I found the "Little Schemer" an enjoyable tour on exorcizing the power of lisp. Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go there are a plethora of information in various AI memos as well as the READscheme web resourc

I've been using FreeBSd since 4.x. I'm assuming your referring to video drivers and the xwindowing system which is non operating system specific. I should remind you that this is a subsystem (or extension) and should be viewed fro

Shouldn't it be "A free letter to RMS" =) I have a feeling Dr. Stallman remembers EGCS, xemacs and much more. What's the old BSD saying "Shut up and hack!" ... amusing s/eliza/M-x doctor/ may als

I grew up with the one which didn't have the letter 'm' in it. The lisp/scheme concept could be seen as an alternative to vim/script for embedding/extending where the opt-in was meant for posix ex/regex pr

Sort of a lisp 1.5 with scheme style syntax. They could opt in within the rc file to allow users not interested to ignore it. Would be closer to the original vi then.

Lean C when you need to grok how memory works in computing. Learn Scheme to grok the science of computing. Learn BSD when you want to understand operating systems and the network stack. Grok engineering when you write a scheme->c transla

I enjoyed the article. Your connection your looking for is with Stephen Cole Kleene who also a student of Church just like Turing.

Consider a dynamic language to get a grounding on the abstaction. OOPS concepts make more sense in those especially if your doing windowing and graphics. May be worth it to look at smalltalk or ruby.

If he said it I believe it. I don't worry so much about Matz and the Ruby core committers breaking things.

Yeah UNIX philosophy rocks! It's weird that they want a system shell and it not be POSIX. I don't need support for index arrays in a system shell interpreter. Even erlang can be a shell and wrap around the system toolset making yo

They have the gnu info pages which comes with emacs. Man pages is a dying artform. With all the github projects out there they may have, if your lucky, a help dialog switch but no proper man page for their projects.
