Happy birthday Richard and all the best!
I use results of your work every day. Thanks for everything!

>I skimmed documentation of Python after people told me it was fundamentally similar to Lisp. My conclusion is that that is not so. `read', `eval', and `print' are all missing in Python.
What the fuck did he mean by this? And it's not just python, a ton of modern languages have a REPL environment. I'm not saying he shouldn't like Lisp, but higher up in the page he seems to present the REPL as one of a few main reasons to like it, which is somehow supposedly a unique feature.
I get that he's always busy, but has nobody told him REPLs are common?

why havent you sent him a letter, Jow Forums?

>66
Checked.

Lisp is literally just a REPL, user. When your Python program has an uncaught exception it just blows up the call stack and dies. When your Lisp program has an uncaught exception it pauses the evaluation and pops you into a debugger dialog where you can decide how to handle the error. When your Python program finishes running, it terminates Python by default. When your Lisp program finishes running, it awaits future input. Python starts up fairly fast and is meant for building scripts. Lisp starts up fairly slow and is meant for building functions.

herzlichen gluckwunsch Judisch mull.

I think he'd get a kick out of this, actually. Try emailing it to him.

Who cares what he believes about Jow Forums, we care about his advocacy of and work on free software. That is all.

>is now 66 years old
Betting 10 BTC that he's going to die within three years
Any takers?

Of course. But python literally has "print", "eval" and "read". Run python interactively and boom.
All your reasons are valid but RMS just says "python doesn't have eval lmao" which is factually wrong.

I assume the person who showed it to him was writing and then running a script. I imagine RMS codes in Lisp by starting a REPL and copying useful definitions into a source file as he goes, switching between them. That is possible with Python, but I imagine most Python programmers reload entire source files at a time, so it doesn't feel the same.

I think I've seen him last night at a store called little India in Somerville, MA.

I saw him walking through downtown Boston on Friday around 2:30pm.

Happy bday Stall/man or as i've taking to calling him, Stall+man!

anyone sent him an email?

>But python literally has "print", "eval" and "read".

These are not the same as the ones in Lisp. 'read' in Lisp takes a string of sexp and turns it into a list or an atom, making it easy to manipulate. The list or atom can then be passed to 'eval' which executes it an returns the output, also as a list or an atom. 'print' then prints that out as sexp, which can be directly read again by 'read'.

In Python, the closest thing to 'read' outputs a string, making it a lot more difficult and error-prone to manipulate. Python's 'eval' can only be used for expressions while Lisp's 'eval' can evaluate anything. Python's 'print' doesn't do anything to preserve the structure of its input. Basically, 'read', 'eval', and 'print' in Python are just crude imitations that's bound to frustrate someone who's used to the real thing.

happy bday

I did, actually. First time, too, thought it was a good occasion.

Where would computing be without Stallman? Didn’t he create the GCC?

Richard Man Stall

Richard cares about privacy. He doesn't like urinals, he's a stallman.

Happy Birthday, Stallman

>Happy Birthday RMS!
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Happy Birthday, is in fact, Party/Birthday, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Party plus Birthday. A Happy Birthday is not an event unto itself, but rather another musical component of a fully functioning Party made useful by the clever hats, cake and ice cream, and thoughtful gifts comprising a full celebration as defined by CEC (Chuck E. Cheese).

He is so cute in this pic.
