(trilema) gabriel_laddel: apart from this, I have written Emacs Lisp functions to make a statement into a question and vice versa, to join and split sentences (not quite as trivial as it sounds), to upgrade from singular to plural and vice versa, to change the person from second to third and vice versa, et cetera. significant parts of grammar is the way it is to maintain correspondence between numbers and persons and tenses and such, and sin

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I don't think "in person" has much to do with it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: The preceding discussion was largely myself and trinque learning the others vocabulary.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: perhaps that was phrased poorly.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Without a shared language the logs will end up in endless cycles of the above.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I'm simply of the opinion that our current platform (irc) is too barbaric and doesn't force enough shared context upon us to do anything interesting. Any sort of shared vision or whatever gets watered down into discussions like the above.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: diss away too.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: If I could just get a working shared kill ring...

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I just spent 2 days fucking with mozilla
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: it is on the way
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Also, you don't have to parse anything, or have "generator rules" or whatever, which cuts out a lot of the complexity that you get when doing something like what you've done.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: So, in your model of computing you get to work with incomplete languages in the "data model" and when generating "views". While this does provide defaults, when hacking lisp you always have the full language at your disposal.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ;; google symbolics Statice
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Well, the lines get blurry.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you just end up writing a predicate to see that the information you're manipulating is (every #'string ...) or whatever

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: btw, I'm still putting together a model of what exactly it is you've done so that I can discuss this with you using your vocabulary...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: because parsing is a terribly boring (and totally unnecessary) task.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: but you'll end up like paul phillips
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: anyone /can/ add meta-programming to whatever language they want.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: but sexprs are nice because they're easy to parse.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: everything is a "list of lists" or a "tree" when you get down to it (in the compiler - though yes, you can go directly stack machine).
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "lisp", like "lispy" is an ill-defined idea.
