> Lisps don't have a type system, which makes things a bit more complicated

SBCL, which is a very popular Common Lisp implementation, is indeed strongly typed. Coalton, which is an addon, is even statically typed

In contrast, in Serbia you can buy simcards without ID at any kiosk

Almost everywhere in the former Yugoslavia is more safe than in the West. But it is not only safe, you will very easily make friends as people are much more open to forming friendships. Belgrade is one of my favourite cities. Never been to Nis

Although it is a general concern that governments are constantly encroaching on our private conversations I cannot help but wonder why Serbia is singled out. There are much more authoritarian examples of survailence technology and draconian laws in the West, examples being Australia UK Spain, etc

the war in bosnia is generally thought to have started due to an illegal independence referendum held at the start of march 1992. if you are ukranian think crimea. also it wasnt a bosnian-serbian war. bosnian is not the same as bosniak. a bosnian is a person from a bosnian region (sometimes also incorrectly referring to people from herzegovina) and not a side in the conflict. you can more correctly say that the war was about bosnians killing bosnians. a bosniak is a nationality, historically slavic muslim, from the region of former yugoslavia. also it was a bosniak/croatian/serbian war, a three side war. moreover it wasnt really a Serbia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Croatia war, as in state vs state, but a civil war faught by people living in bosnia and herzegovina. today bosnia and herzegovina has 3 constituent nationalities: bosniaks, croats, serbs

oh boy you want to sound confident but really you have no idea what you are talking about. lol at the sds snipers being cause of war. war in yugoslavia was already one year in by the time it started happening in bosnia. for objectivity reasons when talking about catalysts for the war you should also read about the wedding attack in sarajavo that happened several weeks prior to the sniper event. anyway if you are ukranian, pray that the peace agreement your country signs doesnt result in a type of governing system that bosnia has

Can you please hook me up with your dealer

mate europe (the people living in it) doesnt want a war. most of the eastern countries except those on the north dont want a war and see this very much so as a us provocation

correct but since we live on the same planet at the same time i demand for ukraine to never join nato or any other armed alliance, for ukraine to outlaw bandera nazis, for palestine and israel to be one democratic state of equal citizens regardless of ethnicity within historic palestine, for kosovo to be recognised again by the us and satelites as part of serbia (like ukraine does) etc

So according to you Ukraine is doing such a fine job the EU has nothing to fear

NATO is the Red Cross ?

completely opposed to it, yes. im an ex refugee. i hate war and especially conscription. and super especially a pointless war that destroys the whole country and sets it back for generations to come.

ive also seen what western interefernce looks like when the west wants there to be a war. for example compare this to boris johnson torpedoing the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 2022

   On 18 March 1992, all three sides signed the agreement; Alija Izetbegović for the Bosniaks, Radovan Karadžić for the Bosnian Serbs and Mate Boban for the Bosnian Croats. The plan had assigned each of the 109 municipalities to be divided amongst the three ethnic sides. The allocation of the municipalities was mostly based off the results of the 1991 population census that was completed a year before the signing of the agreement. The agreement had stipulated that the Bosniak and Serb cantons would each have covered 44% of the country's territory, with the Croat canton covering the remaining 12%.[3]

   On 28 March 1992, after a meeting with US ambassador to Yugoslavia Warren Zimmermann in Sarajevo, Izetbegović withdrew his signature and declared his opposition to any division of Bosnia. What was said and by whom remains unclear. Zimmermann denied that he told Izetbegović that if he withdrew his signature, the United States would grant recognition to Bosnia as an independent state. What is indisputable is that on the same day, Izetbegović withdrew his signature and renounced the agreement.[4][5]

Ukranians should take note that the Bosniak side came out even worse after that war, while the Serbian side today controls half of the country in a defacto almost independent state

Unfortunately I cant make sense of what you wrote

Lol. Are you serious?

The US is currently pressuring the Ukranian government to lower the conscription age to 18. In Russia there does not seem to be any conscription at the moment. You make your own conclusion

People of Ukraine should not be forced to fight by their government. Simple

You make me laugh

If we are talking about you reap what you sow ... I think Germany is a sovereign country that is free to choose its own economic partners without judgement from third parties. Ukraine on the other hand signed a bunch of agreements upon its independence that it would never join NATO but started making moves to NATO membership anyway long before this war. Then there was the Minsk agreements that are now openly regarded as 'signed to buy time'. Seems like Ukraine does not take its own signatures very seriously

One is growing another is about to hit recession, you figure which is which

From what I read better than Germanys lol

Like they are doing to Palestine ?

If Iran launched drones againt Israel and Israel shot down a civilian airliner ... how would that be spun

It is as clear as this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown

there are "repls" and repls. even java has a "repl". forget about dynamic/static dychtomy, im yet to see a non-lisp repl. one which provides a true interactive experience with your running program

and even though static languages can have "repls" as an afterthought (eg GHCi), rest assured that their static typing property is a completely unnecessary cognitive load (at least cognitive but very likely a performance one too) to their functioning

to further expand on this, in common lisp i can build up my program dynamically in the repl, allowing me to progrssively make more readable and understandable code after making it do what i want, and then do the final tidying up with type i formation amd necessary documantation when i compile it. i fail to see how any i can program with less cognitive load in any other language, especially strictly static ones

I use them and compared to what I can do with my Common Lisp programs on a far less computationally intensive IDE it is many times poorer. An even more interesting aspect because it is entirely people dependent, is that I find code in an average common lisp project far more readable and understandable than what is regarded as a very good java aplication

just think of any obvious function where type is obvious. surely writing typing information in those cases is reddundant to the extent that it wouldnt even help with optimisation. but think about something like this:

   bool function1(x y z):
          bool function2(x y z)

immagine function2 besides returning true/false mutates x in some major way. this is a far bigger and more common problem than typing. a dynamic language with capabilities of runtime debugging is far better equiped to inspect code like this

also i am not saying that typing is worse than no type information. im saying that typing should be optional as far as the compiler is concerned and typing information should be like documentation that is useful to the compiler. common lisp can be an example of a language that is both dynamic and strongly typed (see SBCL) to the extent that you can implement a statically typed language (ala ML) in it

> Unlike CL, there's never a parser or an interpreter hidden in there

Ive never ever run into this problem in the years of writing common lisp. Can you show me an example code that has this? I wager you cannot and you are writing poopoo about something you know poo about and want it to be true just because you are too lazy to move beyond knowing poo

> But this kind of power just isn't conducive to maintainable code.

I can usually run code decades old in common lisp. In fact this is one of its well known features. How much more maintainable can it possibly get :)
