I do most of my programming lately in Not Quite Perl 6, a subset of Perl 6 targeting Parrot. Part of that is because it's currently the only high-level language included in Parrot's repository, and what I'm working on is mostly stuff that's

There are two ways you can interpret "users" when it comes to SaaS applications: Either the "user" is the person running the SaaS server, or the "user" is the person actually using a client to connect to and use the SaaS application. If the

I don't think that that is true, at least not for Common Lisp. How do you express any of the following constructs using only parentheses and symbols? #:foo #.(foo) #+ FOO (bar) #- FOO (baz) For the original Lisp, parentheses and symbols wer
