Whats the big deal with Scheme

Name: Anonymous 2009-06-08 21:49

So some nerd was a fan of star wars and wanted to make a language that mirrors how Yoda talks. Over it, you should get.

Actually, Yoda mostly spoke normally.

I suppose, if one were to be asked the question ``How does Yoda speak?'', one would respond with Normally!

So what you're saying is you don't know Scheme and you can't speak English.

>>1 is obviously a troll, but for the record, Yoda spoke more normally in the original trilogy and there is no real difference between schemes function syntax and that of any other, except for parentheses placement.
Compare

(+ 5 5) or (map square '(1 2 3 4))

with

add(5,5) or map(square, [1,2,3,4])

also
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is a 1980 space opera film directed by Irvin Kershner[1]
Scheme was introduced in 1975 by Gerald J. Sussman and Guy L. Steele Jr [2]

Sorry, "language" is bound to "English" in this closure.

“Photoshop”

Please avoid using the term “Photoshop” as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general. Photoshop is just the name of one particular proprietary image editing program, and there are plenty of free alternatives, such as GIMP.

If we called it "gimpshop" or "gimping" or something, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. It's a double-standard but I can see the point, why should you associate image manipulation with closed-source software?

“Hoover”
Please avoid the term “Hoover” to mean any brand of Vacuum based cleaning device. Hoover is just the name of one particular proprietary Vacuum based cleaning device, and there are plenty of free alternatives, such as YOU. YES YOU. YOU SUCK!!! LOLLOLOLLOLLOLLLLOLL

You're missing the point slowpoke

Name: Anonymous 2009-06-11 10:49

They say that 'photoshop' should not be used as a general term because it's software. I said that they probably wouldn't mind 'gimping', even though it refers to software, because it's theirs and it's free. How am I missing the point exactly?

speculation about things that haven't happened and are extremely unlikely to ever occur
Sure is getting the point in here.

Maybe you're missing my point, that they wouldn't mind you naming THEIR product, but they do when its someone elses. It's a speculation about the opportunistic strategy adopted by all named groups and individuals in business. To say that it does not occur and likely won't occur, is inaccurate.

I have never heard RMS or anyone from the FSF or GNU project refer to editing images as "Gimping", running the GNU system as "Hurding", compiling C programs as "gucching" or booting a GNU system as "Grubbing". I'd even bet that these people would never use such terms.
