Essential Mix

Hi, I hear you like Essential Mix. Here’s EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Scheme/C Multi-mode

I put together a quick hack to get C-mode and Scheme-Mode working in tandem with Chicken Scheme files.

It recognizes #>..<# and <<ENDC..ENDC pairings.

Or rather, “When I was your age, we occupied Europe. My friends and brothers died en masse in a war created by the jealous endeavours of the powerful; whose power and influence we left bound in shame for what the suffering they had caused.”

The world of our generation and that of our grandparent’s generation shares a lot in common, and it is this that I like to reflect upon on remembrance day.

Thanks to the efforts of my grandparents and their even-handed, all-together approach to nation administration my parents enjoyed decades of happiness, security and increasing wealth.

Sadly, my parent’s generation were not of similar mind as their fore-bearers, and have squandered the gift that was presented to them.

We are rapidly falling into a world not unlike the 30s, with international tensions rising, wages stagnating, jobs disappearing, children going hungry, and jealous men the world over desperately looking for an opportunity to create security for themselves at the expense of others.

This remembrance day I will remember with pride the honour and strength of my grandparent’s generation; for their deep sacrifices during the great wars and for their strength and conviction in pursuing what was good for all mankind, and not just their own selfish needs.
