HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT CLOSURES

When there are no openings, you don't need closures

What I meant to say was, the pre-proposal for my thesis is due tomorrow, and I haven't selected a topic. I've spent the last twelve weeks in solemn meditation of the Sussman and have been unable to acquire even a whiff of the Satori.

Halp?

The satori is so wise that he is without odour. You can not sniff Satori and hunt him down like a dog would a rabbit. Satori will find you when you are ready to be found.

What be thy problem, Mr. OP? Last time I read SICP closures were mentioned and explicated most thoroughly.

OP is from /pr/

Seeing real English for the first time, Mr. American?

The ravenous wolves in the workforce are not kind to the Sussman and his works of enlightenment. Some of us poor losers are forced to code in the JAVA in order to feed our children and to live our days without the cudder bliss of a screen filled with beautiful, balanced parens.

I am ashamed.

Also, that pre-proposal is due in 150 minutes and I haven't started yet. I think I'm just going to scrape together a title with the words "massive", "real-time", "data-driven", and "original" then continue bullshitting there. I haven't actually met anyone here who seems to have reached Satori, though they may just be suppressing their power level.

My hands are shaking and I cannot fathom why...

So you think that stateful functions with access control to internal data are revolutionary because you have to jump through a small hoop to implement one when using a language whose design discourages side-effects?

>>10
Discourages? Hell no, I only use pure functional languages. Variables aren't meant to be changed.

lispfag is now burnt, and in hell

I hope you're trolling.

It's almost as if you want us to promote SICP.

Whenever I see that, it makes me laugh uncontrollably
