The follow-up posts look really interesting. Looks like they go through the complete implementation of a lisp system including macros using PHP as the host language.

Stephen King mentions the technique of dedicated places in his book On Writing (which is great by the way). He suggests the idea place is a room with a door that you can close.

I'll second this. I went through the Tour of Go over a 3-day weekend when I didn't have many obligations and messed with a reasonable portion of the examples although none of the exercises (I think). I really like it, although I don't think

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at that.

If you have time, I'd be curious for your reasons not to use Prolog to implement scheme. I've been playing with Prolog lately and to my newbie eyes it seems like it would be a good host language for interpreters. My email is in my profile i

I'm basically replying to this comment so I can find it again. I think your point about unsafe functions being fine as long as access to them is only possible through controlled access points that verify sane input is one of the most intere

But this leads to stasis if you are given unlimited time and money. That is, if you did have your ideal constraints, would anything ever be produced? I read some short story (that I wish I remembered the title of) when I was a kid about the

I'm pretty sure that if Python had a slightly easier deployment option it would replace several of the other scripting languages in my toolbox. The main pain points for me right now are the Python 2 vs 3 split (only a problem because I'm fr

That's seems like a useful understanding.

Actually, I'd say that in mathematics, things are provably true given that the initial assumptions are true. However, mathematics does not so far as I know deal with the truth of those initial assumptions (axioms), it simply accepts them as

I remember reading an article about Inuits doing traditional kayaking (I think to hunt whales but I'm not sure). The writer was surprised to find out that they did not train or practice "Eskimo Rolls". He asked what they would do if they go

That's a pretty strong statement (not that I disagree with it), just that it's strong enough that I'd love to see a citation for evidence of that history.

Do you have any current examples of consumer level microwaves with that simple interface? I've been looking for exactly that sort of simple microwave, but I haven't been able to find any in my brief searches on the internet or in the large

Yet whenever you see prolog or datalog reimplemented (see On Lisp, PAIP, AllegroGraph, Clojure Datalog implemetation, etc) the implementers have tended to appropriate Lispy syntax rather than the original Prolog syntax. This might also just
