Thanks to everyone who tuned in for the talk, it was fun to explain the process out loud for the first time.

@neauoire your talk was lovely! I’ve really enjoyed learning some of the motivations behind uxn. I plan to play around with it soon, would love to get it running on my GBA.

@neauoire @bd I concur :-). The nerd in me got triggered by the "Lisp creates garbage" things though ;-).

@kototama @neauoire @bd garbage by design made me chuckle too. Very nice talk!

@kototama @bd I made enemies all over, but to be fair, i also trash talked all the other languages too ;)
Show threadKototamaNov 18, 2022
@neauoire @bd i think it's a bit unfair since all languages creates "garbage" just some collect it automatically. But the term "garbage collection" and the concept comes from John Mc Carthy so its a bit funny also :-).

@kototama @neauoire @bd I'm pretty sure they meant "don't allocate more and more memory unless absolutely necessary", and set-c*r! isn't really part of idiomatic Lisp.
