This is fascinating! Programming language as a means of understanding Lacanian philosophy. This reinforces something I'm increasingly persuaded of, that computer science and programming languages exist not merely for computers but more importantly as a means of understanding how we think about how we think. This places comp sci squarely in the realm of epistemology, a branch of philosophy.

Fear of Macros by Greg Hendershott is pretty good.

It starts with macros defined as syntax transformers, i.e. procedures that take a syntax object and return a syntax object, and continues with all the amenities of syntax-case and syntax-rules... and I am still reading it and only got to chapter 4...

" #Zuckerberg and #Bezos responded to Trump’s threats to themselves and their businesses by literally journeying to Mar-a-Lago and figuratively handing #Trump envelopes of cash while publicly praising the incoming president.

There is no way to view this except as a protection #racket. They are paying Trump and praising Trump in the hopes that Trump will make sure nothing unfortunate happens to their nice little businesses."
