holothuroid<p>When <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a>, learning a <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/programmingLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programmingLanguage</span></a> is not enough. We have to know about running it, editors, loading dependencies... What's a name for that whole working context? </p><p>There's ecosystem but that usually refers to more advanced knowledge about libraries.</p><p><a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/softwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>softwareDevelopment</span></a></p>
Ramin Honary<blockquote><p>What I don’t like:</p><ul><li>some stuff breaks “everything is a list” model</li><li>Common Lisp is not minimal, includes overlapping and legacy stuff</li></ul><p>does <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/scheme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scheme</a> address this?</p></blockquote><p><span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.social/@rzeta0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rzeta0</span></a></span> I would say yes, Scheme sort of addresses those issues.</p><p>Scheme’s biggest advantage is that it is minimal enough that you can understand the whole language specification top-to-bottom, inside and out. But that is also it’s greatest drawback: is that it is too minimal to be practical. So for a long time, every single Scheme implementation has a it’s own large and unique set of libraries for solving practical programming problems that were incompatible with other Scheme implementations, making the Scheme ecosystem very fragmented. The <a href="https://srfi.schemers.org/%20" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scheme Request for Implementation (SRFI) process</a> is meant to address this fragmentation issue. Fragmentation is still (in my opinion) a pretty big problem, though things are much better than they were 20 years ago.</p><p>The R6RS standard, as I understand it, tried to make Scheme more practical, but it started to become too Common Lisp-like in complexity so it was mostly rejected by the Scheme community — with a few notable exceptions, like the <a href="https://www.scheme.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chez Scheme compiler</a>.</p><p>The next standard, R7RS, split the language into two parts: “R7RS small,” ratified in 2014, which is more like the original minimal core of the Scheme language, but just a few new features, in particular the <code>define-library</code> macro, for modularizing parts of Scheme programs into immutable environment objects. Then they took a collection of “SRFIs” and declared them to be part of the “R7RS large” language standard. The full “large” language specification is not yet fully ratified, even 11 years after the completion of R7RS “small,” but I think the SRFIs they have ratified so far already make the latest Scheme standard a very practical language. The final R7RS standard may end up being larger than Common Lisp, but that is fine with me since it can be almost completely implemented in the R7RS “small” Scheme standard.</p><p>R7RS “small” Scheme, in my opinion, is a powerful but minimal language that exists to implement other languages, but is still useful in it’s own right as a progeny of Lisp. The “R7RS large” language then adds the useful features of larger languages like Python or Common Lisp as a layer on top of the “R7RS small” language.</p><p>The current chair of the R7RS working group is Daphne Preston Kendal, and is often on Mastodon as <span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://chaos.social/@dpk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dpk</span></a></span> .

Giacomo Tesio<p><strong>Why people design a new <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=programminglanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProgrammingLanguage</a>?</strong></p>There are tons of good reasons of course. Some does that for fun or for curiosity, some for political or educational reasons, some to address shortcomings faced with existing one, either in specific use case or in general.<br><br>To me, at least at the conscious level, it's completely a political issue.<br><br>I see how programming is a new political force (so much that I actively used it to fight <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> in Italy) and I see how people who cannot read (aka <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=debug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debug</a>) or write (aka <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=programing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programing</a>), are doomed to becomes second class citizens in a <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=cybernetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cybernetic</a> society.<br><br>I don't want this to happen to my daughters, so I want to teach them how to program and debug.<br><br>BUT mainstream programming languages are weird, full of accidental complexity and with over-complicated semantics.<br><br>As a nerd who can programs in most of them, I tend to get fun in the abstractions and details of, say, a <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haskell</a> or an homoiconic macro in a <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lisp</a>.<br><br>But while they are fun to a person grown (and selected to fit) within such a primitive computing environment, they are inheritely excluding people who cannot spend decades to grasp their subtle intricacies.<br><br>And how you can teach such languages to kids?<br><br>Sure they can learn and understand any programming language construct way better of an average adult, but at a first glance all they will only see is glibberish!<br><br>And while some will be fascinated by such esoteric language that can be used to create games, worlds and agents that serve their will (just like I was when I was a kid), most will find that complicated and thus boring.<br><br>On the other hand a language that is explicit and with simple semantics (such as say <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=oberon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oberon</a>) will seem verbose and boring to a professional programmer.<br><br>I love the simple clarity of a <a href="https://snac.tesio.it?t=snake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snake</a> implementation like this <a href="https://github.com/tmartiro/voc-snake/blob/main/Snake.Mod" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/tmartiro/voc-snake/blob/main/Snake.Mod</a> whose complexity is almost just the complexity of the task at hand.<br><br>And while I see little improvements I could add to such language to further simplify it's syntax and semantics, when I try to do so, I end with something that is <b>less</b> readable than the original, despite syntax and semantics being simpler (as in less rules and no exceptions or incoherence).<br><br>It was pointed out by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://items.minimals.org/anzu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anzu@items.minimals.org</a></span>: while I want to make the language easy to read and simple to understand, I subconsciously try to address the issues I faced in my ~25 years as a polyglot programmer.<br>And apparently I can't resist such impulse, like if I cannot escape my experience.<br><br>It's sad.<br><br>It makes me think of how the phonetic alphabet was invented by people who cannot read or write but were exposed to hierogliphs, and think that creating a democratic programming language is beyond my ability because of how my mind has been blent from the existing one.<br><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://feddit.it/c/informatica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@informatica@feddit.it</a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://feddit.it/c/programmazione" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@programmazione@feddit.it</a></span><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://lemmy.world/c/technology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@technology@lemmy.world</a></span><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://programming.dev/c/programming_languages" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@programming_languages@programming.dev</a></span><br>
