This is the exact reason why I keep telling myself to slow down all the time, using pen and paper, drafting the problems and solutions before getting my hands dirty, writing them down and writing them bold. One tip I learn from my current

And what does it have anything to do with C++ compared to any other language X? The bare-metal characteristics could be created as a subset of any non-safe non-garbage-collected language.

I agree on the overhead. There are information available only at run-time that could be (and actually has been, in case of interpreter like PicoLisp) used to have better optimization compared to compiled code. It isn't technically fa

That said, it's a about the implementation not the language itself. The phrase is technically incorrect, right? One could write a compiler that compiles Python or Ruby down to machine language without the interpretation overhead, and

I don't think it has anything to do the relationship between the language and its (compiler/interpreter) performance. Besides, the subset of a large number or programming language could be considered bare metal, right? If so, wh

I don't think it's fair to separate the code and the software itself. I personally don't feel proud of the result of a piece of software if the code is crappy, i.e. spaghetti code, (almost) unreadable, unmaintainable, ... I

by cmpitg 11y ago
Perhaps a bit off-topic but serious question. I don't understand whenever someone says language A is next to bare metal? What does a language have anything to do with bare metal or performance? Isn't it the compiler/interp

You might want to combine Geiser with Quack[1] for best result with Scheme. Also, I think it's worth a shot to have a look at the fairly new Racket-mode[2] written by Greg[3]. Geiser + Quack are rather old and for Scheme in general,

My bad, you're right. I didn't know the documentation section for macro was added recently. It looks pretty Common Lispy. Reader macro looks nice, still at its beginning stage though.

by cmpitg 13y ago
I've been following Hy for a while and it's sad that macros are still part of on-going discussions with no definite plan. It's one of the reason I prefer Scheme-inspired Lisps to Common Lisp. Hy just looks Lispy but it&#x27

How do you make sure the correctness of the implementations? Shouldn't there be tests?

Well, I personally don't think they do imply the same thing from a user's perspective. * Google, Facebook, Twitter, ... have become so well-known brands comparing to the new Persona. Normal users could quickly get a sense of what "Sign in w

So how about something like "Sign in to ABC with Persona", or "Sign in to ABC with Personal using your email" (more specific)?

TRAMP & eshell would help you achieve 100% your local Emacs productivity on remote machines, and 100% smaller (you actually don't need to install anything on remote machine) :-)

Not really. Emacs Lisp is really powerful but not a beautiful language. The APIs are unnatural and sometimes inconsistent to those who come from non-Lisp background. I got to write tons of "immediate" APIs to make things prettier. No namesp

Not really. Macro makes your washing machine a "generic" one, where you could wash your clothes and your cups (even at the same time) :-).
