I don't see anything in the manual about MIT scheme compiling to C, just to its own native code object files and some portable bytecode... https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/stable...

The Senate rules require a 60+ vote majority to pass the funding bill. There aren't enough Republican senators to hit that, so they need a few Democratic votes. Yet they're unwilling to negotiate and work out a measure that Dem co

I don't use ed interactively but find it's really useful in shell scripts that need to edit files - heredocs or piping printf output (like one example in the article; never felt a need for something like his xed). Even used it in

I hope they're humanely harvesting their eyeballs for boba before putting them in the collider. Such a waste otherwise. https://img.ifunny.co/images/c736301a01cc03ff1f03dac1c8b87f7...

Bug: The `list-iter` function presented assumes that an empty list is false. While that's the case in Common Lisp, it isn't in Scheme (and hasn't been in a very long time; iirc in early versions it was optional behavior).
