    The interviewer is asking me to do the practical tests in IronScheme in VS2012 with the IronScheme editor extension for it! :cool: Scheduled for Thursday, late afternoon. PS: I can actually use any language I prefer, but he is very interested in IronScheme (or LISP/Scheme/Clojure in general).

    Don't forget to download the STOP SHOUTING extension for VS2012...that has got to be worth a few brownie points!

      Only a fool would download an extension that could be achieved by adding a registry entry ;p

      IronScheme
      ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x)))

        Did you suggest they just skip the interview and check out the codeplex pages?

                        It is almost like interviewing Bjarne Stourstrup on C++. Are the interviewer and interviewee same - You?

                        Are you sure it is not late night. Then it will surely be a dream interview.

                            Traditionally, Thursday night in South Africa is "Maid's, night off." That's when SA folk go out to a steakhouse for a perfectly age-ripened fillet and an ice cold beer. Leppie doesn't have any rush on Thursday. If he's lucky, he'll have the interview at the steakhouse. ;)
