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 …

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 appropri…

Click on the URL (" Help " when you start) or run the set-url command with `C-l`.

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 …

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 b…

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…

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?

I believe I answered most of your notes in the article ;)

(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 design…

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 …

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 pro…

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 wi…

Thanks for the list! :)

The binary dump feature is used by projects like StumpWM, Lem and Next.

Thanks for sharing!

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…

Didn't know about this, it looks very cool indeed! Thanks for sharing!

For immutable data structures, there is this helper library which can help: http://quickdocs.org/immutable-struct/

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 ha…

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 :(

A fun read with some good points, although many of them are a bit dated :p

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 progr…

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