  • Well, pre-2000 is quite a strong limitation here. In the last 25 years in programming, basically everything changed. It’s hard to find anything older than 25 years that’s even still relevant.

    But I would say Lisp, or what it brings, mainly the ability to do meta-programming, using code to change/generate code. It basically solves what AI is being used now to solve, namely generating boilerplate code. In many languages, there is just so much shit you have to write to get to the actual creating a solution, problem solving part, which you can very cleanly circumvent with meta-programming, greatly reducing the mental load necessary to understand programs if used correctly. But, like many things, it’s hard to use, easily misused, and thus requires you to be very smart about it. Many programming features and conventions and so on attempt to basically safeguard you from incompetent programmers, or rather allowing you to work with incompetent programmers without them being a detriment more than a benefit. Needing to decipher arcane macros is quite challenging indeed.

    There are a couple of Lisps newer than 2000, like Clojure, which I would have mentioned without your limit, and which I’m now circumventing by talking about what the limit prevents me to do.




  • That’s a good question, but I’d rather like to know if you have ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?

    Most things you can do with your money are unethical, i.e. support a bad system that unnecessarily hurts people.

    As far as that goes though, imo visiting the DPRK is a relatively bad one. I don’t see the benefit for yourself, you get to see a tour of exactly what they want you to see, nothing real will ever be experienced. You put yourself in massive danger, tourists there have been detained and killed. All the money you spend goes directly to support the authoritarian government, which only seems to care about giving themselves a life of luxury and their people barely enough so they can maintain their luxury.

    You do get a view of an authoritarian regime working firsthand, which is a positive, but I just feel like it’s already good/bad enough to know about it than having experienced it yourself.

    So yeah, imo massive amount of reasons against, almost none for.
