Both. When I start adding type annotations, I'm usually aiming for a speed-up but more often it leads to reorganization and rationalization of the code. The code becomes more streamlined and beautiful. The post below resonates with me.

Common Lisp has (always had) a rich type system. You hardly pay any attention to it at all when you're prototyping but once your code has taken shape you can start adding type annotations and then it can really fly. So yes, types do ge

Clasp is an implementation of Common Lisp, a standard language and not a self-designed lisp as in the case of Lisp/C.

So arxiv served about 105000 different articles last year. I'm curious how much it cost and how that compares with what the big publishing houses tell us that should cost for their version of "open" publishing.

If that's the case, how can I plug the HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3 stack into Linux-PAM and use it to login to my remote servers instead of using ssh? Or are they not suitable for that?

You should check out Scheme. It has thorough documentation even including a complete formal denotational semantics.

It's Lisp code, more particularly Lisp syntax, and I mean that in the most general sense in which Clojure is Lisp syntax. So are Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket and Emacs Lisp. S-expressions: fully parenthesized prefix notation.

While I agree wholeheartedly with this point, I have to smile at it being made about one of the oldest programming languages still in use. In some ways Lisp has always been and continues to be the language of the future.

The adblocker test isn't very thorough. It just checks whether an image can be downloade from gstatic.com. It told me that I don't have an adblocker installed when in fact I have ublock origin with the setting that it can download

> Atom is a full featured text editor, like vim or emacs. I have to take issue with your notion of "full featured". Atom is a fine editor with plenty of features but it's orders of magnitudes short of emacs.

I never knew it either. Intriguing: significant white space on the right-hand side. At least you can see the significant whitespace in Python. I also have my editor configured to strip trailing whitespace but also to highlight it. People ca

> My guess is that most of the general purpose programming languages are usually poorly suited in one way or another for domain specific programming. For this reason, Lisp would be ideal for this.

In fairness, Neil Oliver talks like that all the time. If I were having a chat with him over a pint and he described someone as a "mercurial Spaniard", I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

The reason why some people say that Clojure isn't a lisp is that some of its design decisions such as those mentioned in the blog posting detract from the essence of lispiness. It goes too far to say that it's not a lisp but it&#x
