Connery VS lisp-in-life

Cats already out of the bag. Companies just make up codes now. While creating a HTTP primitive for my Lisp interpreter I put together a list of status codes from Wikipedia and other sources[0] that has some of the more exotic ones. Notably 420 - Enhance your calm, Microsoft's 450 - Blocked by parental controls and Cloudflares 500 series codes specific to their infrastructure. I like to try to "be liberal in what you accept" so it's better to have those on hand in case a user encounters them.

My suggestion, if you are really worried about that, build something nobody wants.

Couple of my projects, a Sean Connery themed lisp interpreter[0] and a file sharing site that doesn't host any files and isn't P2P[1].

That said, I don't think anyone has ever really looked at either of those projects during the job interview process.

I made a Sean Connery themed language with this book: https://github.com/willcipriano/Connery

I recommend it, it was a lot of fun and I still tinker with the Connery from time to time.

Still, my favorite has to be the LISP interpreter written in Conway's Game of Life written in LISP.

Almost forgot - Lisp In Life. Pretty sure I first saw that on HN. IMO the more amazing thing is the Life-based processor, once you have that, the rest is a matter of adding layers. But it's one thing to know someone could do it, quite another to see it in action.

Run it in your browser here. Definitely worth zooming all the way in to get a sense of scale.
