GNU Hyperbole Announcement
rswgnu · 2022-04-02 03:46
Despite years of trying, the Hyperbole team has never been able to master the complex syntax of Lisp.
Therefore, we have decided to decouple the system from Emacs and rewrite it in either the [Sacred](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Sacred) or [Magritte](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Magritte) language as a VS Code extension under the new name, HyperActive!
Please consider supporting our GoFunkMe campaign as we will need a lot of psychological support and bread money to go down this path. Help make [Saint IGNUcius](https://stallman.org/saint.html) proud.

Not in California it wasn't

Agreed that the Lisp grammar is just too complicated! Emacs should be reimplemented and extended in a language with a easy to parse and easy to write syntax, like C++.

Is 1. April in your country that late?

Right? My college CS courses were taught in C++ and, after almost 5 years of school, I still felt like I was barely scratching the surface of that massive language.
I've also recently looked at all of the additions they've made since I was learning then; it looks almost completely new and alien again!

Sorry, I was trying to write the message in vi and the day just got away from me.

That explains. I have heard time flows faster when you approach the speed of light. Be careful with vi.

I'm very happy with org-mode. Just use it!

Hyperbole and Hyperbola are different things.

Not your worst, but you used to be a lot better at this.

Wtf dude? Is this supposed to humor? "A Jew making a racist joke" - is that some kind of ironic joke or just display of pure stupidity? 🙄 Or what you are trying to tell us with your constant discontent for this community? Why don't you just leave this Reddit if we are so bad as you constantly try to point out?

This has been removed, as it is not very civil; please attack ideas, not people.
