I agree, it’s confusing. Plus, it looked like negative and positive advice was mixed, when referencing a talk.

emacs org mode will work in the terminal. For example, in an org doc you can have something like this: * Python #+BEGIN_SRC python :results output def myTest(a): return a + 2 print (myTest(8)) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: :

Common Lisp macro expansion happens at compile time, so they wouldn't affect runtime performance.

Thank you - that worked!! I haven't done step 4 yet, though, but will keep it in mind if I run into any weird issues.

My understanding is that the authors of SICP themselves wanted to update the curriculum - not just a language change, but to cover something at a higher level of abstraction. See: https://youtu.be/OgRFOjVzvm0

Thank you, I'll give it a shot ... I'd like to try this before using WSL for the situation I have in mind.

Actually, when I tried to use git on Win10 it worked at first but then at some point stopped functioning. Now that I'm on Win11, I definitely need to revisit that - thanks for the reminder! The only downside, though, is the clipboard w

It's useful running vim in git bash on Windows. I'll switch, though, if I ever figure out how to install tmux in that environment then I'll switch.

ah, got it! and was able to reproduce. This will be something to keep in mind whenever trying out different REPL offerings outside of emacs / slime ... thank you for the tip!

Thank you for the reply! And I see that even in my original attempt, I could have used (setf (cdr)) instead of (rplacd)...

Would the code to maintain a pointer on the last element look something like this? (let* ((list (list 1 2 3 4)) (last (last list))) (rplacd last (list 5 6)) (setf last (last last)) (format t "list: ~a~%last: ~a~%&quot

Counter point - as I've gotten older, I find dark mode much easier on the eyes. But it depends on the time of day, and how much lighting is actually available.

That's good news ... I thought they had added it but were forced to remove it. I think this will make Hy a bit easier to use, especially for those who are more comfortable with CL or Scheme than Python :)

I second the suggestion to start off with org mode. You get a low stakes note taking utility to use while getting comfortable with emacs. From there spread out to learn other features at your own pace.
