It's an unnecessary detail (the continuation I mean) there is no need to bother the user of the framework with that detail. It's hidden in code like this... (call 'componentname :param1 value1 :param2 value2) and (defaction are-you-sure ((

It uses things called components which are like objects but represent either a page or portion of a page. It's really easy to prototype in it.

Fair comment. But I have used F# a little which is heavily influence from OCaml. IMHO until you have atleast a soft real time problem that you are solving, it just isn't worth worrying about code performance. It's more important to worry ab

Shawn, Try emacs with slime. I think Bill Clementson's Blog has a link to a movie which shows the power of it. I use Visual Studios for my day job. And its poor when compared to emacs+slime. Not only can you goto source code of any function

VMWare on macosx isn't that good. But parallels is excellent assuming you have macbook or macbook pro. I run ubuntu and it works like a dream.

He lost me at "since its strongly typed....". That's not a feature, its a bug in most cases.

Once it's launched, contact the same blogs that she has and say look we've already started, you don't need to wait. Force her to launch earlier than she wants to. The other thing I'd say is some 37Signals advice. Hold back some completed f

Macbook Pro with Ubuntu 6 on Parallels. Best of both worlds. As you are probably not going to be running Macosx on your servers. This way you have an excellent dev env, and a vm which you can mess about with for your code.

Use hashtable for everything. So Person who has a name address age and occupation is represented as a hashtable with those fields. When you want to add a new field like emailaddress it's just another key in the hashtable. Ideally you want t

SBCL on linux. Lightening fast. In some benchmarks it even beat C. The thing to remember with lisp is that you'll need to work to get your program to be efficient. It's not too much work but it's definitely something you'll need to do.

For me saying what a function does isn't good enough, when one is documenting an api. Examples are a must. The other problem is that the lisp packaging system is a bit weird. If a library doesn't have an ASDF definition its almost non-exist

I think there is potential in Web OS. But they can't be a defacto replacement of the desktop interface. I think the wufoo approach is better than say the youos approach.

Most people say that you shouldn't use lisp because it doesn't have libraries. Well they are only half right. You shouldn't use lisp, because most lisp libraries have very little documentation. Lisp has a lot of libraries. You have to be w

I'd use a continuation based framework to get started. Seaside for smalltalk, plt-scheme or UCW in lisp. I've been using UCW to develop my project. It makes it really easy to think about the problem. You serve a page, the page has actions (

More than the need for different skills. I think as a single founder you have to be willing to wear all of these hats. The big assumption that everyone makes with multiple founders is that everyone contributes and that the founders really

I would agree with that if you wanted to pick up the syntax. The initial chapters of either R5RS and Ansi CL don't make it obvious how scheme/lisp are different from Algol, except the (()).

Monaco is really nice. It is included in the Mac.

Scheme is cleaner than common lisp. I think Gambit-C has an implementation of Erlang's message passing and mailbox idea for each process and in addition to that it doesn't use OS threads for individual processes it uses first class continua

The article is too long and not that well written. The biggest problem is that, however good the writer they are never going to be able to communicate the power of lisp in prose. It's upto the audience to see it. For those who know lisp, th

I think you can't pay salary. What about expenses? I think if it's profitable (won't that be nice in the 1st 3 months) one can always pay dividends to shareholders.

So maybe do a tourist visa for the 3 months. Then sort it out properly later. Is that what you would suggest?

It was bound to happen. All the known ones will probably have to pay some sort of a toll. I wonder if the community will care enough to fight back?
