Re:Guile Steel: a proposal for a systems Lisp on Monday July 11, 2022 @07:45AM (#32054825)

  This is would be a great project to provide a mature Lisp that developers could use to target WebAssembly.  Guile Scheme is an amazing Lisp to utilize for this purpose. Here are some other Lisp-to-Wasm type projects from my brief search.
-The Wisp project to compile Lisp-to-Wasm: https://github.com/mbrock/wisp

-Chaitin's Lisp- This is a WebAssembly port of Gregory Chaitin's minimal Lisp interpreter: http://weitz.de/chaitin/

-HN post: Common Lisp running natively over WebAssembly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31590819

Great idea!

I think this concept would work in the elderly population. Including patients with severe dementia. An interesting way to improve quality of life for this population.

Racket and Julia on the same day!

  Thank you for your work.  When trying to teach my child basic coding concepts along with their math homework, the barrier often is the IDE.

  The web-based staring point is incredibly useful.  Fire up the web browser and show the math example is excellent.   I have started using the web-based Pyret with my 9-year-old.   As we do her math, we mirror the math and geometry problems and solve them in the browser environment. The simplicity to code, run, eval is key.

I will give Easylang a try on her next set of problems. Strong Work!

Re:Switching from Common Lisp to Julia (2017) on Monday August 05, 2019 @11:47AM (#20615065)

  I was thinking about this the other day.  How can I expose my Common Lisp code to Julia.  
  
1. You could take the Clasp path by exposing CL to C++. https://youtu.be/8X69_42Mj-g

  This means taking /  writing a CL in Julia.
  
2. Julia has an AST representation written in femtolisp. So it would be in interesting target for CL or some glue middle language like Shen. http://www.shenlanguage.org/ https://youtu.be/lMcRBdSdO_U

What are the best library's for data science in Racket? -Finding it hard to step away from Julia when operate on a amazing large data file and not kill the CPU.

How about packages to convert Racket to WASM?

Agreed. The Map is a great start. If this content could be exported to another type of game such as Elder Scrolls Morrowind or Thief. Even OSS games like Battle for Wesnoth , 0 A.D., and SuperTuxKart would be interesting.

Would love to see an Arcket.
X-COM 2 has the same effect.
The story does not mention anything about families. If you have a child in school, you better have family or friends who can support the acute local needs of your child. How do you get back home when your child is ill or something else occurs and you need to be available?

I see. First rule of COBOL club. Don't talk about COBOL club.

How does one search and utilize the use hundreds of thousands of existing apps written over the last N decades? Is their a CPAN like tool for COBOL?
Can't wait to get home and try this. Now if we can get this to run in Javascript using WebAssebly that would be a dream come true.

Re:Ask HN: What do you use Machine Learning for? on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @12:16PM (#14359911)
I work for a large multi-hospital corporation.

  We use machine learning to predict the risk of a patient, after an inpatient admission, being readmitted in 30 days post discharge.  If the risk is high, we proactively put process in place to reduce the readmission risk.
