Thanks for your thoughts, you make good points. I'll likely play it safe and ask my manager to send it up the chain to the appropriate person.

It's not so much about having no trust in my superiors. I work at a newspaper company but in editorial and the idea is on the business side of the "church and state" divide.

It's an ailing industry, which could do with any revenue stream it can get its hands on, and I just want to help where I can.
>Rust is targeting more than one domain. Concurrent IO is not important in all domains.

Well, what domains is Rust targeting? Rust still isn't a good fit for embedded/kernel stuff without allocators and OOM handling (not to mention every architecture not targeted by LLVM).

That leaves userland applications, and how many applications don't need concurrent IO?

I'm definitely being impatient, and I'm sorry for that. It's just frustrating to see only one core member working on it.
I have used such a solution at times. But then you usually have the problem of overwriting half of a wide character, which is worse.
The Common Lisp version he has is pretty poor; I think this is more idiomatic, and is two lines as well:

(defun build (list1 list2)
(loop for x in list1 append (loop for y in list2 collect `(,x ,y))))

or:

(defun build (list1 list2)
(mapcan (lambda (x) (mapcar (lambda (y) `(,x ,y)) list2)) list1))

Still more verbose, of course, but not at all bad.

Why must there be evidence and explicit intent expressed outside the text?

E.M. Forster said "How can I know what I think until I see what I say?" Poker players have unconscious tells that reveal intent that is not verifiable by simply asking what their hand is, and they certainly wouldn't intentionally reveal what the subconscious reveals for them.

I've written fiction and while there's certainly intent in much of the crafting of a story or novel, there are also emergent themes, feelings, evoked emotions, and connections that go beyond anything I could concretely articulate as explicit intent. It's not surprising that when those emergent properties are interpreted by others that similar feelings are produced, connections made.

Can those evocations of emotion be "ascribed" to me independent of evidence? Well, they wouldn't have been evoked had the work not been created, so yes, they can be.

I suspect, as others point out, that your problem is more with academic conformance imposed by a lit instructor. But your tone seems to conflate those issues with the merit and value of literature, and the discussion of hypotheses about meaning.

You can form hypotheses about the intent of writing, and support it with evidence inside the text. It's not that far afield of rhetoric and debate. It's okay not to spend your time on that (just as I decided my analytical skills were better spent on investing, with a return, than fantasy sports). But I also don't begrudge those who decide they want to spend their time on endless mock drafts and fantasy sports leagues.

I'm glad you (and it sounds like davidw) had a great experience with other instructors though.
My wife and I had immense difficulty finding an Airbnb rental in Prenzlauer Berg/Mitte in late May/early June, and the number of properties on offer seemed greatly diminished compared to my prior four visits. However, my prior four visits were always off-season (October, Feb-April, April again, etc.).

Moreover, hosts told us that there have been recent regulatory changes and new registration requirements which seem to have had the effect of limiting supply.

Lisp absolutely means Common Lisp, that was the whole point of Common Lisp. (Naggum rant on this: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3224964049435643@naggum....) Certainly we can talk about the "Lisp Family", or "dialects within the Lisp Family" when things are close enough, and I disagree with Naggum in that I think it's not a totally useless thing to consider. But to me it's not all that useful either, since as far as I can tell the minimal thing to qualify membership to the family is to be s-exp based like [Common] Lisp, Clojure, or Scheme. I'd hesitate to call the FFP language as defined by Backus "Lisp", or even "a Lisp", however, even if a program looks like (+ :<4, 6, 8>). It's missing a lot of other things. So while Clojure, Scheme, and Lisp definitely seem closer to each other than to languages like Python or C that it might be sort of useful to group them into a family, it's a stretch to call them true dialects of each other. I can say the same things more or less with the same effort in different dialects, but how can I trivially talk Lisp conditions and restarts or Reader Macros or CLOS in Clojure or Scheme, let alone any of the other "dialects" out there? Those things aren't just "jargon" that can be interchanged or minimally expanded out, they are huge implementation details. You'd sell me more on the dialects thing if we were talking about Scheme as implemented by the Racket guys vs. Guile vs. al., or Common Lisp implemented by SBCL vs. Clozure vs. al., or Clojure as implemented on the JVM, CLR, or JavaScript runtime.
To make a statement about Common Lisp from simple tutorial code is a bit much.

If one looks at music software in Common Lisp, the code is on a higher level than building lists like that.

> Secondly, this code tries to handle lists in the classic Lisp way, with recursion, and that's not what you typically do in Clojure.

Neither is it done in Common Lisp.

> Those 7 lines of Common Lisp compress to 2 lines of Clojure

The actual difference is that Common Lisp uses LOOP and not FOR, and that LOOP needs two nested LOOP forms:

CL-USER 11 > (defun build (list1 list2)
(loop for e1 in list1 append
(loop for e2 in list2 collect (list e1 e2))))
BUILD

CL-USER 12 > (build '(1 2) '(a b))
((1 A) (1 B) (2 A) (2 B))

Two iteration forms in a LOOP don't nest, but provide iteration bindings similar to LET* and LET:

(loop for i in '(1 2 3) for j = (expt i 2) collect (list i j))

and

(loop for i in '(1 2 3) and j in '(1 4 9) collect (list i j))

Common Lisp's ITERATE macro also needs nested forms, but slightly improved over LOOP:

ITER-USER 26 > (iterate outer (for i in '(1 2))
(iterate (for j in '(a b))
(in outer (collect (list i j)))))
((1 A) (1 B) (2 A) (2 B))

The author of Clojure knows these differences very well, since he was a heavy Common Lisp user for a few years.

> But, at the same time, if you're looking to translate stuff from other Lisps into Clojure, it's not going to be just copying and pasting. Beyond inconsequential, dialect-level differences like defn vs. defun, there are deeper differences which steepen the learning curve a little.

That's true. Clojure is not a Lisp, but partially derived from it, with many other influences from Haskell and other languages. It's mostly incompatible to Lisp: software can't be shared or copied, it needs to be complete rewritten. Thus basic Lisp literature is only of use when it's about features which got copied. For example the book 'On Lisp' might help to understand macros in Lisp and Clojure, whereas books like 'Practical Common Lisp' or Norvig's PAIP aren't very useful for Clojure programmers.

Your rant is three years old. MS now supports WebGL in IE 11 and Edge. WebGL is quite useful, if inelegant. If you are waiting for the elegant version to do some 3D programming, you'll miss the opportunity.
I meant to upvote you, but in my haste, accidentally downvoted.
Most CL implementations will do more TCO than on self calls or mutual recursion. Most support full TCO, with language limitations.

The ones that don't provide any form of TCO are old Lisp Machine implementations and ABCL on the JVM.

SBCL, OTOH, provides full TCO.

Some older overview about Common Lisp implementations and their TCO support:

>Your example is tiny and trivial, the same thing written with locks/whatever would be equally easy to debug.

Write the version with explicit locks and condition variables and we'll see if it's as easy to debug. :P

>Exactly the same thing works in Rust, and works "better": the lack of other sharing (except by message passing) is enforced at compile time.

Which is one of the reasons why Rust can (should) eat Go's lunch. All it's missing are lightweight coroutines and concurrent IO.

And I didn't know Mio supports Windows now — that's good news! If Mio stabilizes and Rust gets lightweight coroutines (probably requiring compiler support), Rust could be the best of all worlds.
Wow, thanks! Probably should have had that in the "too good to be true" box to begin with.

The thing about that kind of symbolism is that it works best when you don't even consciously notice it. The talk of the boat anchor just primes you into thinking in a certain manner, then the author hits you with the girl-father story and you see it through that lens. Or the symbolism puts you in a particular emotional state which enhances your experience of the book, much like background music in a film.

His build implementation uses tail recursion which is not preferred in CL. One can build in a similar way that as shown at the end.

(defun build (list-1 list-2)
(loop
:for elem-1 :in list-1
:for elem-2 :in list-2
:collect (list elem-1 elem-2)))

A much bigger difference imho between Clojure and Common Lisp is that the former is built on abstractions, conj, while the latter is built on concrete cons cells. There are more other significant differences but I don't want to flame/argue.

The most common question out of a student's mouth is "But why do we have to learn this?" And that's a pretty good question.

Unfortunately they're asking the people least likely to know. Teachers don't even know why most of these things are important. They learned them at school, and then they grew up and taught them, but they never passed through the stage of actually putting them to use in any other context.

Dude. Read the fine print:

"Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax or military service obligations (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information)."

You may give up the right to vote, but you are still subject to taxation rules and/or military service, both of which can change at any time. You sometimes hear of Canadian celebrities in the US (there are lots of them) debating whether or not they should become US citizens: short v long-term tax advantages.

The really outside case is treason charges. A renounced US citizen can still be charged as a traitor for acts committed overseas, whereas a non-citizen would have to commit the acts within the US for treason to be an option.

Yeah the band aids add up. We'd need things such as static analysers anyway for spotting problems, optimizing, etc. However, an extra problem with C/C++ is that the languages are so complex to analyse that people get friggin' PhD's for certifying or formalizing even a subset of them. And the average programmer working against the clock is supposed to make something robust with such a tool? That's ridiculous.

" because either it isn't available on their platform"

I tried to solve that with my tools (lang X) using X-to-C compiler w/ seemless FFI for 3rd party code. Encouraged other languages to do that with many having done it before I got on the scene: Modula, Oberon, Ada, LISP/Scheme, and so on. Let them use good language with hardware/OS of choosing. Ignored it as you said.

"Just like coders that despite C++ safety improvements over C, use it as C with C++ compiler."

David Thornley brought this up on Schneier's blog when he said he was distrusting about those who mentioned "C/C++" as if they're same thing. That using modern C++ prevents many C issues if it's used correctly. Now, I abandoned C++ as anything but a compiler target after all the 90's empirical evaluations showed it was garbage. I think my critique that it lets you shoot yourself in foot easily and is hard to analyse probably still applies like it did when I cited them together. It's why I do.

Nonetheless, I honestly don't know how modern C++ developers code when they're doing it "right" with style guides, newer language features, peer review, etc. I think it would be fair in these discussions to do some new, empirical studies comparing proper C++ to Free Pascal, Go, Rust, Ada, etc in various attributes like was done in 90's. Critical that it's used as pro's say it should be so as not to mislead readers about effectiveness (i.e. C++ used like C didn't work). You know any resources I could use to catch up on topic that capture most or all of how pro's do C++ with modern features? Not necessarily most recent standard but what has been used at least past 5 years maybe 10.

> The FBI isn't typically allowed to do that without a warrant, which would require probably cause. They or the NSA could do it anyway, but the evidence would never be let into court.

At least some law enforcement has a track record of acquiring evidence one way and, once they know what the resulting evidence should be, reconstructing it in a court-admissable way.

Apple usually takes their store down prior to a big event (iPhone 6s pre-orders).

Whatever the outcome, if I were innocent I don't think I would be sanguine about the functioning of the system of justice.
I seem to recall it depending on compiler settings whether sbcl does tco. Which means you probably don't want to rely on it in general unless you are okay being locked to a specific implementation and specific optimization settings that may-or-may not seem magical to the uninformed user.
