So for a long time I found LISP elegant but I found the syntax infuriating.

@mcc wait, are you aware of Wisp <https://www.draketo.de/software/wisp>, the indentation+shortcuts Scheme syntax?
It’s one of the supported syntaxes in Guile, so you can theoretically use it to write Guix packages.
@aartaka I think it's very interesting!
I didn't know it was an option for Guix. That's good to know.

@mcc it’s an option for *Guile*. I’m not sure if it extrapolates to practical Guix programming, despite Guix being implemented in Guile. I don’t want to lead you astray here, because I’m uncertain myself 😅

( Look how fundamentally un-LISP-y my LISP is. I'm proud of it. https://codeberg.org/mcc/nameless-experimental-lisp/src/branch/unstable/sample/fizzbuzz.l0 )
EDIT: Wait, I think this sample code might be a bit out of date… this is from before the language had a "while" builtin, so it defines a "while" operation in terms of "if".
Wait. Can you write GUIX flakes (or whatever they're called) in Wisp?

@mcc guix takes the radical approach of just using guile for everything instead of inventing another turing tarpit, so, probably?

@tess I'm actually asking a real question about the craft.

@aeva I don't think your interpretation of RFC 2119 SHOULD is correct. RFC 2119 SHOULD basically means "MUST, unless you have a really good reason."

@alice I got mine before the move to AZ because I wasn't sure they'd even be available here.
Gladly there's pockets of actual humans here in this "red" state. (I think it's turning blue from what I hear. Well, it's more blue now with me here rofl)

@aeva I think there's an interesting part of your answer. There's a minimum amount of time just to deal with dependency changes, triage bugs and hopefully fix some. But doing that minimum is probably not sustainable -- it probably means you're losing interest in the project. Having a little more time for new features, refactors, and so on is probably better for the long term.

@alice @benroyce @lispi314
Are you hiring, do you need a developer, if you like i can run the whole dev department. i am a people person what is wrong with youuuuuu?

@aeva thank you so much for this answer! It really means a lot to me.

@evan
and I'm not talking about very small projects.
it also depends what the project is.
If you fail in it, what will happen with the people who uses your project?Will there life goes on without it?
"with great power comes great responsibility"....and you should have a team, a bus can hit you and the project (your legacy) is unmaintained forever.
So, I still stand with my first answer: as much as you want and as long as it's healthy.
+ GET A TEAM ;-)
