Bit surprised at negativity about my lisp comments -- I am infatuated with the elegance of Scheme out of all proportion to its relevance

OK, let's have a look at this.

------------------------------------------------------------

<ID_AA_Carmack> Is there a formal lisp dialect with no undefined behavior?
<jb55> closest thing I could think of is Shen http://www.shenlanguage.org


The first recommendation is shen, this stupid hipster bullshit written by an egotist who doesn't understand type systems or freedom.

<ID_AA_Carmack> That is one of the things I don't care for about scheme. Elegant simplicity, but not as rigorous as I would like.
<quadricode> Scheme pioneered rigor with its mathematical underpinnings, namely its single page of formal denotational semantics.


Knights of the TOLD republic. Carmack is clueless.

some faggot hipster with a pixel art avatar chimes in:

<dysoco> I'd say take a look at Qi or Shen, maybe Arc. But I'm also interested in knowing if there's a secure Lisp dialect.

some dumbasses who doesn't understand godels theorem or know what a language is chimes in:

<infogulch> are you asking for a language that is both consistent and complete?
<tom_forsyth> If there is, Godel says it's not very interesting.


------------------------------------------------------------

<ID_AA_Carmack> I play around with Lisping on iPad while on plane flights; it usually leaves me considering what niche lisp could still usefully occupy.
<swanodette> one of the best optimizing compilers written in Scheme http://icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu/dybvig-talk.pdf , are high quality production compilers niche?
<cemeric> Gentle suggestion: maybe evaluating an entire language family based on iPad editors/impls isn't a good strategy?


HAH HA HA HA HA FUCKING GIGATOLD.

<darinmorrison> I think there’s room for a fancy typed lisp based on ideas from generalized multicategories and polynomial functors/opetopes

math... I doubt anyone knows wtf you're talking about. This guys hair shows he ate much haskell in the 60s.

<adam_hill> Niche #1: Space flight! http://www.flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html #lisp #space

neat.

LOL he keeps trolling, ever time he gets his ass handed to him it just makes him more vicious!

<nega> as someone we respect, you make glib clickbait comment about what we know you're not an expert in, and your're surprised?

you tell em buddy

<jrychter> well, there is a useful lisp, it’s called #clojure, and it’s growing. People use it for large systems, but quietly, no drama.

<Johnathan_Blowhard> I think Lisp is in a separate enough neighborhood from most other languages that it invites that weird tribalism.

What absolute rubbish.. he is just completely out of touch.

<ID_AA_Carmack> @nega "Niche" was positive--I want to find a way to use it. I stand by the env comment--functions depending on mutable global state is bad.

so in the end he just expressed himself in a slightly unclear way and got jumped on.
