   Japanese would have a hard time with the "R", Arabs would have a hard time with the "o". Not "everyone" can pronounce Ronaldo.

   It's very easy to become homeless when you get the 1-2 punches of illness and divorce. A friend of mine went from riches to rags within a year that way.

   Folks, recursive data-strcutures are CS101. Processing them is also a trivial, template-filling exercise. First you specify the (recursive) datatype, consisting of the simple "leaf" elements, along with the complex forms. Then you write you

   That guy is huge in China. He is on CCTV stations almost nightly. Has multiple shows. Lectures extensively. He even speaks at very swanky government events, and the big pep-rallies they had before the Olympics.

   Later version of Dylan are a much better language, Algol-syntax not withstanding. Better still, is GOO: a very elegant little language that would make for a perfect Dylan or Common Lisp core.

    I couldn't wait long enough, so I got a Huawei Ascend D1 Quad. It out specs almost every phone in the market. The brand is virtually unknown, so they threw everything on this quad-core 1.5GHz machine. It upgraded itself Android 4.0.4, and i

    Typed Racket's static-dynamic is due to its module system: modules allow for seperate compilation, and the type-checker accepts accepts fully typed modules, not mix-code fragments. However, Siek's Gradual Typing does handle mix-type expre

    Isn't that antithetical to the Lisp aesthetic? it breaks code contours . Lisp code is curvy ;-)

    Except Arabic is a living language and has 300 "expert" speakers :-P

    by mahmud 14y ago

    This is actually a myth. Arabic is not more or less "expressive" than any other language. It's just language communities evolve richer vocabularies for their subjects of interest/specialization. Arabic saw feverish interest in philosophy an

    Neat. I also wrote a bunch of Arabic Lisps, most toys that went nowhere :-) My biggest obstacle has so far been language itself: I think I'm too much of an Arabic snob to settle for simple, dictionary translation of some technical terms.

    That was a wishful "should"; a naive statement made in the hopes of it becoming self-fulfilling, an impersonal prayer to the universe. Not an imperative directed at you. Besides, we have better uses for you ;-)

    Even then, it should inspire people to study the fundamentals, not go into big-language punditry :-D

    Before this devolves into another farcical, Lisp arm-chair punditry: at 9 operators it's pretty much a kernel untyped lambda-calculus with pairs. And just that. The implementation is as trivial as the concept is profound. The discussion s
