Nobody even said anything.

They seem to suffer from 'propriety hell'. It's what I call companies that made something that blew up, only in the 'clone' world. Then they started doing stupid shit like making everything propriety, instead of leaning into the open source market, and miserably failed. UNIX is an example of this. They patented Sys 7, and failed. IBM did the same shit with their PC. Now what was once 'IBM's PC' is just 'PC'. They could have just made everything open, and asked everyone to just mention their name. It took a long time for me to even realize IBM made 'the PC'.

Like consider this, it took them SEVERAL years to open source Jikes, and they STILL haven't done it fully yet

they began open sourcing it in the LATE 90s! Fuck man.

I hope so.

Verbose and ugly! Btw, check out this S-Expression parser in C I wrote several months back: https://gist.github.com/Chubek/d2f0ac9067521716d2ab31c93948e885

It's truly *easy to parse them!

Depends on what repositories/archives your Pacman pulls from. But you can just build Cool-Retro-Term yourself: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

This also has an AppImage you could use.

I do believe other people have pointed out what went on that caused this to happen. This thread was a joke, but I did learn a lot from it.

This makes so much sense! The other guy said they were planning an S-Expression language like Scheme... I think, had Netscape supported Scheme, the trajectory of the craft would change. At least we would not get so many 'durr parenthesis' memes. Just how hard is it to use [Neo]Vim when you're writing S-Expressions? it keeps highlighting the paranthesis and brackets balance as I write. What text editor do people who hate S-Expression LISP-like languages use, Emacs? Lol.

Can you give me a job at IBM? I promise I'll just suck the souls of children out, not adults. Here's my portfilo -> https://github.com/Chubek. I am submitting my implementation of ASDL to GNU you know.

Frankly one can learn any imperative language once one learns one. It's the standard library of a language and the quirks of the library that is the real challenge .The syntx of the language doesn't boggle anyone.

I used to use IE when I was like 12~13

I think I switched to FF when I was 13.5 and never looked back. Just the tabs man. I use Pop_OS! these days and a few months ago I accedentally enabled tiling, then it I realized it has tabs. I am as happy as I were back then. Tabs are a concept that were thought of too late.

btw this document mentions JScript. I don't know WTF is that but when I google normal JS comes up.

Good info dump. Can't image S-Expressions in web dev today really. Also, I did not mean it maliciously, this is a stupid thing after all.
