Share high-quality, well tested libraries aimed at filling an important gap in actual programming to help solve real-world problems without reinventing the wheel.

I need a wheel that will work on a gelatin surface. Would someone invent one for me?

I feel bad for FrozenVoid, to be honest.

I doubt FrozenVoid even heard about SICP.

And why does he use bat files for compilation and gcc line includes every single switch?

@gcc %1.c -o %1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILE64_SOURCE=1 -pipe -std=gnu11 -fmax-errors=1 -Wall -Wno-unused -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-label -Wno-multichar -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-unused-value -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-but-set-parameter -Ofast -fplan9-extensions -fverbose-asm -fopenmp -flto -fno-exceptions -funswitch-loops -fpeel-loops -funroll-loops -frename-registers -fno-common -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fvariable-expansion-in-unroller -fivopts -finline-limit=3000 -march=native -mtune=native -m64 -msse4.2 -fmerge-all-constants -s -lopengl32 -Wl,--stack,2097152   -Wl,-O3

Hint: you can't, he's smarter than all /prog/ combined.

And why does he use bat files

Because he's the hero /prog/ deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector.

Recursion is a terrible, inefficient model that obscures internal state. It is unsuitable for performance-oriented code unless its tail-call recursion or recursion converted to loops:the fact is stack access is SLOW.

thinking "tail-call" "recursion" needs to be re-written to loops

Mentally taxing LISP code where every function looks like the above scheme "cond" slows down the flow of programming as the user is forced to interpret each line to understand it.

why do people think they know things they don't know

Maybe LISP doesn't look that great to these people. Maybe they don't read all code with convenient formatting and code highlighters. Maybe they see prefix notation as unnatural and unintuitive.Maybe conforming all code into one model doesn't seem right to them. Maybe boundary-free code is actually harder to read.

but they know people wrote a lot of lisp code for a long time
and they know they haven't put a significant amount of time into getting used to it

why would they assume they're an expert in something they haven't used enough to know about

it's like talking about chinese after looking at the characters and thinking they're complicated
but much easier to learn than that

Chinese is in fact overcomplicated, mentally exhausting and wasteful.
The typewriters with thousands of characters that no one uses.
The memory wasted in unicode, fonts for displaying these squiggles.
Characters that actually don't have a definite meaning and are context-sensitive.
Lacks of punctuation and word-separation.

Indeed. Korean has the superior written form.
