I would call the code CHICKEN generates for "direct style" not "natural". (I know - it is a cop-out to use "natural" in quotes) Regardless of what we call the style, it isn't simple any more. For people

Are there plans for a C API? The missing C API for Skia is most likely why Cairo is still alive.

That's always the case for new languages :-) Language adoption takes time. Besides Rhombus is still in the integration phase https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/521

Have you tried Rhombus? It feels like a lisp - just without the S-expression syntax. Also, having Rhombus doesn't mean Racket is abandonned. Far from it. Rhombus is built on top of Racket - and has gained a few nifty features in the pr

It's a good choice for the video though. Thinking of D0 in, say, D020 as a page number, makes it a bit more intuitive. But you are right, page 208 is not as familiar as D0.

This is was a fun, entertaining watch. There are several neat tricks in the video, like reusing the basic editor for the editing tracks. And even though Linus probably practised beforehand, it's impressive to see machine code programmi

C is often used as target language for compiler from higher level languages. The Scheme programming language requires all tail calls not to grow the stack. Therefore implementors have explored various techniques including trampolines. I don

Thanks for the response. I'll contact the Termux people and ask if the choice of `racket-minimal` was intentional.

I a not sure which Lisp you are thinking of, but compared to a "standard" Lisp you might be interested in how the module system interacts with the macro system. In particular the concept of a tower of phases.

It's supposed to take a couple of minutes. Please file a bug report so this can be tracked down. https://github.com/racket/rhombus
