Re:Lisp in Forth by tartoran on Tuesday April 20, 2021 @07:55PM (#26883582)
Small is the new big. Not being serious but frameworks took the joy out of programming in a dogmatic way but lost a lot of the beauty and creativity in coding in exchange of too many features that a lot of the time we don’t need. People started looking at the past and what has been overlooked by many and started to bring it back. I am glad I starated learning Lisps and Scheme in particular. I don’t know why I like it so much but I am thankful people bring old things in fashion, even if for personal growth. My ignorance built upon the general consensus (what I thought of at the time) was that Lisp was a forget about proposition, that parantheses make it a horrible coding experience which couldn’t be further from the truth. I think i prefer this syntax now.

Keep up exploring and sharing folks, you are making a dent.
