I have to agree. After over 20 years of very happily using vim and other vi-clones, I'm in the process of making emacs+evil my main editor. Making the switch is slow and painful for this veteran vim user who has perfected his vim environmen

"The most frustrating thing for me about regular Vim is not being able to move around a line as easily when I’m in insert mode. With Evil I can have C-a, C-e, M-s, M-f, and M-b without jumping in and out of insert." Assuming that in emacs

It's possible to do pattern matching in Scheme, though it's not standardized (AFAIK). Here are some approaches: https://curiousprogrammer.wordpress.com/2006/12/08/pattern-m... http://www.javaist.com/blog/2008/11/12/pattern-matching-in-s

MIT did indeed switch from Scheme to Python for their introductory courses (though I've heard they still use Scheme in some more advanced courses).[1][2] However, I recall that a little later some MIT graduate students started teaching thei

That's good to know, and gives me extra incentive to learn Haskell some day. On the Scheme side of things, I've heard that the newish (4.8.0 and up) versions of Chicken can perform flow analysis to catch some type errors at compile time, an

I have experience with OCaml, and I don't find its static typing to be nice to work with at all. I like the final result of safety, and how whole classes of bugs are excluded once I get my OCaml program to compile. But the process of getti

With syntax hilighting and proper indenting, the Scheme code is pretty easy to read: http://img1.imagilive.com/0413/scheme-fact.png You could even simplify it a little by getting rid of the lambda: http://img1.imagilive.com/0413/scheme-f

I went from SML, Caml Light, and OCaml to Common Lisp, and then to Scheme. I prefer Scheme by far to any other language I've ever used (which includes a whole bunch of languages not listed above). For me, Scheme is much more fun to program

"it should be punished in the same way no matter the classification of the victim" Hate crime legislation does not protect people based on "the classification of the victim". It protects everyone equally. Maybe you missed it, but David

Intent, or (to use the legal term) mens rea , has everything to do with hate crimes. To quote David Neiwert yet again: Lawrence points to the distinction between bias crimes and their underlying parallel crimes, which in effect creat

A number of posts here have mentioned "thought crime" and hate crime legislation as supposed indicators of lack of freedom. This makes me wonder about what exactly it is that the opponents of hate crimes want to be free to do, were their ac
