Our in-house #Scheme dialect (SKILL++) makes heavy use of Disembodied Property Lists, an archaic feature of ancient Lisps like MacLisp and Franz Lisp.
They're an interesting data structure: a list-based associative data structure with unique identity and intended for destructive mutation.
I started drafting an SRFI. But I'm probably going to give up. I can't envision getting corporate VP-level approval for publication, and even if I do, I expect the SRFI commentariat to die laughing.

@npub10zv…nz7m Allowing for the Lizardman Constant, that's a solid quarter of the population who should never be asked their opinion about anything

@npub15zu…s7lx I'm in SK right now, and honestly it seems like a much better place to bring up kids than the UK. The problems mentioned in the article — cost of housing, cost of childcare, etc. — are all *more* acute in the UK. Schooling, public transport, healthcare in SK are in much better shape. Do we know what the fertility rate in the UK is excluding first generation immigrants? I bet it's super low.

@npub1jeq…jglm I thought Alicia Vikander's Lara was great, and I'd love her to star in a sequel.
