I always felt Slava Pestov's (now abandoned) blog on Factor's development was a good view into language design: http://factor-language.blogspot.com/ He and Andy Wingo ( http://wingolog.org ) both write v

Hi, Patrick! Sprocketnes has been helpful reading as I've worked on my own emulator. Ian Piumarta's lib6502 uses plain C macros. It's even almost as short as cl-6502...though I don't think it's quite as readable. ;)

That magic actually comes courtesy of [SnabbSwitch]( https://github.com/SnabbCo/snabbswitch/wiki ), latest project of the inimitable Luke Gorrie. Luke is also publishing SnabbSwitch semi-regularly as a [readable pro

Me too! Common Lisp actually was intended for system programming historically, back from when Lisp Machines had a shot at ruling the world. Consequently, there is quite nice support for low-level programming.

I've been stalled out on that for a month or two. The PPU has been quite tricky. I'll probably take inspiration from [nesemu1]( http://bisqwit.iki.fi/jutut/kuvat/programming_examples/nesem... ) for th

I'm flattered. :)

Neat. :) Is yours online anywhere?

Ha. The optional dynamic backend got taken out during a rewrite in August but it was never very interesting. The new plugin and theme support is much more interesting. ;)

I would assume however that threading concerns have not been taken into account for the "Clojure-in-Clojure" on display in ClojureScript however, based on https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Differences-fr... That suggests to me

Well, don't forget that the lowest tier Linode comes with 200GB bandwidth/month whereas EC2 is pay as you go.

I'm sorry I didn't get my point across very clearly. Perhaps my writing style is to blame. I often start writing when I "feel it" and figure out what I'm really trying to say as I go then go back and rework as necessary. Too top heavy, I su

> "But then you might as well just use Postrgresql and Postmodern." Yeah, that's what I figured. I doubt for anything I'll work on soon that the lock will be an issue. Just curious. :) I didn't realize the hold used to be backed by bknr

BKNR-datastore seems really nice but I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet. Do you know if it supports concurrent writes yet? I know it didn't circa 2008 or so...

Well, the two prominent web frameworks are Weblocks and UCW but their documentation is...wanting. I'm working on a Weblocks tutorial right now but I gave a bit of a survey of the CL web landscape recently: http://redlinernotes.com/blog/?p=

That's pretty accurate. I'm still a dumb noob about programming generally but I've been using and lurking in #lisp and the "community at large" for ~2 years now. The best thing to do for new users is probably to show up on #lisp and solicit

I'm certainly interested. I got bogged down in Chapter 2 last year. Time to go again, I suppose.

Hey Will, Whatever happened with the startup you were working on?

No, I plan on becoming Dash Rendar. I'm not coming back.

Just about anything that suits my mood. I do tend towards instrumental music when coding though. Lately it's been lots of Amon Tobin.

Apologies for the site being down at the moment. I'd reset the server but I'm in Chicago. I know that PLT Scheme recently had a system for optional types implemented and there was a paper posted on Lambda-the-ultimate.org. I think it's in S

I'm going to finalize this post tonight but in the meantime I want to elucidate the main point before the discussion gets off-topic. I was really trying to write more about the fact that the implementations and communities we have (which ar

No. At least, there are multiple compilers for it if you want to go by that. There are a variety of reasons that I didn't want to cover C/C++. I mention in the second paragraph that I'm interested in the subset of languages that have achiev

Hi. I acknowledge that this wasn't well defended. Honestly, I didn't know many people even read my site and I certainly didn't post the article expecting it to make it's way to Y-Combinator. It was a personal draft that I was going to touch
