#parentheses — Public Fediverse posts

🚀 Oh joy, another "friendly" intro to a #language that's older than the moon landing and just as user-friendly as a Rubik's cube with missing pieces. 🌌 Lisp: where you can discover the mind-bending thrill of writing #parentheses nested within parentheses nested within parentheses until your brain explodes. 🧠✨

💻 Ah, #Lisp, #the #programming language that looks like someone spilled alphabet soup all over your code editor. 🤓 Apparently, the secret to mastering Lisp is to #embrace the #chaos and hope that #parentheses breeding like rabbits will somehow lead to enlightenment. 🙄 If only the "road to Lisp" came with a map... or maybe just fewer detours into #madness. 🛣️

Graham's epic #struggle with Scheme continues: the language that defies his sticky notes and blog titles alike. 🤦‍♂️ After years of bouncing off, you'd think he'd choose a new hobby, like knitting or underwater basket weaving. 🧶💦 But no, he prefers public self-flagellation on his quest to maybe, someday, understand #parentheses. 🎯

Ah, the thrilling world of #parentheses 🤔! Because clearly, the burning issue on everyone's mind is how to "ungroup" expressions in #programming languages. Let's all pretend this is groundbreaking stuff and not just #overthinking #syntax until our brains implode 🧠💥.

Bozhidar Batsov, a self-proclaimed "Emacs fanatic" and "lover of #parentheses," spent 20 minutes convincing us why we should care about F#. Spoiler alert: it's mostly about parentheses. 😏 But don't worry, you'll only need a 15-year hiatus from sanity to appreciate it fully. 💤

Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe. [1]

#aggressive #punctuation #trigger #ellipsis #octothorpe #ampersand #hyphen #caret #parentheses #brackets #braces #asterisk

[1] Why yes, Firefox spellchecker, when I typed "octothorpe" I clearly really meant to type "#clotheshorse".

Saw these cute kissing curly brackets in #Napoli, #Italy

It is #unfortunate. It would be nice if we had a fourth member to go after #parentheses, #brackets, and #braces.

I tend not to use set literals, preferring `set(sequence)`. Maybe it's because my brain insists they're broken #dicts.
