   Your advice is "drink heavily"? Is this a kind of joke?

   What is an embedded dev's view of Ada, by the way? (out of sheer curiosity)

   As a matter of fact, I agree.

   This example works in SBCL, where types (possible disjoint sets of values) are treated as assertions. By default I always set "safety" and "debug" to 3 (the max), which helps. ;; Giving names to abstract things a l

   Note that this is the order of display : The order of display of hunk slots is historical in nature. For better or worse, the elements of a hunk display in order except that the 0th element is last, not first. e.g., for a hunk of a length

   Not arguing about Lisp 1 vs Lisp 2, but the example seems broken: (defun hello-world () 'hello-world) (: hello-world) I freshly compiled LFE to test that and what is written above return an error. Besides, you can

    You are right, I forgot about that (the example was not great anyway). Thanks

    Thanks for your comment. The idea behind the Lisp reader approach is that custom syntax is used for reading/printing objects of different types, not to demarcate syntactic elements. For example, double quotes are for strings, #P"&

    Go has a ternary if, but the syntax is weird ;-) n := map[bool]func() int{ false: func() int { return falseExpr }, true: func() int { return trueExpr }, }[expr]() https://play.golang.org&#x2

    Of course not, lazy is opt-in in CL, that wouldn't be idiomatic. Besides, the semi-lazy approach of Clojure's pmap (allocate futures consecutively) doesn't seem to convince everyone: https://stackoverflow.com/

    This has nothing to do with performance. Also, there is no such clear distinction in how vectors and lists are used. You still require context to know if a vector is evaluated to itself or not, or if a list is a call. Without context, you c

    Overwriting is not so much a problem of naming than one of dynamic updates: some environments do actually display a warning when you change a global binding, which helps.
