Hi rick42, Nistur!
<rick42>
the article was not written for the experienced programmer obviously, but as you surmised, for the less experienced, maybe new to picolisp, lover of puzzles :), etc., but there is something to be had for the experienced programmer too; maybe: (i) seeing a different way of looking at / tackling a problem, (ii) seeing a different application language (which is why I think devices such as the "Uses:" links help the exp
<rick42>
erienced as well as the not-so).
<Regenaxer>
yes, perfect
<rick42>
there is also an economic consideration that I didn't get into: when a professional has to decide how to spend limited resources (usually time) to build something for a client.
<rick42>
the question is often: do you "go all out" and spend the time to develop the most general and sophisticated method possible, or is it better to spend less time and tackle a /particular/ problem?
<rick42>
The latter choice also allows you to spiral, if the client ask you for more, and i have found that the short time spent on the toy/particular problem also helps to inform the more general method that would be devleoped (if called for).
<rick42>
usually, I find that the answer the latter.
<rick42>
hence, the time spent on the toy is NOT wasted.
<rick42>
and all these observations from a little puzzle! ha! :)

Regenaxer: what happened with the crashes from yesterday? Are you and tankf33der still on it?
<Regenaxer>
Not at the moment. I'm on a business trip. But thi *must* be investigated
<rick42>

<rick42>
bloat is terrible
<rick42>
i think OP was alarmed at "the future is dark"
<beneroth>
yeah first I only read the subject and though "ah is someone opening that can again.. noez..." but no, it follows the law of click-bait question headers (the answer is always no)
