​Hi Xah. Last time I asked what your programming language would look like if you designed one. Do you have time to go into it today?

Justin Heyes-Jones
​Good morning Xah

BartholomewJS
​I waited for your schedule... Now I missed 2 minutes of your scream, thanks.

George
​Bart the stream seemed to start after he was already talking about stallman

George
​Might be a glitch

BartholomewJS
​@George I am talking about the notification that tells you when the stream will start in the future.

​hi

Elliot Alderson
​do you have a forum on your website

BartholomewJS
​@Elliot Alderson I am working on it.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee is your e-mail for PayPal the same I can write a message to you?

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I despise Reddit. Absolutely.

Xah Lee
​xah @ xahlee org

mat5ch
​good day

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee No I mean the e-mail you read the emails.

Elliot Alderson
​why don't you like reddit

BartholomewJS
​@Elliot Alderson Reddit is by design extremely unorganized. Maybe good for 12 year olds quickly getting some Fortnite ideas off their head, but not for people who talk about interesting and

BartholomewJS
​@Elliot Alderson perhaps complicated topics that can't survive without organization.

BartholomewJS
​@Elliot Alderson That said, it is ugly and the way of communicating there is not very intelligent, from my point of view.

George
​Reddit is totally controlled by troll farms

mat5ch
​i like reddit for people like the patient vimmer and xah lee ofc xD

mat5ch
​in general, its very hard to find good info tho

BartholomewJS
​@mat5ch So you like the people but not Reddit itself, don't you. 😁

mat5ch
​😀

George
​Anything political on reddit, assume one or more groups are working hard to control the narrative

BartholomewJS
​@mat5ch And that is why I find Reddit generally pointless... Why join a forum if you can't find what you're looking for...

George
​Same with twitter

BartholomewJS
​@George Please don't let me get chemo therapy again. Please no Twitter or Facebook.

Elliot Alderson
​is linux a valid option if you are too broke for apple

Xah Lee
​On Lisp http://xahlee.info/comp/lisp_index.html

BartholomewJS
​@Elliot Alderson Yes, though it always depends on your needs.

mat5ch
​@Xah Lee nice stream title btw

BartholomewJS
​Brb 20 mins.

mat5ch
​a recently saw a talk where language design was a topic, i think it was about the cursive ide. one point was that when creating a language the tooling system around it is very important

mat5ch
​u talk a lot about syntax but there are so many factors that make a great language

mat5ch
​*programming lang

mat5ch
​i didnt mean that syntax is not important

mat5ch
​how would you rank those factors: syntax, documentation, tooling, community...?

mat5ch
​i have to in a few mins

mat5ch
​*go

mat5ch
​gtg, cu!

Justin Heyes-Jones
​Yes, still here, interesting stuff !

Justin Heyes-Jones
​XD

Justin Heyes-Jones
​It's interesting that Clojure programmers don't really encourage using macros. In Common Lisp it was sold as the programmable programming language and you should go crazy with macros

Justin Heyes-Jones
​😁

Justin Heyes-Jones
​there is some limited support

Justin Heyes-Jones
​their focus is more on immutability and parallel support

Justin Heyes-Jones
​👍
