You do see this kind of language in Clojure, where you can talk about a var separately from its value.

Yes. They call this excision[0] and it leaves an Audi table hole in the timeline which lets you attach metadata like why there is missing data while still removing the data. [0] https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/excision

Meanwhile I routinely use Lisp written before I was born (in 1986) that works out of the box in 2018. I’ve used Java packages (recently) from 1999. My company still uses python/pypy 2.7 and we see no compelling reason to upgrade. If th

It was for me. I'm not a professional photographer and I learned GIMP first (because it was free and worked on Linux). GIMP was never lacking anything I needed for some light amateur work or web dev work. Photoshop might be easier to u

I'm another native GIMP user. GIMP was all I had (I couldn't afford Photoshop, not that it worked in Wine around 2000) and it let me do some interesting work in high school art and photography classes. GIMP's script-fu (Guile

I wrote assignments for cash in college. When it came time for me to take a class, it was noticed that my work was very similar to past students. I tried using my VCS history as a defense when my prof noticed that my homework was similar to

I've worked 12+ hours 6-7 days a week at multiple points in my career for an extended period (the longest lasting 8 months). In my most recent case (which was 10 years ago), I was starting a company with a friend and we signed client c

If this is the case, I imagine a lot of profitable sites will be geo-banning EU users who don't subscribe to a payment plan as a non-profitable drain on resources.

Yes. I started using FreeBSD and Linux (which both came with gcc) because I couldn't afford Visual Studio in the late 90s.

I don't consider work experience relevant at all unless I can verify the work done or hold a particular recommendation in high esteem. Not getting fired for a length of time, while a skill, is not often what I care most about. Without

I use Clojure (or Clojurescript) for all of the things you listed. When I need something other than Clojure, that thing is typically C which is either a device driver or something I'm going to call into from Clojure. In the past I used

That depends on if they are willing to negotiate with you before considering it a debt. If they send you to receivables with a 100k bill and you negotiate down to 10k cash, they are well within their rights to write off the 90k as debt forg

evil-lisp-state (used by default in Spacemacs) is a paredit-like thing that seems to work with parens, braces, and brackets in any language I happen to be using. I've used it with Python and Javascript without really thinking about it.

nevow.stan uses objects to represent its ast. This isn't the same because it misses the point: objects aren't data in python (or most places, since objects are rarely printable/readable). Practical Common Lisp demonstrates a
