Zepp Holzer is the master of this dichotomy. The thought is that Humans have already used (abused?) machinery such as bulldozers and chainsaws to drastically reduce the water holding capacity of the landscape, and our task is to use these m

Curious to your logic in determining that? As far as I understand it, the freely available digital version of PCL aided in the selling of the dead-tree book?

Wonderful topic for a book. I don't see a price for the electronic version? Will it be free such as Practical Common Lisp?

Some people are actually conscientious objectors to having their money being used to topple democratically elected governements, running drugs into inner cities, and to further fuel the long violent decline of evil empires, for example.

I hate to be that guy, but should I switch to a browser with javascript just to see the landing page?

Nice! FWIW, in links on the linux framebuffer, which has no javascript OR CSS, thank the lord of speedy renderings, the site you generate is ideal and pops in less than 100ms.

See my other comment. You are correct. Nowadays they usually don't but there are frameworks that can give you javascript-free web applications, albiet with less functionality.

Downvoting due to my misunderstanding? This is a static-site creation app so makes sence that it would require javascript even if the resulting page does not. Are there any pages created with this thing I can look at?

Hmm. Curious. How is it slow for you? I switched about a year ago to see what all the fuss was about and piled on as many addons as I could and yes it was slow - to start, but not to use. Which, if you like to pop up new terminals all the t

Very nice description of the power of the Common Lisp REPL. Did you have the pleasure (?) of working on any of the lisp machines? I got into Common Lisp in the early 90's and even then, with GCL and CMUCL, it blew my mind at how much m
