   What mention did you not see? Is there anything I can clarify? Please let me know, feedback is always welcome. About the .deb: Indeed, it's built on Ubuntu, so it's not guaranteed to work on Debian, which is why we didn't m

   The prompt buffer (previously known as "minibuffer") supports fuzzy completion: you never have to type the suggestion in full. Just type a portion of what you want and the appropriate suggestion should come to the top. Even typo

   Nyxt does not assume POSIX, in fact it is completely independent of any POSIX-ness. It has been reported to run on Windows via WSL and also without it, but it needs much more work because WebKitGTK is not trivial to get to run on Windows. C

   Thanks for the feedback. Some answers: - You can press `enter` instead of typing "default" in full if it's selected. - Running `vi-normal-mode` enables VI bindings in the current buffer only. If you want to enable them ever

   Note this is the "fully contained Guix pack" (a bit like a container) which contains all the recursive dependencies, which includes WebKitGTK, GTK and the like. Nyxt alone is about 100-150 MiB uncompressed, which is what it costs

   Thanks for the suggestion. The "widget" you are talking about seems to required some specific support from the host REPL, no? Could SLY do it? Could graphical Emacs do it?

   (To reiterate what I answered for Ammonite, s/Ammonite/Xonsh:) I've only scratched the surface of Xonsh, so please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I understand, Xonsh was designed as a "readline shell" as I

    Wow, looks like you've got a lot of cool stuff in there! I'll try it out later and give you some feedback!

    I've never tested Ammonite, only read the https://ammonite.io/#Ammonite-Shell , so I'm only guessing here. From what I understand, Ammonite was designed as a "readline shell" as I wrote in the article. It

    Agreed, I think Jupyter got many things right, in particular when it comes to prompt handler and data visualization. What I find limiting for now is interactions with the shell process, in my case the Common Lisp compiler: no interactive st

    The article presents a few libraries. There is https://github.com/ruricolist/cmd in particular which is very helpful. I'm going to publish a few more libraries which should help with file manipulation (as I demoed

    Right, maybe "best practices" was poorly worded. I'll think of something better. Regarding the visual aspect: Very nice link, thanks for sharing! I was also thinking of showing off the macro-stepper. Regarding the lack of li

    Thanks for the fset link. I understand your comment as a bit judgmental, if not rude. Please keep the tone friendly, it helps if we want to have constructive discussions. I'd be happy (as well as everyone around here I'm sure) to

    I've never used them myself, so in all honesty I have nothing to say about them! :p That said, I support free software and I believe a proprietary compiler is not a good idea :(

    Indeed, tail-call optimization is not part of the standard, unlike Scheme. The point of the article is that while the Common Lisp standard is not really focused on functional programming, nothing prevents the implementions (and libraries) o

    Immutability is something I'm still exploring in Common Lisp. Any pointer, anyone?
