    @donkulator @TeachMeCode lol, it‘s the user that I have provided for Apple that is needed to make the review for the App Store.
    I wasn’t expecting that they would write comments here 😂

    @Lensflare wow, they seriously manually test the app so intensive? Damn

    What's so amazing about scheme?

    @retoor definitely the `define-syntax` thingy but also how I can basically quote shit up, mess with it and unquote it back into regular code. Continuations are pretty awesome as well. Having decent comparison ops, a great numerical tower and ports just cherry top it

    it's just so much easier to reason about scheme code.

    Shit, sometimes I gotta bake a function or interface to avoid repeating a shitload of code and I just can't stop thinking about the overhead... Like, if it was scheme I could just cook a quick one liner macro for it and have the cake and eat it too

    @kobenz An eternity ago I’ve implemented a scheme interpreter for a uni project. From what I remember it was quite nice and interesting, but I can’t imagine developing stuff like apps or a backend with it.
    I don’t really know why. Maybe I’m just too unfamiliar with it.

    Do you think that you can practically develop anything with it or would you say that it’s only good for a specific kind of programs?

    @Lensflare as much as rust, guess

    @kobenz With rust I have no doubts.

    neither have I. With both of them. Enlightening as always, thanks, @Lensflare, I've made my choice. I'm job hunting a scheme position
