    (map link-expander list-of-links) I wonder what it looks like in Arc. Does HN keep any of its codebase public?

      There's a very old version at http://arclanguage.com/ http://arclanguage.com/, but the current codebase isn't public. FWIW, here's the Arc code I wrote to generate a string of the form "Italicized Title - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=$ID https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=$ID - Month Year (n comments)". The variable i stands for item, which is HN's term for a post (story, comment, or poll): (def biblioref (i) (let mon (monthdate (date i!time) 'short) (tostring (if (astorypoll i) (do (pr "*" (subst i!title "*" "\\*") "* - " (fullurl:item-url i!id) " - " mon" (" (plural i!klive "comment") ")")) (do (pr (fullurl:item-url i!id)) (unless (is mon (monthdate (date) 'short)) (pr " (" mon ")"))))))) Not that elegant but maybe not too bad.

        I like it! Here's one I use to decide from a list of free-form submissions whether to generate a link or a Google search: (fn [pair-of] (let [text (get pair-of 1)] (cond (clojure.string/starts-with? text "http") (list [:a {:href text} (truncate text 60)] [:br]) :else (list [:a {:href (str "https://google.com/search?q=" text)} text] [:br])))) Doesn't always work but works often enough! ;)
