Copyleft licences are the only true free software licences. All other open source licenses are just proprietariable.

I want to make a food (maybe chocolate) the exact dimensions of of a lightbulb so I can try this safely. I really think I could take it out.

well, the : String is supposed to be optional right? type inference should know what it is. In truth though, return type polymorphism makes us write more type annotations than I would like.

Well, given that it could fit in, it could come out the same way. I have a rather large face hole, so I think it could fit. Is the meme meant to be that the lightbulb is too big for most people to even get in?

proprietariable just means the code can be taken and rerelased as proprietary (no freedoms all rights reserved).

It is clearly pizza

"save" is a bit of misnomer. The animals are forcibly bred into a life of pure suffering. That is what they are being saved from. The less demand for animal torture, the less the industry needs to breed.

One does not need to be Hindu to have compassion and recognize other sentient beings' right to life.

Using - is much nicer.

Outer Wilds. It isn't the whole game, but there are parts that will chill you to the bone.

I think the bigger problem is that they are hard to write and sometimes break tooling.

I've been using Guix system for a couple years and am really liking it. I got a new computer and put popos on it for the seamless Nvidia drivers, but I still have guix package manager and Guix system on other computers.

• Common Lisp. I basically only use SBCL. It has good introspection, restarts, and source analysis for debugging. I mainly write theoretical research code that doesn't depend on calling into the JVM or C++ code. I do try to keep my code portable, so I will check with other implementations from time to time.

• I use GNU Emacs and Sly (though I am thinking of trying Lem). I don't use any structural editing outside of Emacs' built in electric-pair-mode, show-paren-mode, and expand-region (not built in). I don't even use rainbow delimiters anymore. I get all my Common Lisp dependencies from GNU Guix. It is very pleasant to use and is rolling release. In addition to Guix, I use cl-guix-utils, which adds live loading of dependencies quicklisp style.

• I first learned Racket then Emacs Lisp (both in college). Emacs lisp was more pleasant due to its interactive and self documenting nature. I wanted to write real programs; Common Lisp looked and felt more like Emacs Lisp (but better). I started learning Common Lisp primarily with the "Lisp for the web" series. I was hooked. I learned more mainly through reading the hyperspec, studying other people source code and reading articles. I didn't read any of the famous books until I recently read "Practical Common Lisp". I already knew pretty much everything it had to offer. I wish I had read it sooner.

its makes more sense to say "a pizza slice". using "of" in this way is from french.

Why not call it lemmy.el?

I wonder what happens when an elevator panic!s.

Isn’t this (in-package ...) form just a namespace feature?

It is not only a namespace feature; it is first class. You can use find-package to fetch a package object and pass it around and manipulate. It looks like this can be done to some extent in C# as well.

For C# namespaces, exports carry over to different uses of the same namespace, but using statements go out of scope at the end of the current namespace use. That signals to me that imports are not related at all to namespaces. It seems that C++ acts similarly. From what I can tell Both C# and C++ allow for fully qualified names without any sort of import.

I have to agree with you about Rust: they goofed it up my trying to make too many rules about which libraries and symbols can be used in which places.

You might need to package it.
