@KatS I've never really learned it but its pretty easy to find what you're looking for. Elisp is just fun because its so interactive and immediately useful.
@rml ah, the compiler that single-handedly defeated the Nazis during the second world war. I get the sense that we again have a need nowadays for some good Nazi-smashing technology.
I have never tried Stalin, but I think it is R5RS only, and that would make it a bit difficult to run on the majority of my code which is R7RS.

@rml "git grep" wont work as-is because it is encoded in the source code with ROT-13, so you would have to grep for the ROT-13 encoded string for "COMMUNISM" in order to find it. They aren't stupid enough to leave a subliminal clue like that as plain text right there in the source code.
@rml i use emacs, develop mastodon.el, and follow the emacs hashtag on the fedi in emacs, for the sole purpose of coming upon toots such as these!
i especially like your curve ball of elisp and not scheme being the mandatory 1st prog lang. you gotta start with something maximally janky and minimally cool, otherwise you're not really a commie but some fake hipster knock off, an enemy of the people.
was it a ruse of history that the emacs devs made commie tech without knowing what they were doing? they were surely no reds.
@mousebot
It will all become increasingly more interesting if there is a great leap forward where we must smash the four olds: The Teletype, The File, The OS Kernel and Broken Builds
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of lang struggle.
Compiled and interpreted, AOT and JIT, static and dynamic, IDE and REPL; in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary construction of a metacircular evaluator, or in the common ruin of the contending compilers.
