​My dudes

Seamus Slack
​@Xah Lee Why is setq not just called set?

BartholomewJS
​@Dion Bridger My guy

nic w
​How can you start creating a functionality like "goto definition" for python with elisp?

Dion Bridger
​I found out why logical operators for control flow is bad btw

Dion Bridger
​chased down that Dijkstra quote you had on your site. Conditional control flow makes program derivation from post conditions and preconditions difficult.

Forbidden303
​why car and not first? why not both... ok let me build a function.

BartholomewJS
​oh my Camel

Seamus Slack
​@Xah Lee what is the difference between message and print in elisp?

Forbidden303
​jump to definition

BartholomewJS
​@Ateshtesh We definitely agree.

nic w
​like I'm editing a python script and I want to jump to the place it is defined

nic w
​a function or variable

Seamus Slack
​(setq a-path-set-in-conventional-way "Java")

Dion Bridger
​was Elisp or /semantically intended/ as control flow or as a logical operator?

Forbidden303
​every action in emacs is a function

Seamus Slack
​Thank you it's been good

nic w
​TIL the setq thing, thaks!

Seamus Slack
​@Xah Lee Python? Maybe a bit of rant about go lang?

Ateshtesh
​@nic w you also can use M-. to jump to a function definition in any languaje

Benayak Karki
​[message retracted]

nic w
​I often see python projects where some definitions cannot be found, I want to figure out how that can be fixed

Ateshtesh
​@nic w do you try to find a library function definition? or functions defined already inside your project?

Forbidden303
​nic you should install package elpy. pretty sure it has that functionalitf

Forbidden303
​elpy-goto-definition

David Kochanov
​hi @nic w :]

nic w
​I use elpy, it misses some stuff

Forbidden303
​aahhh

nic w
​Hey @David Kochanov !

nic w
​@David Kochanov we're talking about elisp today, your chance to give up on vim! 😃

Seamus Slack
​@Xah Lee the describe wasn't working before because the buffer wasn't written to disk.

Forbidden303
​evil-mode for easy transition

Forbidden303
​so the file has to be loaded...aahhh

Forbidden303
​maybe that nic?

David Kochanov
​i have given up on vim but then not sure i want to move to emacs just use vs code with vim-like modes but also have the definition problem I think its the language server

David Kochanov
​not sure what emacs is using

nic w
​@Forbidden303 @xah I'll check that, thanks!

Forbidden303
​pay the piper

nic w
​bon apetit!
