I had someone tell me we shouldn't be using Scheme at Spritely because AI code generators aren't good at writing it

No no no

That's a huge feature

@cwebber @mrowe it is said that in those days a solid gold desktop was symbolic.

@mrowe @cwebber Depending on your definition of "desktop" lisp was never away.

We have (at workplace) the proverb that there are essentially two programming environments: macro assemblers and lisp.

@amoroso @mrowe @cwebber I think I have some nostalgia for Guix. I used it for about 6 months as my daily driver before finding my home on NixOS. I do want to give it another chance at some point though

@tarix29 I never tried Guix myself.
