Pretty sure Hetzner don't share infrastructure with either of those.

Sitting on an idea doesn't necessarily mean being inactive. You can think at the same time as doing something else. "Shower thoughts" are often born of that process.

A distinct and immutable pair is... A pair. (eq? (pair? '(A . B)) #t) (eq? (pair? (list 1 2 3)) #f) But agree you probably want list-ref instead of cddr and friends.

SRFI-105 is an infix syntax that composes well, and is supported by most Schemes. Its enabled by default with Guile, for example. (+ 1 2 {10 * 2} 6) https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-105/

Uh... Most Schemes don't use linked lists under the hood. That doesn't impact the syntax, just the implementation. Guile uses vectors, for example. [0] Chicken... Is Cheney, so your list disappears entirely, half the time. Gambit

Pairs are used by about 3-quarters of the standard library of Scheme, so I really would not consider its use to be a code smell. You should be using the pairs when using make-hash, for example. Cons also doesn't always return a pair. I

I've always been tempted with wisp. Ever since I saw SRFI-110. Love the concept. I just never quite manage to grasp the new syntax.

Well, you could use $ in Lisp, too. Thats a standard valid symbol, that doesn't have a builtin meaning.

It also generates the wrong relocations for link time. And so cannot boot, even with help. > The “compiles the kernel” claim needs a footnote. CCC compiles all the C source files, but the final binary cannot be produced because CCC gener

Yeah. x3270 can take care of all the right translation things to hook into X, and has been around since '89. There a few things that don't work straight across a telnet connection, hence the translation layer. https://l

Yeah, know of it. But no IO, filesystem, network or otherwise. Never found it altogether great as an actual benchmark other than for raw computation. Not bad at comparing compilers and optimisation. Great for checking R7RS compliance. Not w

Still maintained. You have the mob repo in another comment. Debian, Fedora, Arch and others pull their package from the mob repo. They're pretty good at pulling in CVE fixes almost immediately. Thomas Preud'homme is the new mainta

Huh. A second person mentioning the assembler. Don't think I ever referred to one...?

Not ones I recorded. But something I threw at DeepSeek, early Claude, etc. And the prompt was just that. Nothing detailed.

Yeah, didn't mention gas or ld, for similar reasons. I agree that a compiler doesn't necessarily "need" those. I don't agree that all the claims are backed up by their own comments, which means that there's pro

During a "clean room" implementation, the implementor is generally selected for not being familiar with the workings of what they're implementing, and banned from researching using it. Because it _has_ been enough, that if yo

Well, "Reimplement the c4 compiler - C in four functions" is absolutely something older models can do. Because most are trained, on that quite small product - its 20kb. But reimplementing that isn't impressive, because its no

Looking at the changelog, the open source license came in around September 1999.

I wonder how hard to port this to eLua would be? The bigger problem is probably packing. Pip can work fine with MicroPython. LuaRocks can be a pain, even on desktop.

Walrus operator, match. They're just syntax sugar, but expand the vocabulary for little benefit.

All I've done is speak where the evidence leads. They didn't live light and leave hardly a trace - they lived a very long time ago. Few weapons are designed to last millenia. Dismissing half of academia's findings with a wave

How many, many times has a project said, "Don't use, internal only", only for it to become an industry-wide common "trick"? Saying "here be dragons" is not enough to discourage people whose job it is to be

g++ and clang are comparable. You need to specify the implementation.
