisp that would superficially seem to make Guile Emacs easier to implement. I wouldn't be surprised if by that time Guile had native compilation and an even better Elisp implementation. Iro

As a user of both Guile and Emacs this project has always intrigued me, but I think people arguing for speed, multitasking, or configuring Emacs in Scheme or Javascript are missing the point. Guile Emacs represents an ideal where GNU proje

Geiser+Guile does work quite fine under Linux for me. Speaking of Scheme and Slime, I have heard of Swank which is for using MIT, Ikarus, Larceny, and Kawa Schemes in Slime.

One cool thing I'm doing with Guile Elisp is writing code that can be called by both Guix and Emacs to deal with the packages required by my Guix and Emacs configurations. Mind you it isn't much code, but it's really fun and

I suggest either using Nonguix [1], or installing Guix on top of Debian or any other binary distribution if the free software part or small ecosystem is going to prevent you from trying a very great piece of software. [1] https://
