okay so I just learned about cons and s-exps and OH MY GOD THE FST THING IN CLOJURE FINALLY MAKES SENSE
@edensaesthetic wasm is actually quite cool (it's a long time since I found anything in programming quite cool)
@gracie oh heck that's wild.
@edensaesthetic all s-expressions and stack manipulation, it's like it's the nineteen sixties
(had no formal programming teaching, just learned python to do crypto one day, then did R, then Rust and bits of Haskell and Clojure, so like I've never learned theory)
