11:07 <freemint_> picolisp.com/wiki/?tutbrw has a spelling mistake "denotes the'print&amp;gt;' method of the" should be 'print&amp;&gt;' when i find motivation i fix it

11:07 <freemint_> *'print&gt;

11:08 <freemint_> Apperently it is escaped wrongly

11:12 <Regenaxer> Thanks freemint_! Fixed

11:12 <Regenaxer> (you could also do it btw)

11:28 <freemint_> Regenaxer: (I know but i was currently doing something else

11:28 <freemint_> "when i find motivation i fix it"

11:31 <Regenaxer> np

11:32 <freemint_> Why does (+ 8 T) yield T number expected but (+ 8 NIL) return NIL?

12:04 <Regenaxer> Good question. Pragmatism

12:05 <Regenaxer> You think of infinite

12:05 <Regenaxer> But NIL here is not -inf but "not existent"

12:05 <Regenaxer> It is extremely useful to propagate "no result" through nested calculations

12:06 <Regenaxer> You'll understand if you write a DB application

12:18 <freemint_> Ok

12:18 <freemint_> i get it

12:18 <freemint_> How would you represent + and - infinity then?

12:19 <Regenaxer> NIL works OK, so just:

12:20 <Regenaxer> (de add (A B) (or (=T A) (=T B) (+ A B]
