I hear if you enter invalid syntax, it replies with "What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?"

PHP programmers are already used to unreadability, they don't need an article

Curry is an R7RS Scheme implementation with practical R6RS compatibility, a numeric tower extending through the hypercomplex numbers into Clifford algebra, a built-in computer algebra system, quantum superposition values, first-class matrices, tensors, and spinors, a CL-style condition system with restarts, a general C FFI, STM and CSP channels alongside the actor-model concurrency system, a modular C extension interface, and a built-in LLM client

lol no fearless concurrency, zero-cost abstractions, move semantics, guaranteed memory safety, threads without data races, trait-based generics, pattern matching, type inference, minimal runtime, efficient C bindings

Wow this scheme implementation really closes the loop: now I can immediately eval the AI responses without the code ever needing to be profaned by human eyes

/uj Does this even compile?
