This port of the CL condition system to Jolt looks interesting. Haven't been through it in detail, but the write-up on it, at a quick glance, looks thorough. https://reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/1wr299y/cl_conditions_and_restarts_in_jolt/ (I don't know what Jolt is either, but I guess a Clojure library or DSL. since it's on their subreddit.) EDIT: I see the Foralero package, which I did not look up because the name did not immediately suggest conditions, is probably the real source. I'm not a Clojure user so just stumbled into this by chance. https://github.com/IGJoshua/farolero #CommonLisp #lisp #ConditionHandling #ErrorHandling #ErrorSystem #clojure

#reminder that in about two hours, at 0UTC Wednesday ("Tuesday night"), we will be discussing Nathaniel Borenstein's new autobiographical book The Spirit of a Cyborg, and #ai and #ethics from someone who defined parts of how the internet we use every day work four decades ago, providing a long view of AI from Weizenbaum, Winograd, Minsky, Papert up to present day with a serious eye towards the future. I'll make the proper show toot in about an hour. Last minute questions please! + #emacs #lisp

If anyone wants to learn Forth, there’s a fantastic interactive tutorial here, with inbuilt interpreter. https://skilldrick.github.io/easyforth/ I wanted to use #lisp for retro development, but its memory requirements turn out to be quite complicated in practice for limited devices. #forth is even more bare-bones than Lisp, so it’s piqued my interest. It’s basically a small virtual machine with dictionary lookup that you can program. #programming #retrocomputing #software

@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz As you may know, I had an exchange about with with @jhlagado@jorts.horse about whether there was genuinely something magical about Z80s as a substrate (mostly virtual now, formerly mostly real) for computing. Or whether it was retro kitsch. This is similar to [dartmouth+] #basic and #lisp in different ways, though they are both spawn of that dartmouth workshop on AI in the mid-50s. But basic was basically an attainable home computer, and lisp was sort of commentary on fortran list macros.
