@nothappy No, PyCharm.

@Gregozor2121 Heard that it was hacked together using Perl

@Ubbe Lisp, in its purest, does not contain any syntax-dedicated structures other than groupings and literals, which makes all features indistinguishable from a library.

The implications are huge!

Just imagine a language that's... Complete.
Where modern features, DSLs, are as simple to get as a "package-manager install".

Take async functions as an example:
"async function" is a popular modern language feature that has found its way into Javascript, Python, C#, and more.
Other languages, such as Go, chose a different approach with the 'go' keyword.

In Lisp, you don't have to wait for an update: You can implement this yourself!
You can implement it so that it looks like the async keyword:
"(defn myfunc [] (print-lol))"
to
"(async-defn myfunc[] (print-lol))"
and voila!

or you can say "nah, I like the 'go' keyword better", and it's very much possible to implement.

Everything is possible! it's incredible!

@gat0r You CAN use Python altough it's certainly not the greatest at functional programming..
What I would recommend however, is that you try Hy
It's a Lisp dialect embedded into Python that's pretty much feature-complete!
"pip install hy" and you're good to go 😊

Every paradigm can be expressed in a complicated fashion, given the opportunity.

@ganjaman everyone needs functional programming, even if only a little

Jesus christ - I still have no clue why people despise the fact that GitHub is owned by Microsoft.

I mean, Microsoft has done some bad, of course. But as of late, they were terrific!
Typescript; visual studio code (with extensions for C# or C/C++ as an alternative for the regular visual studio); They provided great support for the Linux foundation; They finally switch it up for Chromium in the web-browsing department..

They only improved GitHub so far!
This very post? About free private repositories? GOOD news!!

@nam17887 yeah, not dead yet.

Recently, I've experienced a terrible argument with one of my teammates... It was so bad that afterwards when I returned home I thought I was sick.
Headache, stomachache, couldn't eat, couldn't drink, you name it..
And *right after* I called my boss and told him I wouldn't make it to work the next day - I felt better.

I told my boss yesterday that I quit..

...are you pushing directly to Master?

I learned a couple of languages over the years, including Java, Javascript, C#, C++, Scala (which I'm terrible at), Kotlin (which I've recently pushed to be used at my job!), and Go..

But if I have to pick favorites, it would have to be Rust.
The macro system is INSANE; Testing is easy and intuitive; The type system is really elegant; and the final executable will be fast with guaranteed memory safety which is just insane all things considered..

BUT, until the Rust ecosystem matures, when assigned a new project - my language of choice will be Python.
While usually I'm against the whole dynamically-typed imperative languages, Python has gone a long way in its latest iterations. Type hinting + mypy eliminates common pit-falls of dinamically-typed languages, so that's not really a problem anymore..
That, and the fact that testing is almost trivial (and mocking, thanks to the dynamic nature of Python), makes the ecosystem one that I feel comfortable with to deliver a great product.

That's awful mate.. Very sorry to hear.
Hang in there! Things will be better!

@AmbiScript If I offended you - my sincere apologies.

@AmbiScript I truly despise Python with every fiber of my being.
But my workplace continues to produce unmanageable garbage-fire quality of keyboard-diarrhea, all in Python. While it remains the wrong tool for the job, and a bad decision on any caliber. It's popular, thus used, and thus:my fucking problem.

@CodeNoir that would be lovely, but we have a private network.. And no docker inside

IMO Microsoft HAS improved over the years..
