Ramin HonaryMy submission to ICFP/SPLASH 2025 was rejected ☹️ . Although if I am honest, the reviewer’s reasons for rejecting it makes perfect sense, I can’t disagree with their decision.The work I am doing on <a href="https://codeberg.org/ramin_hal9001/schemacs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Schemacs</a> really isn’t novel in any way at all, it is just a run-of-the-mill engineering project, everything I do has been done before. I mean, there is no need to invent some new technique to solve an already-solved problem. Not really the kind of thing that makes for a good conference paper. The biggest problem, of course, is that the application isn’t complete yet, so there is not much to share.Well, my readers here on Mastodon can expect a series of blog posts pretty soon as I re-format my paper for publishing on my blog.<a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/software" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#software</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/scheme" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scheme</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/r7rs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#r7rs</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/schemelang" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SchemeLang</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/icfp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICFP</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/icfpsplash2025" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#icfpsplash2025</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/splash2025" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#splash2025</a>

Nils M HolmFirst update to Scheme 9 from Empty Space in 7 years. More compact bytecode (size down 55%), no user-visible changes -- except for the bytecode disassembler now being in the default image.

Serge from BabkaUnpopular opinion: Classic Lisp/Scheme isn't a great first programming language.[1]When I learned Lisp in school I was incredibly confused by the difference between functional programming in the sense of passing functions and creating macros.That key distinction and difference is important, and the homoiconicity[3] made that distinction less clear than it needed to be.Teach Scheme second or third if you like, not first.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lisp</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Scheme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Scheme</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/CompterScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CompterScience</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ComputerProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ComputerProgramming</a> [1] No I'm not talking about LOGO.[2][2] If LOGO was your first programming language (it was mine) then you're old.[3] This is the Fediverse and now I'm sure someone is going to change their username to"Homoiconicity"
