ok but what about akkoma, it supports html
@coolbeans heh, if you swipe to switch to notifications instead of pressing the buttons the navbar doesnt update
why do ppl try to follow this account its like mega inactive
try @coolbeans more responsive there atm
@quasar at this point i dont even know, i think they might be the basis for them but they’re not one and the same
pairs have multiple values (contrary to the name, you can have a value in a pair with another pair which technically means this pair now holds 3 values…. wait are pairs just trees???? can pairs be in a pair with other pairs????? pear trees!)
so anyway, that crisis aside, symbols are basically just plain words that evaluate to themselves, they’re probably involved in pairs and lists (and definitely related) but im not deep enough in this page to understand how
@quasar it also literally at one point points out how pairs are usually only created to begin with because someone used cons wrong lmao
this chapter is so confusing and so pointless i think its going somewhere but as of right now its just longwinded and confusing
i am on 2.4.1 out of 24 chapters,,,,
maybe racket aint worth it, wdym lists are pairs and pairs are strange and what the fuck are symbols aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
and heres the real reason we had to go back to lisps, polish notation (putting the mathematical operator before the values meaning mathematical operations use the same syntax as any other function) my beloved
what the fuck conventions is this talking about ive never seen this before
Following the usual conventions, * in a grammar means zero or more repetitions of the preceding element, + means one or more repetitions of the preceding element, and {} groups a sequence as an element for repetition.
ngl, using drracket cause no proper text editor setup so far and like
this kinda reminds me of using slime on common lisp
which is good, that was the good parts about that language, you could just mess with the running program from the repl, thats a really cool workflow
so if the language is otherwise also more well thought out and less messy, this might actually work out
