> a let rec construction for data Is there actually any Lisp dialect where letrec works for data? I'm not aware of such, at least where it comes to major ones (CL and common implementations of Scheme).

Perhaps you're correct about C++, but I was more referring to the Zig vs. Rust situation.
875.
by jhgb 5y ago
I imagine that Zig has a lot more focus on "I can't use X in my environment" types of situation. It seems that for many such situations it might be a better fit than Rust.
876.
by jhgb 5y ago
Presumably the idea is that lots of things that you basically have to use C++ for today because C alone is weak could be served by Zig instead, not that Zig and C++ are comparable languages.

Heh. And just yesterday, I checked if there wasn't a new release to check out! Now there is, I guess.

Anything that would make curtains radioactive would almost certainly also kill anyone in the room in fairly short order. So how many people were killed this way?

I did say "for most people". Obviously there are people not comfortable with certain things in international trade.

Well, I live in a place where doorbells are attached to people. It's not "necessary" but, just for starters, you might not even get your mail if a signature for something is required.

But with international trade you're also eating your cake and having it, too. Doesn't necessarily mean it's the exactly identical cake, and I didn't even claim that. Just that eating your cake and having it too happens a

That sounds like you're against international trade in general, since most countries benefit from buying varying amounts of cheap stuff from other countries, where the rules (and conditions in general) are different. Somehow, for most

Is it really non-portable if it can run in plain old Vim as well?

"Loan" sounds so generic to me that what you're saying may or may not be true in different places.

Then I'm puzzled why it wouldn't be easier to, say, just embed Chez in addition to LuaJIT.

I'm pretty sure that an empty rational moral system would still be a rational moral system. You'd just have more freedom in it. And regarding axioms, that's why you try to have as few as possible -- so that even though you ca

I know it does, but it's up to the extension's writer to use them properly. > the neovim community does go pretty heavy towards lua And that's why I like them.

by jhgb 5y ago
I wonder if Neovim wouldn't be an even better option for this. Isn't slimv written in that dreadful extension language for Vim? I may have seen it years ago and don't remember anymore.

Well, they may very well be both wrong -- and perhaps that's the likely answer. What is the intersection may be an interesting question. I can't prove it but it seems to me that finding the smallest intersection should exclude the

But of course axioms are traditionally defined as self-evident truths, not as "feelings". Furthermore whenever axioms are involved, the effort is to shrink their set as tightly as possible. I suspect that "feeling-oriented pe
