That is a very good point, but you see, eve actually is a really fun game and we'd kinda like for it to be successful which would be helped if the company running it cared more about the success of the game than about playing the game themselves and looking guilty every couple of weeks.
But you know, a lot of people have been voting with their feet; eve's number of user's online has been dropping for weeks.
I don't know... maybe because they want them to understand programming concepts without having to learn a complicated syntax? Maybe they want them to see how first class functions make building extendable programs easier? Maybe there is a reason MIT and other top universities also start people off with scheme? I wish I had started out with scheme and not basic, I probably wouldn't have hated programming for so long if I had.
Well, the R5RS was only 50 pages, as has been noted, and could be read in a couple of hours, and digested within a week. I haven't read the new one yet, but I'm told the extra bulk comes from standard libraries, which it is very nice to see added to scheme. If only Common Lisp could grow like this...
I use both OS X and Ubuntu all the time, and while I still prefer OS X for some reasons (better Lisp compilers, better composited desktop), the two are definitely in the same league.
Wait wait wait. OS X has better lisp compilers? Since when? What lisps are available on OS X that don't work better under linux?

Couldn't care less. "Could care less" means you do care, because it is possible for you to care less than you do now. "Couldn't care less" means that it is not possible for you to care less than you do now, because you do not care at all. Care = 0.
Isn't Take 2 publishing Oblivion? If so, they better not fucking fold until after my copy comes in. I don't want any delays while Bethesda finds a new publisher.
Delays to make the game better, on the other hand... well, they can take their time on that.
I'm sure you think your sarcasm is funny there, but your a sucky lisp programmer. Common lisp already defines a first function and a last function. Also, no one puts close parens on their own line. You program in notepad or something?
Until another language offers what CPAN does I don't care that much about it
I know it probably doesn't matter to most of you, but even lisp has something like CPAN. Its called ASDF, and there is a library called ASDF-Install. Of course common lisp lacks the huge number of libraries that more popular languages have, but (I have to admit) its getting better (getting better all the time).
In Space Quest, that's the way to get to a (very short) scene from King's Quest.
And in King's Quest 2, you can watch a trailer thing for one of the Space Quest games. I wanna say its for Space Quest 1, but I haven't played either of those games in the last 11 years.
Assume if p then q.
Given ~q (Not q),
you can conclude ~p.
Modus Tolens (I might have that mispelled). Anyway, it is indeed possible to logically prove a negative. You may have meant that it is impossible to prove the non-existance of something, which I don't buy either.
Well, are the AOL disks finalized? I mean, can I write more data to them? That would be very useful, so I don't waste blanks on stuff to copy to and from school. And as a bonus, AOL gets to bother me everytime I stick it in a windows box. That doesn't seem like it would cost them any more.

No, the original reads more like lisp and scheme code than your garbage.
Wow, I don't even know how to respond to that. I'd say you need a nice helping of lighten the fuck up.

So... you're complaining that two different Java compilers will sometimes accept and produce two different sets of object code? Inconceivable!

I'd be happier if you just made games I'd want to own.
Your sig says: My english is better than most other people's german, so please point out mistakes politely. Thank you.
Dear Sir,
"English" and "German" are proper nouns, and should be capitalized.
Direct influence is Unlikely, since C predates Algol68.
Erm, no it doesn't. Algol 68 was late 60's, C was early 70's. Look at the chart, idiot.
"you're" is correct, however LISP is not.

Didn't Atlus make the Tactics Ogre GBA game?

And then some damn crocodile will kill it anyway.
Second.
Macros aren't programming, they're scripting :-P
Yes they are... oh, your not talking about lisp, are you?
That's one advantage of scheme's function-calling semantics over lisp's, IIRC (can anyone confirm?).
Actually, I'm pretty sure that lisp isn't lazy evaluating at all. At least not until I whip out my lazy evaluation macros.
As you said, learn Lisp. Specifically Common Lisp.
Yes, that's a new feature in OfficeC++2005. And an old feature of INTERLISP. Do What I Mean must have been an awsome tool.
