Flemish, Alsatians and Corsicans are literally Dutch, German and Italian, who are just part of France due to recent history. Occitans and Catalans are near Spain. Bretons are Celts just like Gauls, whom you missed. You also missed other C

85% of Egyptians have some Arab DNA. Only 15% don't have Arab DNA. Even if the amount of DNA only adds up to 20% of their mix (the average), it's still very significant.

Lol. I've been in the Odin Discord for 4 years, talked to GB a lot. He literally never talks about politics. On Discord (where one of the channels is basically politics 24/7), on X, nowhere.

Lol equivalents to all those exist in at least half a dozen non-Lisp languages.

Not just Islamic conquest but Arab conquest. Up to this point Arabs lived mainly in, well, Arabia. The indigenous peoples of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, etc..., were all non-Arab. Nowadays those indigenous groups are known as Copts, Syriacs, Cha

So if you implement a non-homoiconic language in SBCL or Racket does the REPL blow up? Is Rhombus language a psy-op?

Apparently you're not experienced enough to have used a Lisp that doesn't have a REPL, nor a non-Lisp that does have a good one. You obviously haven't implemented a Lisp either, because then you'd understand what homoico

Apart from your rant, this is the most pertinent part of what you said: > There is real, palpable, practical, functional difference between working a Lisp REPL and a REPL in a non-homoiconic languages And it's false. There's n

Tell me your knowledge of Ruby is surface level without telling me... I used Clojure when it first came out, I've used Common Lisp for years, I've also used languages like Smalltalk and many others. Yes, Lisp environments are nice

I do think there's the possibility Russia attacks a NATO country in an attempt to save face. I don't think they have the manpower or equipment to sustain an assault that would require any level of mobilization from EU countries.

War is less imminent now than ever. Ukraine has caused a ton of damage to Russia and at this point the Kremlin has more to worry about than EU countries (pretty much every Russian government ever is brought down from within). No, leftist g

> Lisp is dynamically typed. Ish. SBCL aggressively infers types wherever possible. It can do dynamic typing with tags of course. You can also write it with 100% static types. Dynamic typing isn't a defining feature of Lisp style

Dunno it's just weird to say you're in the business of who you sell to instead of what you sell. A caterer that only caters to oil camps isn't suddenly in the oil business, for example. To take an easier to understand exampl
