im sure lisp was all very well in the past but in the modern world we can have the best of both worlds. first-class functions and clean, logical syntax (c syntax). javascript is the answer, its what you always wanted from lisp but knew it was lacking, embrace it.

lisp syntax is as clean and logical (other than maybe only having prefix operators and Lots of Insidiously Silly Parentheses) as you can get because there's very little of it.

just a reminder that deep c secrets is one of the most enlightening books about programming you'll ever read and you only need to be passingly familiar with k&r and unix programming to enjoy it

reminder that "11" + 1 is valid in java, which completely statically and predictably converts the int to a string and gets on with doing the obvious correct thing

the problem is languages that think the result should be 12, or (god forbid) "12"

the obvious and correct thing is an HCF instruction

I don't think ive ever run into the windows path limit in my time using it, but I also cant think of a use case where I would.

npm from back in the day when it had recursing node_modules directories and there was a npm package called rimraf specifically for removing all those files with the paths that are too long because windows could not remove them
