That said, a BBS was an incredibly complex piece of software to cover in a single book. 2025-01-30T18:44:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr57qrjyn0m5eargwjwpcjgm2dwlfm2ntp5ggy0zkrsku93297yhqzyqlg77xq2x07tqfta630rskuhea2cppz5c8mc09tp0t6m8d9st67vexzzjv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstmnnj724se23j0l7kw3q7tatlz77kxed46gwc995254r57uf9g5qezdg0a'>nevent1q…dg0a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s a misunderstanding of &#34;times&#34; in Lisp that leads people to mistakenly think that their non-Lisp languages have REPLs too. 2024-11-13T19:20:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstmnnj724se23j0l7kw3q7tatlz77kxed46gwc995254r57uf9g5qzyqlg77xq2x07tqfta630rskuhea2cppz5c8mc09tp0t6m8d9st67vcy5mmj One of the toughest concepts that new Lisp programmers encounter is that they suddenly have to consider different &#34;times&#34; in the lifecycle of their programs. Without a firm grasp on the various &#34;times&#34;, topics like macros and even REPLs themselves are needlessly opaque. 2024-11-13T19:19:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdkvqkhk45yfekkjfxucced5q0gtq2r59qjpclng40cg9yexyu56szyqlg77xq2x07tqfta630rskuhea2cppz5c8mc09tp0t6m8d9st67vhzg2la In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswn5seh6mpu2praffykj5w2zdzuch94zd2g8ex6nhff5fw4ydhlqcczyma0'>nevent1q…yma0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the main goal was to nerd snipe. 2024-11-11T18:05:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy6fe6ketlkmwujehsx6h4qmqaler77qstu7cvnzfcqfntujdpwcgzyqlg77xq2x07tqfta630rskuhea2cppz5c8mc09tp0t6m8d9st67vp06hkn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8msqttjah6lwatzzcacudw87z6m4lkyw9ct5tug08rl2p7n9mw4qhzfj2a'>nevent1q…fj2a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How about:<br/><br/>_ PUSH<br/>^ POP<br/>~ DROP<br/>&amp; DUP<br/>% OVER<br/>?
