HMA.py [Part II]

#!usr/bin/python

else:
    print "HAX MY ANUS!"

Oh look, it's ^this _thread again.

Since, we're posting useless code - who can tell me why this macro is basically worthless
(define-syntax define-unsettable
  (syntax-rules ()
    [(_ var val)
     (begin (define tmp val)
            (define-syntax var
              (make-variable-transformer
               (lambda (stx)
                 (syntax-case stx (set!)
                   [id
                    (identifier? #'id)
                    #'tmp]
                   [(set! var value)
                    (syntax-violation 'set!
                                      "Attempted to `set!` an unsettable identier"
                                      stx
                                      #'var)])))))]))

Because it's in sheme.

I laughed.

(module m racket
        (provide get-v)
        (define v 'unsettable-ha-ha-ha)
        (define (get-v) v))

Ding ding ding.
The macro is superfluous for identifiers that are exported by a module [in R6RS and Racket, at least], as they are already unsettable in both the importing and exporting modules. Further, it is useless for a REPL because, without redefining `define', it can be re`define`d which is equivalent to a set. The macro only has use if you want to make a variable that is not being exported, or is an inner definition, unsettable, which is of questionable utility.

>>7 is "which is of questionable utility" meme¹ a meme?

No, this is how educated people talk.
