Why I Program in Lisp

｢ I keep a Lisp REPL open at all times, and I write prototypes and exploratory code in Lisp. Why do I do this? Lisp is easier to remember, has fewer limitations and hoops you have to jump through, has lower “friction” between my thoughts and my program, is easily customizable, and, frankly, more fun ｣

Why F#?

｢ F# 1.0 was officially released in May 2005 by Microsoft Research. It was initially developed by Don Syme at Microsoft Research in Cambridge and evolved from an earlier research project called “Caml.NET,” which aimed to bring OCaml to the .NET platform.2 F# was officially moved from Microsoft Research to Microsoft (as part of their developer tooling division) in 2010 (timed with the release of F# 2.0) ｣

(think) · Why F#?If someone had told me a few months ago I’d be playing with .NET again after a 15+ years hiatus I probably would have laughed at this.1 Early on in my career I played with .NET and Java, and even though .NET had done some things better than Java (as it had the opportunity to learn from some early Java mistakes), I quickly settled on Java as it was a truly portable environment. I had some C# courses in the university and I wrote my bachelor’s thesis in C#. It was a rewrite of Arch Linux’s pacman, running on Mono. This was way back in 2007. ↩
