These things are just the editor plugin executing the code in a background REPL and showing the output inside the editor, no? While for example real-time updates are pretty cool, I don't see how that makes it not REPL driven developmen

Not when compared to the CL REPL, yes.

It should be obvious? He uses Racket, Racket has a very simple REPL, as opposed to CL which allows him to use the features he has heard mentioned about Lisp. Interactivity, short feedback loop, etc. This has been written thousands of times

I'm thinking about using CL for this years Advent of Code. I think it lends itself well for this kind of programming.

by dunefox 5y ago
Yeah, absolutely. I think CL the language should be modernised (more coherent stdlib, naming scheme for destructive functions, etc) but it's basically the only language that offers a handful of really cool features that I can't

Please do!

This looks really good. I might even contribute. Is it actively developed?

Sum types and exhaustive pattern matching are functional features though.

Most farming is done for live stock feed, so your argument makes little sense. Also if there's the choice to be made between soil and live animals I'm choosing the animals.

Yes, Go, the Google language. Very surprising that it became mainstream. In the case of Python: it's imperative and somewhat object oriented and mostly without advanced features which makes it attractive for university courses, for exa

No, because it is a non issue. There is no need to replace it.

That sounds interesting . So I can program in F# and run it in Python? What are the limitations? Also, is the resulting code readable?

It seems the commands like 'next' are case sensitive. Is this intended?
