@valigo In the end everything is just bytes somewhere and they have no type, they don't judge :) Neat thing about pre-Scheme is you still get all the meta programming capabilities of Scheme, comptime eval, but emit C with no runtime. And you can emulate it as a library to debug, why not

@lemire Or all those functions are making the same mistakes that confuse beginners - mutability and arbitrary syntax and parsing rules. Are they relevant for beginners learning to think algorithmically? I'd be interested to see how languages like Scheme or the ML family compare.

@tsoding Reminds me of the period at work we used to prank colleagues who left their computers unlocked. I forgot my computer unlocked with dwm and found them leaning extremely puzzled over it.

@Jonathan_Blow @bztree You could do that with the Clojure port of SICM + the Clerk notebook system, it's like jupyter notebooks but good. Then just like you wanted have a slider for a value plugged into an equation and see the rendered stuff change.
