My experience is that poor naming sometimes comes as a consequence of poor types modeling. Poor naming then makes IRL discussions about the code very clumbersome. So step 1 of good naming (and good discussions) is good types modeling. And y

Is there a kind of walkthrough/tutorial about how to develop a little Lisp interpreter? That sounds like a fun experiment. PS: Sorry, I am a Java OO developper. But I like to learn :)

It is much easier to send on Titan a bunch of seaweeds, various seeds, etc. And let an ecosystem eventually arise by itself. Of course, we should send some bibles too. So the Titan creatures can learn who/what their mighty creator is.
