    Maybe Sparky Linux ...

    Normally, I use Debian. However, Debian 12 installer didn't work on my Acer Extensa 💻. So I installed Sparky Linux, and it works.

    People claiming Linux isn’t a viable alternative cause you can’t run it without using the command line.

    Even in 2024, many people begin using GNU/Linux with Arch Linux or Ubuntu with apt-get, then later they complain that Linux is not for average users. Maybe the community needs more GUI only tutorials.

    The video offers a practical example of using Ubuntu for web development, reminiscent of the Rails screencasts popular two decades ago. Back then, many software developers I met still believed the iBook G4 was primarily for desktop publishing, not software development.

    5. While many programming languages offer Packrat parser libraries, Esrap stands out for its simpler rule definition. Esrap uses a defrule macro, offering a specialized language for defining parsing rules, unlike other parsers that might rely on class construction. Class construction can be less intuitive when it comes to understanding the relationship between classes and parsing rules. This makes Esrap a great choice for writing parsers.
    6. DSL
    7. I have no idea.

    cl-llama.cpp is llama.cpp's Common Lisp wrapper by Carlos Ungil. It allows us to use LLMs locally via Common Lisp. I modified it to use the updated llama.cpp API, and improved how it prints the output.

    What is your favorite non-Lisp programming language? Why?

    Ruby can be used as AWK with JSON parser and Unicode support.

    I don’t know what kind of architecture you are thinking of and having the distinction between datalog on the database and prolog in the server might be problematic.

    I thought about Datomic and Clojure.
