I wrote a #blog post on why #scheme (more specifically #guile) and #lisp are great for production and real-world #software and why more companies should adopt it, trying to debunk some illusions and fallacies. Enjoy:

#guix is also a great part of why guile is so awesome 😃

I released the first alpha of my social media meta-client yesterday. So far only for #SailfishOS but Android's coming too after I've figured out all the Play Store stuff.

The LOOPS primer, published in 1987, captured well the essence of exploratory programming in Lisp:

The LOOPS interface provides both a programming tool and a thinking tool. As you develop a new system, each preliminary version provides an object for thought and discussion. The preliminary versions are a crucial part of the design process.

LOOPS (Lisp Object-Oriented Programming System) is the OOP extension of Interlisp.

With the idea of promoting the usage of #guix and my favourite #programming language #guile #scheme I created a small project which is still in early stages, but I think with some more #love and #effort can be quite something.

The Guile ShowHub! Promoting all Guile projects out there! By reading from #foss Guix project source code we can tap into a plethora of information, and leverage the #homoiconicity of #lisp to directly analyze the source code and extract info.
