  1. 🚀🎩 Behold, the miraculous 7-line wonder that lets you toss together a Turing-complete #language in less time than it takes to microwave your leftover pizza! 🤯🥧 Who knew that the secret to computational enlightenment was simply reading the cliff notes of #SICP while pretending real-world programming languages aren't like, a thing. 🙄📖

    I would recommend looking into Scheme, which is a revised, modern Lisp invented in the 70s.

    While imperative style is prominent in Lisp, it is commonly frowned upon in Scheme, which still allows imperative style but encourages functional programming.

    The canonical book is SICP, mitp-content-server.mit.edu/bo

  17. Mobilitätssymposium 2026

    Das #NeMo Mobilitätssymposium 2026 in #Paderborn bot einen sehr gelungenen Rahmen für den Austausch über die Zukunft der #Mobilität und hatte fantastische Referent*innen auf dem Plan. Es standen innovative Ansätze und gemeinsame Perspektiven im Mittelpunkt – von der skalierbaren Nutzung von Fahrzeug- und Mobilitätsdaten über den Einsatz von KI-Agenten und erklärbaren KI-Modellen bis hin zu autonomen Anwendungen auf Straße und Schiene. Deutlich wurde insbesondere das große […]

  23. @superketchup @splatt9990 a classmate in the #CS program I flunked out of in college once told me: "Other #programming languages teach you how to program. #Lisp teaches you how to think." I've been thinking about that statement for the last 25 years, and every few years I attempt to dust off #emacs and my copy of #sicp to no avail. But I'm never going to get any thinkier unless I start working at it now.

  28. @rauschma It is six months until April. How about we collaborate on a type-level typescript edition of SICP, to drop on 2026-04-01?

  35. I'm on to my third programming example in #Lua : calculating square roots using the Heron of Alexandria trial and error method. This time it only took me an hour and a half to wrestle with the correct syntax. I originally wanted to make it a recursive algorithm like in the #sicp lecture but maybe for that I should really just use #lisp.
