I've spent way more time with Racket than Common Lisp (just picked it up over the last month) and Racket just doesn't have the same development experience as Common Lisp. There's no iterative / interactive development in

Plain old HTML + forms can go a long way when accessed through the Lynx or w3 web browsers. I think the first time I encountered a system where this was the preferred path was in Kannel [0]. https://kannel.org/download/

I've reread the quote you posted and think I may understand, although I'm probably misusing some terminology: since the call to call/cc is the only thing in the lambda definition, the continuation captured at that point is ki

Can anyone explain in a little more detail what's going on in the definition of the Scheme version of sum-of-squares? The previous example where the continuation of 2 + 1 + N is captured makes sense to me, but I'm having a hard ti

I wouldn't say they're responsible for maintaining it. But I think it's fair to question their decisions. As I mentioned above, one of their principles specifically calls out that the internet depends on interoperability and

I'm not sure if you're trying to be antagonistic with this reply or not. I also didn't feel it was important for me to outline the entirety of the data pipeline -- I merely wanted to point out that FTP is still in heavy use i

The issue isn't that FTP is all of a sudden an important protocol. It has been chugging away in the background without much fanfare for decades. The issue with Firefox removing it largely comes down to convenience: it's been inclu

Absolutely not the same situation. There are numerous mentions in this very thread about industries / sectors that still heavily rely on FTP. There's hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contracts that rely on data being trans

FTP is still heavily used in the energy industry too. We upload an enormous amount of minute-by-minute meter data at work via FTP to various energy providers.
