Australia has amazing CS departments that produce more top talent computer scientists per capita than any other place I've seen. They then export those engineers to the US and Europe and import people by the boat full who can't co

You're mistaking tools for ability. I have no idea if OP is a good engineer. But I have worked with a 100x engineer who never used version control and build in an a week what a team of 5 couldn't in two years.

The fact that there is no separation between data, addresses and commands? The general advice is that you shouldn't mix them, but the general advice today is that you shouldn't use ASM anyway.

In your own examples you're using both brackets and white space to delineate structure. This is complex because you need two parsers to even start working on the input stream and the full parser must know how to switch between them. In

No it won't be. S-expressions are the simplest way to linearize a tree. Everyone thinks there's something better and the very motivated write an interpreter for their ideal language in lisp. The ideas inevitably have so much jank

What's amazing about lsp isn't the polish, it's that we've hobbled our selves so much that a tool like it is even useful. Only having exposure to the algol family of languages does for your mental capabilities what a sug

What other languages use syntax for lisps use function applications for. Viz. the array reference a[0] in algols is a function application in lisps (vector-ref a 0). The same is true for everything else. Semantic white space in such a langu

I wrote a racket function that would need 35 levels of indentation ten minutes ago. White space isn't coming for lisps until we figure out 12 dimensional displays.

Yes its pretty funny when you realise what a tiny corner of the design space of programs most users inhabit that they think things like lsp are an amazing tool instead of a weekend throwaway project. What's even funnier is how much the
