   I've come across his blog multiple times when I started with emacs and he seems like a cool guy(anyone that can spoon raw oatmeal into his mouth like it's the greatest thing ever is cool by my book). It's great he's aski

   I didn't even realize how nonsensical it looks to the average person until I read it over a few times. "Yep, change it to dead snake case; what's the problem here?"

   Not to mention emacs and the REPL. Emacs was my biggest hurdle learning Common Lisp. Learning a language - OK. Learning an editor - OK. Learning both at the same time - Not OK. I don't think light table was around at the time.

   If clojure is only a little bit better than ruby, is there a language you think is a lot better?

    Off the top of my head, they already exist for music/dance studios and real estate. You just don't come across them because you aren't looking.

    Getting the vim portions working in emacs was surprisingly easy. I didn't have a significantly modified vim so there wasn't much to port. Stuff like mapping jj to esc and Y to y$ was simple enough. I don't notice any differen

    I think the keywords are "developer community". People aren't going to trust each other if there's no sense of community. Are the people around you friends you haven't met or just plain strangers?

    I went through Learn Python the Hard Way years ago when I was a newbie programmer trying to wean off spaghetti php. I recall it didn't explain things thoroughly and often said FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF HERE'S SOME CODE AND EXERCISES.
