I have the same opinion about Java and I hesitated as well before starting to read the book, so I'll use either Kotlin or common lisp.

For me it's the several stdlibs and Unicode strings.

> I guess Flix is Turing-complete while Datalog is not? Flix is a regular programming language, and supports datalog as a DSL basically, supported by the compiler and type system.

I think neurosymbolic ai could do better here. It seems to be an interesting field and this might be a cool application.

I had the same situation: I was so extremely tired when getting up at 6 that I basically needed an hour to eat cereal and shower.

That still means they have to get up early, though.

That reminds me of the mechanicus in warhammer 40k. They perform ancient rites to please the machine spirits before using a machine.

A cup of coffee has roughly 100mg already, no? So 450 aren't that much over a day.

Common Lisp is also on the JVM, so that's not really a good point for Clojure.

No reference, but same here.

You are absolutely correct. We have a 3 dimensional learning environment outside that's objectively better for learning and playing than anything else.

Saying that "he just wants to tell you about the silly flavor of lisp he invented" isn't exactly constructive either, especially when it's relevant.

This is on topic for implementing a lisp parser, though. Not sure what your point beyond this ad hominem is.

This ad hominem doesn't change anything about the quote.

You're paying your employee because they are suitable at this moment. Expecting someone to study in their free time is nonsense. If you want that you either need to pay for it or allow study time during the work time.

Sure, that makes sense, but you can write a compiler in languages that don't require it themselves. That's what I meant.

Good point, although I think it should be doable when describing input and output well enough.

> Maybe... MAYBE you don't have to read this book. Where did I say I have to read it or that the author should learn another language? Nowhere. I said I wish it wasn't using C so that I could read it more easily.

Now I can finally reply: that makes sense, and in hindsight is quite obvious, thanks. My general lack of knowledge in this area is a part of why I'd like to study it more, but preferably I'd like to use a language I'm already

I don't know what that has to do with learning about compilers and interpreters.

Sure, then it would be the same thing just with ML (which I pers. would prefer to C, but yeah). Pseudocode to explain the idea would be ideal, then you can work through the book in a familiar language. C is fine, it's just not ideal fo

> you (also) need a real language to cement your understanding of the subject. That's why I'd like to use a language that I already know instead of learning a new one while also learning new material.

> because it’s the lingua franca of conversations about compilers and interpreters There are many materials, compilers, and interpreters that use ocaml and haskell, for example. C isn't the only one. That's why I'd prefer
