Lisp? Lisp is known for being used in Emacs which is enough reason for me to dislike anything based on it.Kilmatead wrote:But the real pièce de résistance was a crash-course for messing around in scripting for the Gimp with Script-Fu, which is a subset of Scheme (I have no doubt it was a secret Nazi plot) which is a subset of Lisp - which history says stands for "List Processing" but I believe the lore version instead, which is Lots of Irritating Stupid Parentheses. (Which proves even Dorothy would have eaten Toto if she got hungry enough.)

Hmm, looks like a request for help. Does she have too little money to eat something? Poor one.Kilmatead wrote:(Well I had to have a base-picture to test it on, didn't I? When you run the same script 100 times in a day checking for bugs it helps to have something to look at. )
Python, Lisp.. no brackets, many brackets.. both of them are somewhat ridiculous.Kilmatead wrote:And yes, I'm aware that Gimp can tolerate Python

I did mention it was a plot/conspiracy against me personally, didn't I? Polish notation, indeed. Dig up Descartes, and he'll sort these guys out.Wikipedia wrote:However at the end of the war he found refuge in Nazi Germany, in the village of Hembsen, where he was brought for his own safety due to accusations of collaboration with the Germans. Following the war he emigrated to Ireland and worked at the University of Dublin until his death.
Never understood the antipathy Emacs seems to inspire... some people love it, others hate it, there seems to be no in-between. Odd, considering it's just a silly tool.Tuxman wrote:Lisp is known for being used in Emacs which is enough reason for me to dislike anything based on it.
Never a big fan of fleshy fräuleins myself... to each their own.Tuxman wrote:Does she have too little money to eat something? Poor one.
My point exactly... Lua (though getting a bit old now) seems the most friendly, at least having a few conventions in common with "real" languages. Being an old-fashioned "plain" C type myself (now well out of practice), I wear my prejudices on my sleeve. I don't believe in objectivity on any level. :roll:Tuxman wrote:Python, Lisp.. no brackets, many brackets.. both of them are somewhat ridiculous.

Wasn't that mentioned on a known KZ? :twisted:Kilmatead wrote:to each their own.
Google translate gives "To each his family"."Jedem den Seinen": Although the literal translation is "To each their own," figuratively it means "Everyone gets what he deserves."
Yep, rather boring.Kilmatead wrote:once you've seen one "KZ", it rather puts you off seeing others.
Google Translator did something right here (the first time I notice that); "die Seinen" ("the his ones") are a German paraphrase for one's clique. But I actually doubt that was meant.Kilmatead wrote:Google translate gives "To each his family".
Good luck.Kilmatead wrote:One day we'll catch you out...
Thin chicks are somewhat spooky. I wonder what having sex with them feels like. But I actually don't want to know it. Speared by a chest does not sound like a reasonable death.Kilmatead wrote:In the meantime, "thin chicks rule", Script-Fu does not.
I could make a few jokes about how in some cultures falling on one's sword would be considered an honourable death, but this thread is quickly heading for the gutter as it is.Tuxman wrote:Speared by a chest does not sound like a reasonable death.
