Hidden 13 paragraphs down the third page is the first actual description of the project:
> So FSet has a dual mission: first, to bring Common Lisp up to date, by giving it a much richer ensemble of functional collection data structures, to greatly expand the space of algorithms that can be written in an elegant functional style and still run efficiently; and second, as with Clojure, to support and encourage the use of functional collections for general programming.
Cool project but the docs could be greatly improved by putting the purpose of the project front and center. Don't make readers guess.
- ScottBurson 6mo agoOkay, I buried the lede :-) Good suggestion, thanks.
- ScottBurson 6mo agoIf you see this — have another look — I think I've improved it.
- arikrahman 6mo agoNot OP but it looks great! Your humility is much appreciated. I am excited for the Lisp community, and will follow this approach to CL as I do with Jank's approach to Clojure.
- binary132 6mo agoI don’t know how it was before, but I found this immediately.
- girvo 6mo agoI didn’t see the old one, but the current page made it clear straight away!
