I don't really understand why people are into all the extra lambdas.

#Discord is a terrible communication platform with all its distractions and malfeatures. I've used it to stay in touch with #lisp programmers that are not on IRC nor on fediverse. But today they've crossed the line - they've shown me an ad, an ad that has obfucaed the chat at that. I've disabled the account and not going to use it anymore. Good ridding I guess.

"your lack of capitalization hurts my eyes"

Should we upcase all #lisp code just on principle ?

This week we will talk about the Unix Philosophy and how it compares and contrasts with whatever one might call the “Emacs Philosophy.”

The impetus for the discussion is a series of blog posts by @ramin_hal9001 called “Emacs fulfills the UNIX Philosophy”:

• [The original introductory blog post](

  https://tilde.town/~ramin_hal9001/articles/emacs-fulfills-the-unix-philosophy.html

  )
• [The show notes](

  https://codeberg.org/ramin_hal9001/lisp-gopher-climate_chat-about-emacs/src/branch/main/show-outline.org

  )

…as well as a fascinating discussion that took place over this past week on ActivityPub on the topic of the Unix philosophy and history of Lisp on Unix in which some very knowledgeable people have contributed anecdotes and facts.

Very good intro if you want to try out Common Lisp a bit.

Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for shell/bash script replacements in 2025?

Thinking maybe guile?

Since I don't follow the field closely I wonder whether Lisp is still used much in modern AI as this article claims.
