I feel the same

As a sidenote, I guess spec could be useful for "verifying" the data.

I can relate:

> The Lisp curse? In a nutshell too much power means less or no hardship; no hardship — no community.

it is actually suprisingly fast

At that moment, Anton became enlightened.

I guess it's easy to parse, and excellent for macros!

Mushroms made us smart

Couldn’t agree more

What happened to all the visual images in this PDF?

How about the speed of compilation? Is it bearable?

I am not sure if I understand what you mean with multi-file and why it matters. As a lisp, the program is already in memory, I can interact with it through the repl. I am sure I can ask it to format itself?

If the program has syntax errors, nothing can happen, how would it know how to format it self if it is not correct?

Perhaps the approach is very different in lisp (and smalltalk which I have some experience with), there is no parsing of the program from the outside - or - if you take that approach and treat the s-expr as dead text you have to sort of reimplement the parser (or the system) in order to have some understanding of it, which in my mind seems very inefficient.

Why can you not just give macros enough meta-data so the reader-formatter knows what kind of formatting the form desire? Provided your lisp have macros of course...

I program in clojure and clojurescript. I use hiccup. All the beautiful stuff is right there.

I find it quite easy. Just use the hsl() function.

Clojure

What about operator precedence?

Please sit VERY still for a couple of minutes.

Funny how much complexity you have to introduce by just getting rid of the parentheses.

I later learned that MLISP functioned as a preprosessor for a normal lisp. Don’t know about the macro facilities, perhaps someone can chime in with details?

In one dimension, yes, sometimes. But I find myself having better control with grids, even in a single dimension.

It’s enough that your site respect the cookie settings of the browser, which they all do as far as I know. So the warnings are not needed.

Facts?

EDN

Was thinking the same thing. Seems people conflate java with the jvm. The jvm is almost as cool as the beam. Which got me thinking about the lfe, since we are in lisp land.

Yes

They certainly don’t come with anything nonessential anymore.

Perhaps they aim to get rid of the keyboard completely, replacing it with a haptic feedback capable device and a glass plate with the keys inscribed?

I agree, and Data and code is the same in a lisp.

We would probably just treat the html as data, that is normal lisp. So no syntax changes. Same for css I guess. Maybe in twenty years.

I feel for you and I know that normal people are always the victims of sanctions, not the privileged and rich. I hope one day your people will be free. Sincerely.

This is such a great kept secret. Most people just scoffs of when they see a project on github not updated for a couple of years. Not with Clojure.
