RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116643132796222151

In 1990 Dr. Peter Lee's 15-212 course at #CarnegieMellon introduced me to Scheme. It's also when I first came to comprehend the power of #Emacs and #EmacsLisp.

In the first hour, Professor Lee demonstrated elegantly that everything is a list: data are lists and programs are lists. Every list returns a value, and functions are just lists that do calculations! Functions can return lists, of course, and so you can write functions that return functions!

I ran to the lab to hack Lisp: it wasn't in your pocket, it was in a room worth more than your parents' house. Nothing had ever seemed more natural: write, evaluate, repeat. Hack a nugget, nest lists, add parentheses, hack bigger things. But the magic thing where you write code that returns code remained a mystery: we did lots of cool stuff in that course, but we never got to macros.

Until 2026.

The surprise? The surprise is that as each decade passes, I grow to cherish lifelong learning as more and more precious.

#lisp #scheme #repl #macro #cmu

It's not about the product, it's about learning.

I just marginally improved one of my trivial little packages (that helps me a lot!).

I finally (finally) wrapped my head around the concept (and the syntax) of Lisp macros in #EmacsLisp. Finally.

Okay, here it is. Public for the first time.

`(message "Hello, world!")`... I guess?

More seriously: we are a local user group dedicated to #Emacs, the powerful customisable text editor, and to #EmacsLisp, its programming language. This Fediverse account is to keep you posted on our initiatives, including our monthly meet-ups.

More info soon at https://emacs.london.

Many thanks to @hachyderm for having us here. 🙏
