> It should also be noted that handling state like that is not really idiomatic Erlang. It's not about the state but about intermediate results. When you have a value that you pass to one function, and then you need to pass the resu

You're assuming that named lambda is the same thing as a function, which often isn't true. Unless you mean that `=>` should be ambiguous depending on scope (lambda inside a function, a function in global scope)? That would also

I wanted to buy it - I don't remember exactly, but I think I couldn't find an e-book version, and the paper one was expensive and didn't even ship to my country :( I hope to be wrong on that, though, do you know if there&#x27

Hm, my impression is based on the lack of posts or articles with people demanding this to be a feature. I searched, and it just doesn't seem to come up in discussions, and when it does, it's invariably about cl-cont and problems w

You might live in another country where the situation is different, or maybe my experiences are outdated (20 years later, they might be). What I remember is unfairness and corruption, feudal-like relationships, tons of wasted time on things

Thank you!! I was very interested in `convert-thread-to-coroutine` - I saw it on the ELS presentation, and when I went spelunking in the CMUCL codebase, I found the prototypes for `fork` and `resume`, but (probably because CMUCL is single-t

That's on quicklisp, not Coalton. Honestly, quicklisp is one of the worst parts of CL nowadays (right after the lack of coroutines[1], which is by far the worst offender.) It should have been replaced a long time ago. ASDF3 provides a

It needs a lot more good tutorials about its type system. Lacking the background in whatever subfield of math that would help here, I couldn't type my way out of a wet paper bag in it. I'd love a concise, down-to-earth, exposition

Obviously, also available in CL, in Serapeum library[1]. Racket is credited in the docstring (since it's ~> instead of ->). Also, `nest` works very well for unnesting forms[2] [1] https://github.com/ruricolist&#x2

In most of those implementations (certainly in SBCL) it's either you break or step; you can't start stepping from a breakpoint. SBCL got some support for that this year, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=437

My bad, I mean source-level debugger. Something that allows you to step through forms as they are in the source, unexpanded and not decompiled. It should allow jumping to a line or over an expression, continuing to a point, seamlessly stepp

I only learned Prolog as a hobby, so I may be mistaken, but the quality of the code seems really bad? Starting from keeping game state in a bunch of magic globals (assert/retract everywhere), to a lack of input parsing (even though DCG
