There are several IDEs for specific Lisps, like Dr Racket or the Lispworks implementation of Common Lisp. There's also Emacs, which is kind of like a Lisp-based IDE, and Slime is a really good Common Lisp plugin for it.

Sheldrake strikes me as a revival of the early modern scientist, someone who would have been at home in the early heyday of the Royal Society—an insatiably curious English gentleman who asks questions from fundamentals and wants to test eve

Doesn't CLOS count? That was a lot earlier.

This article and site are so bland that they kind of make the case for the opposite.

Truth may not be the answer to lies (in any straightforward way), but bureaucratic committees deciding what's true is hella not the answer to lies. This is so obvious that the weird part is smart people acting otherwise. I'm surpr

Common Lisp is another obvious candidate. SBCL, for example, is known for performance.

This seems like overinterpretation. I don't disagree with your feelings but we don't know to what extent this was a factor and it's hardly as if SO is shutting down.

Part of why they seem particularly unctuous is that the article is written specifically to make them seem that way.

Yes, but the opposite tends not to work either, and the precedents on that side are much darker.

That's a perfectly legitimate question and it's surprising that the reporter didn't follow up on it. But if he were lying about that at this point, it would certainly ruin him, so it's probably true. The part that I find

You're right. Another issue is the age divide. Younger people: harder hit economically, less so by the virus; older people: harder hit by the virus, less so economically. This can only worsen the class fissure which had already develop

I read this when it came out and found it lame. It has the pretense of being an investigative hit piece, with all the length and gloss, but there's almost nothing to it. They come across as a bunch of painfully awkward geeks who are tr

I have not read the book and am missing the point. Can I get a literal explanation?
