There are plenty of compelling reasons to use other languages. Macros, types, threads, interfaces, lambdas, tail calls etc. But what matters in this world is short term profit. Python is easy to get started with, has a ton of frameworks tha

I was confronted with recursion early on, but didn't really see the point outside of tree/graph traversals. It just didn't seem worth the effort given lousy performance and constant risk of stack overflow. Then I started writ

The truth is somewhere between Forth and Lisp if you ask me, I find dogmatic Forth too primitive and Lisp too clever. The language I'm currently working on [0], aims to find the sweet spot starting from Lisp in Go. [0] https:/&#x

Translation services, Unbabel [0] is the only one I have experience with (they went through YC a few years back). And I noticed a couple of days ago they're hiring developers in Lisbon. [0] https://unbabel.com/

M-x replace-string, Orgmode and Slime. I have yet to come across anything that compares, and I definitely prefer having Lisp built in to Python bolted on to the side. Emacs used to be considered quite slow, but compared to the latest offeri

You're entirely missing the point; which is blind faith in technology and scientific authorities, and humiliation and public shaming of anyone who dares to step out of line. Same, same but different. At least you can hold your local sh
