Now that's an interesting perspective, it makes me think of the (A)GPL and Free compared to Open Source software.

Well, as a native speaker I don't really have first-hand experience to how hard it is, but here in Belgium it generally agreed on that it's easier for Flems (Dutch speakers) to learn French than for Walloons (French speakers) to l

Wait, so the Google Play Store, which you can install alternatives to (F-Droid, Aurora, Amazon,...), and where you can easily install apps through other means (such as downloading an APK through your browser and running it from the file man

No, it's due to the ovewhelming exposure to media from the U.S., mere spellcheckers oughtn't interfere with 'underground' vs 'subway', 'film' vs 'movie', 'flat' vs 'apartment&

I would disagree that solarized is a good default, the colour it uses for blue (which is used by ` ls ' to show directories) is so low contrast it wears my eyes out.

C, Perl, and Lisp? Amazing, it's like I'm looking into a mirror: those are the 3 languages I appreciate the most. The first time I tried coding something pseudo-practical in C (a simple program which counted the instances of every

Practical Common Lisp is also a nice read, and the Cookbook* seems to be coming along quite nicely. There's also CLiki (the Common Lisp wiki), but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. * https://lispcookbook.github.io&#x2F

Maybe Gauche ( https://practical-scheme.net/gauche/ )? It kinda depends on what you want to get done, though. If the thing you want to get done is to make an operating system I guess Loko would be your go-to. EDIT: There

In my editor I just press Ctrl+x, 8, Enter, and then I can look up Unicode codepoints based on either the hex code or the name. Alternatively you could do the whole Unix 'do one thing and do it well' thing and use a character sele

Guile probably has the best Emacs integration through Geiser. While you don't really need it and you can just follow along with a terminal REPL, using something like Geiser helps keeping the experience smooth. MIT/GNU Scheme comes

Serious mode: it's good that people are exploring the programming language space, both tiny and big changes can mean a world of difference in reducing bugs and making programs nicer both for the user to run and the developer to create

That's funny, my impression was the opposite: that you'd almost always want a fixed-width integer to promote to bignum when it transcends the limit. It's a lot more sensible than adding a bunch of integers together and ending

I don't think there's a real 'default' Scheme, like Chez is probably the implementation which generates the fastest code, but if I'm not mistaken it only implements the R6RS spec, Guile is quite performant and suppo

I switched from Guile to SBCL because I really like having things such as (declare (inline my-function)) and (declare (type Double-Float x y z)). Now if only it had case-lambda, named let, and a better deftype which can specify members of c
