Nobody even said anything.

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.

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.

I give it half-baked code and ask it to complete it. Like say a few days ago, I wanted to implement NFA and Thompson Consturction. So I wrote this:

struct Transition {
   // implement this
  Transition *next;
};

struct NFA {
  // implement this
};

// and so on and so forth

This is how you get good results from it. Do half the work.

Wow are you from the future? Because I just had this exact same thought, that JS is just that 'process', so I read the ECMA-262 standard and I posted the new thread about something funny I found in it. In fact I said something that closely resembles what you said. It's just freaky!
