@saagar the real mindfuck is when you learn C++ and Rust and Swift are C, but C is Lisp

first you mock lisp, next you post an image without alt text?!

I just thought the offer to translate the post stood on its own. sometimes it provides the most hilarious out-of-context salt. :]

@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange @saagar@federated.saagarjha.com
i mean, alt text, as in the text that describes the image, so blind people know what the image is
it's also very good for people who have slow internet, looking using a text-based browser, or just have bad eyes

yes, I'm sorry I dont alt-text more, but its like writing internet articles that you put 10 hours into and then find out later nobody read it. I'v lost my hope, and I'm sorry.

i was trying to make it portable by using srfis instead of guile functions but i then used the guile module syntax foolishly thinking that it was standard

@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange @saagar@federated.saagarjha.com
i guess importing srfis just isn't a thing you do (outside of guile and chicken scheme, as far as i am aware)
i think in chicken scheme or wherever srfi importing is practiced, you could replace the first line with "(import (srfi 1) (srfi 27))"

@saagar Unfortunately Javascript is a terrible Lisp.
