@euklidiadas yo huevos sí como.

@Beldarak @mattsheffield just let Adolf join the fucking Art classes.

Holy shit.

Just wow, wow, holy shit:

Completely rewriting a multi-million line COBOL codebase that has life-or-death consequences for real people in the space of a few months, using gen AI?

I’ve been writing software for 40-some years, and I have to say: this may be, without exaggeration, the stupidest software-related idea I’ve ever heard from leadership.

@Rataunderground @maltita y yo forth por ocio y Go para cosas serias. Ni IA ni gaitas. Libros y el tuto de Go.

@sacha @amoroso @ramin_hal9001 @screwtape Perl killed Unix.

@Critico_entropico @orosus @Tanuki @VaryIngweion mejor GMT+0 Y quitar la jornada partida. Mejor comer ligero en 20 minutos y merendar fruta. Y sería preferible desayunar más.

@Rachel_Thorn American puritanism created these kind of monsters. And worse ones at the Catholic church.

@screwtape @ramin_hal9001 @sacha

GNU was always about giving power to the user. Linux as a kernel was just a convenience. With Hurd an user could mount disks and remote FS' without suid at all. And OFC a vehicle to run Emacs.

@mdhughes @ramin_hal9001 @masso @screwtape @sacha then there's sectorlisp

@screwtape @sacha @masso as far as I can tell, Emacs was one of the first Lisp implementations for Unix systems, and it was free to use, so it would have probably become pretty popular for that reason. Both the GNU project and Emacs had got started before Common Lisp was even standardized. In those days, Lisp was being implemented mostly on mainframes and minicomputers, on the Xerox Alto, and on bespoke hardware like in the case of Symbolics. But this was in parallel to development of Unix, and so Unix maybe wasn’t as widely used or popular enough at the time for anyone to bother porting Lisp to it until the 1980s after GNU started cloning Unix.

So there may well have been other Lisp implementations on Unix or it’s clones, but I don’t know enough about pre-1980s Lisp. I don’t even know what computer Steele and Sussman used to implement the first Scheme.

@peron lambdamoo aún persiste

@amszmidt @mdhughes @ramin_hal9001 @masso @screwtape @sacha its, but maclisp was a separate program.

@senda es como el mío, es muy inteligente.

@collectifission better nuclear than coal, but I wish bacteria existed to process the waste producing harmless output.
