the swift programming language is my fault to some degree. mostly here to see dogs, shitpost, fix old computers, and/or talk about math and weird computer programming things. for effortposts check the #longpost pinned tag. asks are open.
Lispers: Lisp is the most beautiful language, so elegant that it wasn't so much created as discovered, as timeless as mathematics itself—which it of course is.
Lisp: LOL my two most common functions are named after CPU instructions from a weird-ass chip that IBM made in the 50s.
you can tell languages using fst and snd as their pair projections are actually mathematics because they’re terrified of spending so many letters in their notation
If we wanted to get terse, we could do < and >, using gt/lt for comparison
You’ve heard of lisp-1 and lisp-2. Using first/rest instead of car/cdr is how we get to lisp-3.
