That's not true. I was one of the idiots who bought it on release day but I eventually got a (Steam credit) refund after a lot of back and forth. And there were several other people on the Egosoft forums who got a refund as well.

Interesting. I think you're on to something here. The wikia stuff seems to have been created in August 2013. The subreddit /r/cicada appears to be 11 month old, but the article implies that Eriksson discovered it in the begin

The article is conflating stuff and is just FUD. You don't need certs to apply asymmetric cryptography. As I understand it, the NSA could insert itself as a so-called "Men in the Middle" (aka MITM Attack). See this SO questio

I am familiar with this line of reasoning and I have read the Joy of Clojure. I can't say that I agree though. The article you linked is just opinion and doesn't back up its arguments at all. Afaict, it really boils down to "

I think we have already established that TCO is not necessary to be a Lisp (CL, Emacs Lisp). While it's true that Clojure doesn't have a proper numeric tower it does have bignum support and arbitrary precision math operators whic
17.
by hkolek 13y ago
Exactly my point. I was just using CL as example because I think it would be hard to argue that it is not a Lisp yet the standard doesn't guarantee TCO. > What is a lisp? It's a very good question. I think PG sums it up quite n
18.
by hkolek 13y ago
But afaik TCO is only a requirement for Scheme implementations, not for e.g. Common Lisp (i.e. you don't need to implement TCO to satisfy the Common Lisp standard). I don't see how the lack of TCO prevents it from being a valid Li

by hkolek 13y ago
I agree, but I'm wondering what you think is missing or broken in Clojure to prevent it from being a Lisp? Sure, it sits on top of the Java type system and one major thing I can think of that is lacking is the condition system (althoug
