No blame, but I'm curious "why you don't Scheme much anymore". Was it due to Python, Common Lisp, etc?

I switched from (Chicken) Scheme to Common Lisp (and, in parallel, from Python to Lua), and, having read a lot of old code of yours, I'm curious about your choices - you seem consistently sensible and pragmatic. (Sorry to put you on the spot.)



Thanks! Partly Python's gotten more tolerable as a language, partly I'm doing more things needing libraries, partly I mostly code inside https://github.com/darius/halp these days and it doesn't have a Scheme mode so far. I do have a couple of recent Scheme projects up on github though -- optilamb and selfcentered.

Very impressed with LuaJIT2, btw -- I'd like to do more with it.


Halp is fun. Thanks. Installed it already.


Glad you liked it!
