Quest 7: Namegraph

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

    Even after 20 years in “nicer”, “safer”, “more modern” languages … I still miss Lisp. It’s the only language that makes me feel like I’m sculpting in clay, instead of carving stone (Haskell) or laying bricks (Java) or building with Lego (Python). Sure, sometimes the clay comes out kind of lumpy, but that’s part of the experience.
