CommonLisp is neither simple nor slow

@Fast-Nop B is cooler. If only it had OCaml like +. *. /. -. operators...

what language is that?

I see this especially in smaller niche groups. Chatting with APL users for example is like a family meeting for me.

@Gophyr oh now that is related

@Condor I think . is handled specially in here. The pattern has to explicitly start with a dot in order to match dot files. I have read that somewhere but I'm not 100% sure.

@taglia If it was small enough for the loss to not matter

But they'll sent a fuck you to FP with their total lack of generics, mutation everywhere ... too.
IMO GoLang is ConcurrentML--.

Well this won't delete .git, hence no problem

@Root that's very clever,
marketing is an important factor indeed

Of all the things modern languages learn from Lisp, perhaps the biggest thing missing is that Lisp programmers actually all agree on how to properly indent.

And ever since, a convinced Perler is to be found in him.

@ElToastGrande oh my god, that would be horrible...

R for maths is a stupid idea.
It's a statistics language and sucks at maths.

@ragnarr023 KSP IS ALWAYS REAL!!!

Less than 8 cups a day are harmless to your body, so don't worry (talking about coffee and not about how much sugar you consume).

Red and Brace don't rhyme :(

Termary usually expects expressions and not statements, hence no, I don't worry about the guy, who doesn't even get his syntax right.

@MojoJojo
If a programmer is not educated in language design, she is incompetent regarding the creation of a DSL.

metaprogramming is there to make things easier to read and is doing a great job.
don't blame the tool for its incompetent users, please

actor model ftw!

Both have super cool communities.

@bittersweet Haskell doesn't enforce non-shitty code either. I know some pretty shitty Haskell devs. I also know some great ones.

Btw, in my experience Haskell is an awesome prototyping language if you need to be fast-moving.

I honestly don't like PHP (though I like Perl), but blaming a language for programmers not knowing it properly is not all that clever.

Yeah, I see the criticism of "==", but seriously if you know the language it's a non-issue. This also applies to most criticism (not saying to all).

Go is to Concurrent ML what Lua is to Scheme.

uhm we have

@henne it allows you to declare keywords.

@Zaphod65 you are right, keywords are technically just functions.
But if you don't write while(()=>...,()=>{...}) in Js, you know it isn't that way in reality.

@jschmold I can assure you that it's not

; evaluates left arg first
