REPL (Black)
Because, although I don’t use it as much as I’d like to, I adore Common Lisp.
And because any development environment worth using has a REPL.
Also with white text:

This is a word I had to make up for all my computerish friends because I don’t like geek and nerd.

Pfft. I like geek and I’m not that bothered by nerd when it’s not used as a pejorative.
Feel free to call me a geek. I do.

ok Dave, i don’t do lispelese, so pls tell me WHAT IS THE RESULT of this cryptic code
Dave Pearson
replied
That’s a bloody good question. There’s the “technically correct” answer and the “correct” answer.
The technically correct answer is that there won’t be a result because it’s an endless loop (well, until something causes an error to be thrown, which would include the end of the input stream being indicated).
On the other hand the “correct” answer is that that single line of code is essentially an implementation of a command line where you can do anything and everything (in Lisp).
On the gripping hand is nothing more than a really beautiful demonstration of how neat Lisp is.

Nowt wrong with being a geek. And proud of it too :)

Oh I will never be a nerd….lol!! Not enough brains for that! Love the tee. Think if I wear one people will think I know?

replied
Perhaps. One thing’s for sure, if you wear one you’ll have all the really smart programmers coming up to ask you about it. ;)

Dave, thanks for that serious good education. Man, YOU should be writing those murmurings of trivia on the Red Bubble site. I shall now go forth and multiply my thoughts…on the other hand there is much to be expressed….on the gripping hand, i seriously have to get back to work!!
Such loops we weave…
