Another underwhelming wide-eyed intro to a lisp repl that does nothing interesting. And the comment section is full of drones praising s-expr and how they can do a lot more with a lot less or something. Or maybe the whole thing is satire. In any case, this just makes me want to stay *far* away from any kind of lisp. Waste of time.

Typeclasses don't require and dont give you higher kinded types. You happened to write a typeclass instance (Functor) for a higher kinded type (Box) but they are orthogonal concepts. `Num`, `Read`, and `Show` are examples of typeclasses that don't require a higher kinded type.

There are several cute things included in the loop extensions that make certain toy problems trivial, but it is so un-Lispy that I avoid them all. It's more than just an aesthetic issue -- a DSL, especially a non-Lispy one, belongs in a loadable library, not the language core. Because of the syntax of this DSL, it is tricky and sometimes impossible to add type declarations without violating that syntax. Similarly, it is tricky and sometimes impossible to instrument the code with things like counters and accumulators and conditional breakpoints. I think it is much better to write one's own specialized iterator macros that look and behave more like the core built-ins of map, reduce, and do, but with whatever specializations and optimizations that apply to the problem at hand. I also think it is better to do that because it lets me be a programmer, not a configuration technician.

Your comments on Common Lisp performance are just plain wrong, btw. It has (without additional libraries and right out of the box): arrays, hash-tables, ... So the data structures are not the reason. And Common Lisp is fast (SBCL for example). Python is not even in the same ball park. So, you cannot argue that perfomance was the reason Common Lisp did not become main stream if mainstream python is by a factor of 30 slower, 25 years later and popular....

@GavinFreeborn 19 күн бұрын

I never said performance was the only reason common lisp did not become mainstream. Some could see it as a factor when compared to languages that began to take its place but it definitely was not the soul or even main reason.

Been wanting to learn Clojure or Common Lisp. Although Clojure seems really cool (it introduced me to LISPs), I was never able to get the environment setup in Emacs like i saw people do it. Then on top of that, I just don't like the the Java Interop code looks -- just puts me off. I'm actually turning to Common Lisp to see if setting it up is easier. I don't know if anything I want to do can be done in CL though. It just seems like a freaking cool language.

@jenniferdarline 26 күн бұрын

I had installed all the dependencies and tried using Roswell as well as the shell script from the install directions. Additionally on arch I could not makepkg, there was a fatal error in SBCL about core being built for a runtime that was not matching my host name and I dont know enough or have the patience to try to solve it. So I went back to Emacs. Plus after reading a very well written opinion about LEM on Reddit it seems that its a good concept but still too young and lacks the practicality Emacs has after decades of maturity.

Thanks! Kmonad is a great piece of software. It just works, and the configuration file (intimidating at first) is very easy to edit because it has a smart design. I had tried to configure my keyboard with a mix of xmodmap, setxkbmap, sxhkd and xcape. All of them worked for one specific thing but were very incompatible with the others, and some had a horrible syntax. Kmonad did everything with a single binary and a single configuration file. Awesome.

Watch the video "The Curse of Lisp". The strengths are also weaknesses. Like rolling your own syntax using macros might be fun for computer nerds but horrible in a production setting

@Freddy78909 Ай бұрын

You realize Type Classes are yet another workaround (similar to templates in other languages) caused by constraints of a strongly typed language? Javascript, Python etc simply don't have this problem because they're weakly typed. Which is my preference honestly

@GavinFreeborn Ай бұрын

That is certainly one way to see it. To me and many others it is far more than a workaround. They let a function handle many types and be extended to handle more. This unfortunately isn't a native feature that comes with most dynamic languages and requires dynamic dispatch, modifying the function, or modifying the class to support the operation as seen in javascript and python. Adding methods is great and all and if the language allows it like in the case of JavaScript it's fine but in the case of python that isn't an option. There is a reason both languages have a common iteration interface. It's to fill this gap.

My goto languages for AoC is Clojure. Mainly because I don't use the language enough, and AoC gives me a use case for practice. I might, at one one, vaguely thought of using elisp, but passed because of my Clojure focus. This video confirmed my basic approach. • Read text from source file • Convert data to a data structure • Process the data structure with appropriate functions

Java won in the enterprise because it's "portable" and had the weight of a company behind it, but also because it has a very strict syntax and is C-like enough that everyone who went to college in the US can understand/learn it will minimal effort, meaning companies who adopt it had a large hiring pool of potentially inexperienced programmers, as opposed to a much smaller pool of more experienced/well-versed programmers

@coolbugfacts1234 2 ай бұрын

most actual java code is completely unreadable though, it is so complicated it can only edited using a sophisticated IDE, and even a simple system cannot even begin to be understood since the logic and behavior is spread to thousands of different source code and XML configuration files so the signal to noise ratio is to a first approximation 100% noise

@grokitall Ай бұрын

i have heard the myth about portable java code for years, and am still waiting to find anyone who actually writes it. most programmers grow up using a single infrastructure like for example windows, and tend to encode so many of the shortcuts from that infrastructure into the code that when they try and run it on any other platform it explodes and does not work at all. to write portable code, you must write portable code and test it against your targets as early as you can. i know of more than one project developed on a windows laptop, but targeted to be a multi user unix app, where the built in assumptions meant it would only work single user on windows, as the developer had no experience of any other platform. in most cases, it required a near complete rewrite with continual testing against the destination platform to get it to work, with the original implementation being seen as only any good as a demonstrator project.
