> This is the first news I've seen on HN in weeks that I am genuinely excited about! I have several AVX-2 hobby projects in Common Lisp, and an AVX-512 machine. It's an unexpected …

We would skip attrocity of JavaScript, JSON and XML.

I have read through your pdf and I think you make a best case for Lisp I have read in last few years. We could just imagine who programming languages would look like if we abandone…

(= * x x ^ x 2)

Not by me, but thought it was well written article with some good points. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Drew!

> setf is like referring to a mutable reference in C++ or Java. Setf is rather a computation of a reference, than a reference. A reference in Java and C++ is a pure pointer, with s…

And lambda calculus isn't even a programming language. The argument was like saying "C still tries to preserve something from Touring machine".

We need nsetf! :-)

I am with you, I think setf is making code repetitive and more verbose in many cases, however in this particular case, if you see (var *some-object* value) somewhere far away from …

Yeah, that is great idea, and I agree it sounds great on paper. However, some time ago, I have come to a conclusion that it soon becomes quite verbose and tedious. I think it worke…

Thank you for the paper, and for the work! Can I ask a newbish question: will this new GC be available on all OS:s and CPU architectures, or only on some? I don't see anything in t…

Yes, people used undocumented functions, which were left undocumented as they were a subject to change, and accused Microsoft of not understanding software development or thought t…

Yes, Raymond Chen describes such fixes in [several blog posts]( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ ) and in his book The Old New Thing. Check the old posts, back at the be…

Perhaps you wish to look at Common Lisp? I think it gets you covered in all those things you mention. There is distinct read, compile and evaluation phase, all exposed to the appli…

No, no; it wasn't was I meant; I clarified in the last one; release things for free for already non-paying customers for non-commercial use only, Qt style. I am hard to believe Boe…
