   I had someone tell me we shouldn't be using Scheme at Spritely because AI code generators aren't good at writing it

   No no no

   That's a huge feature

     @mrowe it was on some very early desktops, they were just very expensive

     @cwebber i tested copilot for my last job and it suuuuck at lisp it's so funny. it just adds an extra parenthesis and can never get rid of it because it requires more than just singular positional token awareness.

     @cwebber Oh my gosh, I'm sorry it took me so long to look deeper into Spritely, because it's exactly my kind of thing. One of my favorite jobs eons ago was at PlaceWare, founded by Pavel Curtis, Mike Dixon, and David Nichols of Xerox PARC: early web conferencing software built on distributed objects. It's due for a comeback!

     @cwebber I've also been playing a lot with Racket for the past few weeks, COMPLETELY coincidentally, so I think the universe is telling me something.
