My name is

[Jil]

(display (apply string-append (reverse (append (map (lambda (s) (list->string (append (list #n) (reverse s)))) (quasiquote ((#y) (unquote (append (reverse (map (lambda (s) (cadr (string->list s))) (list “ate” “the” “worm”)))))))) (list “A”)))))

The process that that line of Scheme goes through in order to print my name feels like a metaphor for my life right now.

Scheme: A crap load of unecessary parenthesis.

[Zappy]

No.

Also, what’s up with the parenthesis?

Java: A crap load of unnecessary classes

[David]

Java: Scheme++

[Jil]

Scheme: Fun to screw around with, and cool in theory.
C++: What I actually use for productive reasons (computing olympiad and robotics). Usable enough.
Javascript/PHP: Far too prevalent on the web.
Lua: What I wish would replace Javascript and PHP so I wouldn’t have to pore over w3schools to write a webpage that does something.
Java: Slow and fn useless.

I thought that language looked familiar. Haven’t used Scheme in forever.

[Pirkid]

I don’t think ANYONE uses Scheme..although most people aren’t productive when they DO.
