>On LISP’s approximate 21st anniversary, no doubt something could be said about coming of age, but it seems doubtful that the normal life expectancy of a programming language is three score and ten. In fact, LISP seems to be the second oldest surviving programming language after Fortran, so maybe we should plan on holding one of these newspaper interviews in which grandpa is asked to what he attributes having lived to 100.

Giving names to kinds of loops (like map and reduce) was a big step forward in programming. What language did it first? What language implemented the first map function?

In that time, they've been porting features from Lisp to their language of choice. Even macros exist in some non-Lisp languages. Those who know have appreciated the power of Lisp for a long time even if it's not their favorite.

Is this any good?

>>103225144
performance is scripting-lang tier, but it's so damn comfy
even the webshitter frameworks are nice

I love the idea of Guix, but it's too slow, clunky, and has too many rough edges to work as a daily OS. I felt like I was spending more time configuring my system than actually using it. Granted, I tried it about a year ago. Does anyone disagree? Is it just a skill issue?

>>103225423
nah, i was on guix for a couple of months, packaged a ton of shit and eventually got tired of all the little issues building up (even something as small as flatpaks not having access to system fonts) and packaging more complex software
i just use it on top of a normal distro now

>>103225144
I am very interested in it because:
- it has the niceties of a garbage collector, but due to running on the BEAM (which sounds fucking cool as hell btw), which was designed for soft realtime systems, the GC runs per-process and will never pause the world (it can do this because processes never share memory).
- has a solid standard library, and allows you to directly call on Erlang's standard library (which includes a bunch of shit, even Mnesia, an in-memory database that can also persist data to disk).
- concurrency/parallelism is integral to the language, and is represented via the actor model.
- distributed computing is integral to the language and communication across machines is no different than sending messages to local actors is.
- it is a very introspective environment, which leads to easy serialization (see https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.17.3/Macro.html#to_string/1), amongst other things (including live analysis of active systems).
- if you are into webdev, then apparently the Phoenix framework, when combined with Liveview, is one of the most pleasurable ways to implement webapps.
- Ecto is considered one of the best SQL interaction "frameworks" available, and supports migrations.
- if you run into a compute-heavy problem that involves lots of number crunching, then you can use Rustler in order to have the BEAM (FUCK I LOVE THAT NAME) directly interface with Rust via NIFs, or you can rawdog C if you feel masochistic. you can also easily send messages over an OS socket to a separate process too, of course.

it is of course a functional programming language, so recursion and such are a must. it also has entirely immutable data structures. I am like this so far, because it prevents me from trying to get very imperative and autistically speeding things up for code that might get ran 3x per day and will run for less than 5 seconds anyway. I have too many damn projects to work on to do that, and again, if I really do need speed, Rust NIFs exist.

>>103225521
Sounds good, but why prefer it to Clojure?

>>103225521
oh yeah it also has a wonderful implementation of pattern matching, which can be used with function guards in order to implement a form of multiple-dispatch, among other things
protocols exist too

>>103225578
what's a protocol in this context?

>>103225537
idk, never tried Clojure. the JVM scares me, and I think (you would have to confirm this yourself) consumes more memory than the BEAM.
also the JVM garbage collectors do have to pause the world at some point, which irks me, but is likely not a concern for most projects

JVM Clojure is a memory hog alright, but you can also compile it to JS or Dart and from there to native code (using bun for js) which cuts down on memory usage and start-up time significantly.

- Take this long line with a leading "->" at the front.

-> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

- Put your cursor on the first capital "L" and hit `C-x .`.
- Select the whole line.
- Do `M-x fill-paragraph`.

End Result:

-> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
-> eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim
-> ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
-> aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in
-> reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla
-> pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in
-> culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Instead of "-> " that leading text could be all kinds of things. Usually it was ">" like our

guix still isn’t ready for all use cases imho though, so ymmv. but i kind of think it’s more ready than you would immediately assume just reading the manual if that makes sense.

>>103225611
The JVM's memory consumption is not as linear as the BEAM's with the number of threads. I guess that for intense workloads you'll see the JVM consume less memory than the BEAM.
If you like actors that's another matter. OTP is also full of good ideas so I'm not hear to bash the platform.
Hickey did have some good arguments against pattern matching.
For one off scripts just use whatever you like but consider babashka has smaller footprint than a JVM Clojure process and starts faster.

by the way, pull is ass slow because it recompiles the entire guix repository, and you can't distribute/mirror that compiled guix to other local machines either. that problem is only going to get worse as guix gets bigger.

>>103232121
>>no modular operating system definitions
>>clunky object inheritance

I created macros to work around that but I really shouldn't have to, if declaring the OS config in a programming language is part of the selling point, it should be modular out of the box.

>>103232144

good morning sirs

what are you boomers using this glorified calculator scripting language for in modern day anyway? from this thread I can only assume Emacs scripting or Guix/NixOS scripting.

>>103225537
Developer experience. If I wasn't predisposed to enjoying lisps, I'd probably use Elixir or F# more.

Setting up Clojure is kinda ass, especially because some projects are using Leiningen, others deps.edn. Elixir is more consistent, and for what a lot of people are doing, Phoenix provides a standard that Clojure doesn't really have.

Clojurescript is also a dumpster fire of trying to keep up with React badly.

>>103246858
I, too, would like to know this. iirc the first jack and daxter had some common lisp

>>103246951
I agree, Clojure's kind of ass UX-wise, you either try doing things ezmode style with lein or learn deps.edn, etc. And even then you still kind of have to bear the fact that it's a hosted language in mind whenever you fuck something up and get a stacktrace that doesn't tell you anything useful unless you Already Know what they mean within the Clojure abstraction atop the jvm.

I've actually been thinking of just biting the bullet and programming in CL, but CL's not functional and it's missing Clojure's syntactic sugar with the square braces and whatnot. It's kind of a shame because I really like how lisp can work as a kind of lingua franca, where knowing one means you know most of all the rest. But lisps, at least from my perspective always seem to suffer from some kind of fatal glitch - CL's kind of old and I'm not sure what its 'best practices' for things actually are - Clojure's error messages leave a lot to be desired. - Julia's nice but it's just a glue lang for C - I hear Racket's good, but then I never really see anything built with it.

I feel like the Lisper is doomed to simply accept the warts 'pon his favoured dialect and use it as their hobbylang of choice. We are martyrs on the altar of Algol.

>>103247548
>and I'm not sure what its 'best practices' for things actually are

>>103247880
Elixir has IEX but it is nowhere near the level of Common Lisp, with its retaining of the entire callstack/state upon erring.

>>103247548
It's a shame. Actually working in Clojure is quite nice, but the fractured build tools and decision fatigue of as a beginner figuring out which of set of similar libraries actually makes sense to use really sucks.

It seems doomed, however. The community isn't growing, so there's no push for good UX for beginners (which trickles up into making things less tedious for experts) the same way Elixir for example has with its ex-Rails guys.

Neil has made deps.edn useable for me

>>103246951
>Setting up Clojure is kinda ass, especially because some projects are using Leiningen, others deps.edn
It's not *hard*, but it's certainly not easy. Maybe simple ;)
Most projects today use deps.edn. I'm not even sure it's easier to start with lein, as a working deps.edn file is just `{}`, but there are certainly more moving pieces.
I must say I've had to wrangle and fight lein one too many times to want to ever use it again. Some people whose opinions I appreciate still use it. Conclusion? Clojure people care about UX less than Elixir devs do.
Have you looked at Neil? It's a convenient lein like tool for deps
https://github.com/babashka/neil
Phoenix is impressive, true, but have you looked at Electric Clojure? It can do things other languages can only dream of.
Besides the UX of setting up Clojure projects, the DX is great, especially with CIDER.
And I must say I enjoy how permissive / loosey goosey deps is. You can have source dependencies. Dependency coordinates can be in git, file system or maven. You can override dependencies with local dependencies. You can add dependencies live to a running process.
IDK man it's quite cozy.

This makes the utf-8 header encoded as us-ascii, so it's possible that the request to the API is fucked from the start; that's why the API return ? in place of utf-8 characters. Investigating.

>Julia's nice but it's just a glue lang for C
Pervasive multimethods makes program design in Julia really interesting. The polymorphism feels so fine-grained, and it doesn't break or get awkward like in classical OO languages. Julia rejects OO but has tons of polymorphism.

I fixed it. The problem is the line

(unless (= (string-bytes request)
               (length request))
      (error "Multibyte text in HTTP request: %s" request))

in the function `url-http-create-request'.
Comment it out, encode the input, and decode the output make the result renders correctly now.
