gollark: osmarkslisp™ just has `let` and `lambda`.
gollark: Real programmers use osmarkslisp™.
gollark: ```lisp (let (qsort xs cont) (cond ((= xs '()) (cont '())) (true (do (let h (head xs)) (let t (tail xs)) (let part_result (partition_rec t (lambda (x) (< x h)) '(() ()))) (qsort (head part_result) (lambda (ls) (qsort (snd part_result) (lambda (rs) (cont (+ ls (list h) rs)))))) )) ))```↑ provably optimal sorting algorithm
gollark: Well, in Haskell you would just use the highly efficient quicksort from somewhere.
gollark: Carbohydrates?
