  • Honestly, it probably doesn’t include the parser or some other large portion of the language. There’s a book about writing your own lisp from scratch in so many lines of C, and it famously pawns off big chunks of the process to ready made stuff. Like, I get libraries, but you didn’t actually make your own lisp in 1,000 lines or whatever the book promised. “From scratch” means without unnecessary libraries. Actually making lisp from scratch still takes like 100k lines.

    Granted, the title of this link didn’t say from scratch, I’m just pointing out the similarities between it and that book.





  • In the past I had been partial to Icelandic hosts because they’re not in the 14 eyes, but they’re still European so there’s that to consider. There’s also likely good hosts in Russia, China, etc. Other than those two countries, it would probably be a good idea to look for hosts based out of the global south, and they’d probably need servers in several countries to provide the traffic balancing large clouds offer. I haven’t looked recently, but I know Panama used to have a lot of hosts. That’s probably a good place to start.



  • That’s an awesome step; I cut Amazon out of my life several years ago and haven’t looked back. And I sincerely applaud you for providing this challenge. As for getting rid of AWS, I haven’t found a way. I was actually hoping that’s what you were going to include. I found in my own attempts a few years ago that getting rid of AWS pretty much disables the Internet for you. I haven’t tried again recently, but I assume that it has only gotten worse. Same with Google and Microsoft clouds.
