Python expresses destructuring bind using: x, y = foo, bar It occasionally comes in handy. It certainly does suggest there's compatibility with VAR syntax. Haskell's `do` notation also supports destructuring bind the Pytho

I know what the difference is between LET and LET*. What you haven't provided is a motivation for forcing the programmer to worry about that. It seems there's no concrete example of where unstarred LET would be better. If a progra

Why would a variable declaration be executed conditionally, unless you can somehow GOTO past the declaration? CL doesn't let you do that, does it? > top level lexical scope What does this mean? Every single other language lets you w

I think SETF only reassigns a variable that's already been declared. DEFVAR defines a dynamically-scoped global variable, no? So why doesn't Common Lisp let you write `(VAR new-var new-val)` like every single other language, and

Broad question about Lisp conventions: Why can't you just define each variable in a separate line, instead of batching those definitions up at the top? This seems like a confusing break from convention. In C-derived languages, you can

I get your point. Acquiring the data is the hard part, and they cheated to get it. It's chicken and egg indeed.

The point -- which I don't think you got -- is that extremely generic ingredients like high-quality data (which is the point of Stockfish here) and very deep Transformer-type Neural Networks, are enough to nearly match the performance
