I would rather take on a lisp job that pays my bills than a Java job that pays my bills + upgrades my car

This requirement has become a meme. I can do more on a project alone (spanning several new for me domains) with lisp than I can with a group of 5 or 10 in any other language

It works the other way too. Ive seen plenty of code with strict typing that could have its cognitive load reduced greatly by dynamic typing. A far bigger problem is hidden sideffects and static typing does nothing to fix that

The article talks about compiling formalized C code to Rust. While interesting from a tinkering perspective, I fail to see any significant utility in safety, security, readability, popularity and ease of language. Can you please educate me

LSP enables you to program as you go along, without ever understanding the structure of the whole program. If you don't want to use an LSP you pretty much must understand the whole program you are adding code to

> Like e.g. in Java it was common to have a comment on a simple (!) setter, telling you "this sets X" Given the prevelance of mutating functions in Java this is welcome

> I don't see much overhype coming from Rust practitioners That is like saying I don't see much overhype about AI from machine learning engineers. I am a ml engineer, and like myself great majority of ml engineers will tell you

Its sunday, shouldnt you be in church of holy borrow checker?

> although they may be subject to misunderstanding about their exact extent Isnt that what overhype means? Also no one is saying that Rust is unique in being overhyped. It is true of almost any language worth writing in, including c, lis

Your tendency to answer jokes so seriously is a symptom of the hype

The point, I think, was that "safety" presumptions about Rust are often exaggerated or poorly misunderstood due to hype. That could certainly lead to problems

Good luck with both of that. Otherwise people whose dayjob is rewritting everything in Rust will soon be out of a job

I think a disclaimer like this should be written with every Rust application, like health warnings on cigarette packets

What is the benefit of compiling formally correct code to Rust? It seems that all the possible benefits are already there (if not more)

TLDR: "Haskell vs Ada vs C++" but a lisp wins in development hours by huge margin I wonder if this is the 'relational lisp' in question https://www.ap5.com/ap5-man.html or https://ieeexplore.i

The difference in parenting styles to raising good programmers in extremes like Rust and Common Lisp seems to be one of spanking and being a friend
