(and (lisp programming) (libre software))
What are you using lisp for?
for now, configuring neovim with fennel lisp (it compiles to lua), i just like how it works, specially the s-expressions.
i like coding as a hobby but i still haven't decided on a favorite lisp dialect
Why not emacs in evil mode? Native lisp support.
I don't know where to find any up-to-date comprehensible learning resources. Specifically about whatever "melpa" or "non-gnu elpa" are, if the package management is built-in, etc.
I have also seen a bunch of front-ends and I don't think I know what Emacs is..? Like in the Void repos there's a command-line one (emacs) but also GTK (emacs-gtk and emacs-pgtk), for example, and even an X11 (emacs-x11) one even though that's not a GUI toolkit.
Sounds cool. Was wondering if still use lisp for bigger projects. Last time I was using it was when I was studying psychology. Psychologist still used it for whatever reason back then.
Lots of Insane Stupid Parentheses
What are you working on? I'd love to learn Lisp, it looks really cool!
i've configured neovim with fennel and i made a fennel lisp port of my small neofetch-like program written in C.
for now i've only learned fennel since it targets lua but i'd love to learn something like scheme or common lisp.
