Fossil content

gollark: They had something very obviously in their style.
gollark: Orbital inner ear lasers HAVE been activated.
gollark: I mean, I mentioned recursive descent parsing on APIONET beforehand, it's approximately in my overly-onelinery and bad-variable-namey style, it's a technically working lisp but weird and broken in a few ways (negative number parsing!), I think some of the comments are vaguely inaccurate or at least not how someone more experienced with lisps would describe things, and the thing ignored Python idioms a fair bit.
gollark: Thus, leave.
gollark: *May* be, I think.
