It ostensibly has both macros and closures, though. The lisp source i linked creates an anonymous function and uses it with map (which I assume means it has real closures though I guess you could fake that too), and here are some macros: h

Yes, but you have to be explicit that it's a recur by using the recur special form. (I'm not convinced that matters, but some people get hung up on it.)

Clojure has `recur` that does what you want. I'm not sure why it matters what the JVM supports. x86_64 doesn't do tail recursion either; it's the compiler's job to translate. Let's separate the `recur` vs the functi

Welp, you're right, all of those things are true for the lisp files too (not just vp). I just read some sample source and missed https://github.com/vygr/ChrysaLisp/blob/5483e0926b926c2cde63... . I agree

What makes it "not actually Lisp but some new language with a superficially Lisp-like syntax"? (Never mind that it's ostensibly a lot more than just a language but an entire OS with a Lisp-geared runtime -- I'm assuming

Maybe! Certainly other environments with an emphasis on anonymity, pseudonymity or privacy in general have turned out to be terrible cesspools. But on the other hand, Signal and Whatsapp aren't. It's also not necessarily a broadca

Your handle suggests you're Dutch: every Dutch passport issued in the last decade (and hence, I think almost every current valid Dutch passport?) has your fingerprints. In fact, the Netherlands is the only EU country so far (I think) t

Asciinema is great and a joy to use, but one of the coolest things about how Asciinema is made is that the web player implements a virtual terminal emulator in Clojure: https://github.com/asciinema/vt/blob/mas

GraalVM native-image is not a listed option, but I regularly use it to produce binaries that are competitive with (often better than) Go in terms of size and (start time) perf. A Clojure tool that parses, traverses and processes JSON (caro,

I agreed until the disaster that was Jigsaw. Maybe Jigsaw didn't impact you particularly hard, but you can't argue the JVM has a policy of minimal backwards incompatible changes given that debacle.

memcmp promises a nonzero return value tells you something about the lexicographic ordering. bcmp does not: so if you only care if it's exactly equal or not, it might be faster.

Right. I found those docs but they didn’t look like datalog queries at all. Of course that doesn’t mean they don’t compile down to datalog :)

The Datalog part is interesting! Do they have a bunch of rules to make graph queries work nicely, like Datomic pull syntax or maybe some pattern matching syntactic sugar? Is the underlying thing still an EAVT store? Is any of that informati

There's an incidental benefit here. There's at least one system (I think Duo + Okta?) which, when configured to check if your browser is out of date, makes a logic error. It should check if your browser is the most recent, and, if

Mostly agreed. My understanding is the divvying up is not a govt entity, and the judge still has to approve the settlement, which isn’t a foregone conclusion, so it’s not entirely true that Equifax is out of the woods. Also, the reputationa

I don’t disagree, but that’s not responsive to my (or GPs) point. GP implied the aggregate is what made it OK: if anything that made it more sensitive (not everyone would bother to aggregate and look up who owns the IPs).

It is public those are Apple’s IPs. It is not public they are downloading data from this S3 bucket, never mind how much.
