Yes because when your post reach HN you need to lock your account or else you'll have people argue in your mentions for days.

You're right that this is not a fair comparison (I was mostly interested in showing a variant with loop that is guaranteed to work on all implementations, unlike fact2). Without type declaration, and without speed 3 optimization, the f

You don't really have a precise measure when the time is 0.000002 seconds, there are other factors that can fudge the timings. But, there is indeed a better performance for "fact" on the small input. Notice that I have to mak

Following the $ thing for amount of values, a thing I like in Common Lisp is the way the reader can be customized, and maybe this is a bad idea but I would like to have user-provided data-types formats and bind them to prefix characters, or

And if the function can throw different kinds of exceptions, you need a way to express the union of unrelated exceptions (without defining a new variant type), a bit like Polymorphic Variants I guess.

The specification and boundary conditions directly comes from an analysis of the expected usage. Except for some all-purpose libraries you don't develop in a vacuum (assuming you don't work for Roomba).

Strongly disagree with your disagreement. Programming features help you organize your code. The fact that you actually have a robust software or not with what the language offers is another problem. When people say "errors are values&

The categorization would need to fit nicely into a tree of types, which seems unlikely, so a tag-based approach would be better. With a bit of custom DSL you can enforce exhaustiveness. ;; can store at compile time the tags for an op

While not as extreme as what is demonstrated here, I integrate things in my environment with Lisp in a way that is similar to this. I run StumpWM too so I can grab the content of the current X selection and do actions from it (e.g. the cont

This is Blanchard stuff. Autogynephilia exists (in cis-women too!), but that being a "real causal factor" is disputed: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00918369.2010.4...

I don't understand why you feel the Contributor Covenant[1] is ideological, or why the FreeBSD one isn't. The only major thing that distinguish them to me is that in some way the Contributor Covenant looks better structured (clear
