   I had a look at your software a while ago. I would probably use it if it was free. (I totally respect you for writing it though!)

   "Visual Content is better". Exhibit 1: Your website, instantly greeting me with a large "pleeeasse subscribe" pop-up. Wouldn't happen with RSS. :-)

   I'm not sure if Go is the best language for this task, but he might have his reasons.

   Win3mu seems to be an emulator, Wine does not.

   Clasp seems to be much slower than SBCL (yet?). But yes, the amount of libraries has surely grown over the past few years, probably even too much: http://eudoxia.me/article/common-lisp-sotu-2015

   Hmm, that makes "just clone the repository and you're done" rather hard. I'll reconsider... I added the list of packages to the README and I'll think about a good way to use ASDF without QL and/or usability los

    It can't log in for you, sorry. :-) But it should be able to process publicly visible contents.

    Yes, it does. But you might see that this does not just list new KiTTY updates but anything that happens on that website; which is not exactly handy, is it?

    Does your runtime still barf JVM stack traces? (attr.: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42&cpage=2#comment-16767 ) Leaving this aside (after all, it might or might not be a matter of taste), it totally is. The Common Lisp ecos

    Ah, I see, thank you. So I'll have to "install" the script into the registry before being able to just "use" it? :(

    Which might (and probably will) fail for a lot of websites.

    I see, thanks. Now I need to read up about ASDF systems (I haven't fully understood defsystem yet). I'll extend the README tonight. :-)

    RSS makes it easier to shuffle through the headlines.

    That would basically include Quicklisp again. I thought I shouldn't?

    Thank you. But what would be the preferred way to load the installed libraries then? (Sorry, I rarely read style books.)

    I use NewsBlur but I also keep a Tiny Tiny RSS installation ready as a fallback.

    Inline HTML/CSS would work too, but writing half of the software as a string would feel wrong.

    at EDIT: I don't care as long as it does the job. There's Caveman2 for a full-features web stack but I thought it was overkill. After all, the web UI is - more or less - an "add-on". :-)

    When I was young, everyone wrote a text editor. Today, everyone writes a framework. 2036 will be awesome.

    The only thing that is said to make Hugo better than other static site generators is that it compiles fast. This is probably because of Go. Now Go is so fast because it uses ALGOL's compiling methods... I wonder how fast Hugo would be

    Ha, yes, because, you know, burning coal for energy is better for the environment than burning gasoline.

    There are large packages like Gnus and TRAMP which are directly developed inside (and distributed with) Emacs, but, in theory, they should "just work" in the Guile version even after XEmacs support was dropped, right?

    It's not the language. I don't really like Scheme (I'm more a Common Lisp guy). I would, however, really love to see Emacs without the Emacs Lisp limitations because everything missing from Emacs - at least to me - is perform
