Haven’t coded in Elixir in a week, and couldn’t remember how to pattern match on a map. It’s been my main language, mind you. Is this an only me problem? Or do y’all have "long term" memory wipes every week or so?
@ellyse the other day i couldn't remember how to properly define a function in scheme. i've been programming in scheme daily for the past 6 months. i felt so stupid when i snapped out of it.
@wizard@ellyse were you coding in another language or lisp? I find myself typing def when i go to write an elisp function because i'm usually in python
@pat@wizard ive been writing in nix a bit? played with some rust? so maybe that scrambles things up a bit lol i think i might actually miss elisp.. but just a little haha
@ellyse@wizard i like elisp just beause it's one of those rare live environments, like you can write some lisp to rebind the f key and hey now I can't use f anymore...in real time. I guess smalltalk was like this back in the day? if you somehow had an alto? javascript is like this but also sucks in other ways
@pat@wizard I love elisp also, I’m a former emacs addict haha now I’m trying to use Helix which doesn’t have a plugin or language system really, hard times .
@pat@wizard sometimes I ask myself this. The startup cost for a new emacs is pretty high and helix needs barely any configuration. I think I’ve just gotten lazier and lazier.
