@pkw yeah me too, but i dislike it. :)
so the "functional" when, ie if-error, is like a guard clause. and the CL when, if-nil, is secretly an if. to me when always was the latter, im indifferent to if i have what my when asserts i have, my when structures a fallback situation. interesting distinction to learn for me

@mousebot@todon.nl @pkw and then there's and/or ... i feel like the 'stronger typing' angle is not that convincing when the 'true' case isn't consistently typed anyway. that said this was my major pain point coming to scheme from cl but it's been a while since i've even had to think about it, despite not writing that much scheme. So i guess i got over it?
