Its a kind of "vm" It has something morally akin to pickle. So checkpoints of prior runstates. It has strengths, basically. I interviewed a really gifted young programmer who'd been working on trafficlight control systems, coded in lisp. Emacs lisp? OK that's.. idiosyncratic, but are we now saying C99 isn't C?
We didn't appoint but, I think she was a brilliant coder and I trust trafficlight systems coded in lisp so why not ATC?

Your comments here on HN hardly ever make any sense and they show a complete lack of understanding of both how coordinating conjunctions and punctuation work. They look like some keywords sorta related to the article but pieced together using a Markov chain or something like that.
I'm not a native english speaker but when I post in english I try to make at least semi-coherent sentences and I try to pay attention to punctuation.
Your comments are all so weird that I don't even need to read your username when I stumble upon one of them: I know it's you.
Your answers to people asking you why you are acting so weird also don't make any sense: it's more of the same nonsense.
I don't usually complain much here but it'd be nice if you stopped acting full on crazy.
Basically everything you post is so weird I'm wondering if I'm not talking to a bot and if that bot is not going to spout of the same non-sense in response. And if that's the case, well, I feel like HN would be a better place without that kind of pollution...
This is probably someone's attempt at training a model on HN comments.
Mark V Shaney was brilliant. Rob Pike. Not I.
7k+ karma, seems to be working?
Their comments seem perfectly understandable to me? Take that sentence for example, I read it as:
> Emacs is a kind of VM (it provides a portable runtime environment) and has a serialization/persistence facility similar to Python's "pickle" library
Yes. Exactly. But, tbf I could/should have tried harder to say that. I remember the Emacs manuals on vax systems used to say although it was a 24bit addressable space inside Emacs, they didn't guarantee if would be able to address all 24bits, but they'd try. And, from memory there are recursion limits you may need to turn off, and tail call optimisation and stuff is hard.
Your answers to people asking you why you are acting so weird also don't make any sense: it's more of the same nonsense.
To this: there is one, one, highly specific instance in the last 24h. Are you referring to this?
I'll have to try harder then.
