That's not true. There are huge investments needed to upgrade nuclear power plants over their lifetime, which typically will need to be run long past its estimated lifetimes. A lot of upgrades are even not possible. The powerplant also

But then we would have to deal with expensive and problematic nuclear. It's much more efficient to scale renewable energy, then deploy old technology like current nuclear powerplants, which are extremely costly with lots of unsolved pr

Saving energy has been long a goal. More efficient technologies are being deployed all the time.

by lispm 2y ago
The goal is to use the technology which brings us world-wide fastest and cheapest forward. That's not nuclear, which stagnates mostly in building&deployment and is getting more expensive quickly.

I learned LISP on systems like an IBM mainframe, DEC-10 with TOPS-10, the DEC VAX 11/780 with VMS, SUN 3 & 4, Symbolics 3600/3640, ... all these had large virtual memories, with the resulting feature that the speed of memory a

by lispm 2y ago
The standard leaves it to the implementations/implementors to decide what to do. An implementation can check all these type constraints. It may not do it, for example, if code gets compiled with the opimization quality SAFETY of 0 (and

There is nothing which would require me to use Clojure to check those things. For example... one can easily express all that in Common Lisp: https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/04_b....

specs are not types. Your Clojure compiler will have a hard time statically checking specs at compile time.

Note that this behavior is completely implementation specific and totally undefined in the Common Lisp standard.

Modern CPUs can execute Lisp just fine, like they execute languages like Java and Javascript, which also use a lot of pointers. Just like those, Lisp offers vectors, strings, hash tables, structures/records and objects. > This was n
