14:26 verisimilitude This recent Python drama is amusing in relation to Common Lisp.
14:27 verisimilitude My Common Lisp programs still work, and will work decades from now, when Python 4 or whatever is being pushed next.
14:28 shinohai verisimilitude: what is latest python drama?
14:29 * shinohai also likes that when discovering decade+ common lisp items, they can be expected to still work with almost 0 fuss.
14:29 verisimilitude The ``Pip'' is no longer working with python 2.
14:29 shinohai Oh yeah I heard they were gonna nix support for Py2x stuff.
14:31 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-02-01#1030678 << similarly, i've built ada-83 examples that work a++ on current gnats.
14:31 snsabot Logged on 2021-02-01 14:27:12 verisimilitude: My Common Lisp programs still work, and will work decades from now, when Python 4 or whatever is being pushed next.
14:31 verisimilitude The furthest back I've gone is Ada 1995.
14:32 asciilifeform dead tree standards -- proper ones, rather than cpp-style -- are great.
14:32 snsabot Logged on 2020-08-08 15:36:33 asciilifeform: upstack re c standard -- the authors of the standard found their hands to be tied , and ~forced~ to permit 'undefined behaviour' on acct. of total lack of meaningful standardization of ~iron~, combined w/ c's intrinsic failure to insulate against various machine-specific behaviours.
14:33 verisimilitude Six of the CHIP-8 programs I've documented only previously existed as hexadecimal listings in an old magazine scan, and the newer games I've written should work in any emulator decades from now.
14:33 verisimilitude People underestimate how easy it should be to write a program and then be done with it.
14:34 verisimilitude This is, of course, a mixture of ignorance, stupidity, and cult brainwashing.
14:35 asciilifeform verisimilitude: the technical term for the 'normal' world where 'ohno, of course you can't build a 2014 proggy in 2021' etc -- is 'shit soup'.
14:37 asciilifeform it's great for 'job security' of various lamers, but otherwise a massive tax on time, money, sanity, of errybody involved with either development or use of the resulting liquishit
14:37 snsabot (agriculturalsupremacy) 2020-06-05 asciilifeform: ruby, iirc, takes this to a kind of logical conclusion -- ultimate 'job security' lang, where it is almost impossible to actually reproduce a given setup from 0. i also suspect that it is pushed by iron vendors (or at least, was, when moore's law illusion were in better health) as the thing takes ~100x the cpu cycles to do same thing even vs. perl (i.e. plays similar role to microshit's turdware during 1990s)

14:59 verisimilitude I saw a demonstration of Ruby's new ``highspeed'' ``irb'' REPL lately.
14:59 verisimilitude What took over eleven seconds to paste into a terminal ``irb'' session now only takes a third of a second. That's ``highspeed''.
15:00 verisimilitude Well, a fifth, not a third.
15:00 asciilifeform lol ( + oblig )
15:03 verisimilitude It's at the point where I'd be surprised if a naive Lisp implementation still can't easily beat these languages.
15:04 asciilifeform see also 'naggum's bathtub'.

20:04 thimbronion asciilifeform: is this still a good guide for building a gentoo system? http://thebitcoin.foundation/gentoo-stage3-amd64-nomultilib-guide.txt
~ 1 hours 46 minutes ~
21:51 asciilifeform thimbronion: mno. will ~not~ result in a working gentoo, as it features 'emerge --sync' from now-dead repos.
21:51 asciilifeform thimbronion: this + asciilifeform's retrogentoo mirror, however, will.
21:51 snsabot Logged on 2020-08-20 17:50:24 asciilifeform: Aerthean: if you use this gentoo, you will probably also want to use my packages repo . in /etc/portage/make.conf , GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://dulap.xyz/gentoo/" .
21:52 asciilifeform thimbronion: lemme know if yer setting up such a box and get stuck somewhere. i have a dozen of these going.
22:05 verisimilitude Too few understand what a compiler is, which is a representation transformer.
22:05 asciilifeform dpb: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=oanN and don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck.
22:07 verisimilitude Thus, the (likely) only sensible way to write a compiler is as a term rewriting system.
22:08 asciilifeform verisimilitude: while not untrue, it is rather like to say 'the only sensible way to build a garbage truck is as a gas-expansion system'. i.e. not usefully specific.
22:13 verisimilitude Very few aspects of typical compilers couldn't be expressed as static rulesets. Seeing a compiler express them procedurally in code is an obscenity.
22:14 verisimilitude GCC probably has more files than lines of code I've ever written.
22:16 verisimilitude Back to the original point, few even understand this.
22:17 verisimilitude Too many use the idiocy ``transpiler'' in ignorance.
22:18 verisimilitude Well, now I'm just remembering a tiny compiler I wrote which was rather procedural in nature, unfortunately.
