There is also Spacemacs, which imho, is much better than Emacs + Evil.

+10. agreed, logitech solar keyboard is IIRC the first one where I haven't had a chance to think this keyboard does not work well. It has just faded in the background. Nothing to bother about the…

And that applies irrespective of a newcomer is junior or senior. There is hardly a substitute for a fresh pair of eyes t to reveal what one thinks is cool design, code et al is not so cool after all.

Common Lisp (Emacs, Slime) or LispWorks (which has a free personal edition). After using live image based development, going back to the edit, compile, test cycle is like going back to the stone age. …

I would recommend Chapter 8 of `Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction` by David T. [1] It is the most lucid explanation of recursion using the story-telling format. After working through this chapter, I …

Formally, I think this to be a good list of fudamentals: programing paradigms, algorithms, data structures, compilers, operating systems, networking, math for CS. What else would you recommend adding …

Anyone knows what 3D visualization software may have been used to generated these views?
comment
Vow, I did not know that. I had tested with beta ios runtimes, then it was not possible. So now you connect the iOS device, change code in slime, recompile and you can see live updates on the device. …
comment
Yes, you are right. I was not explicit in that I meant while mocl does offer a run time repl, it is not the same as a true CL desktop environment. Thanks for pointing my mistake.
comment
I have tried both, but then do not offer the live interactivity that is possible when running off a desktop Lisp implementation. I guess this is so because we are not running a lisp image on the mobil…

This is awesome. Is there an ecl-ios repo? I could not find it on gitlab.common-lisp.net. Sorry if it is there, as I only had a quick glance on the repo.
comment
While I do not deny the value of automated tests, the ability to do incremental, live updates when rapidly prototyping is indispensable.

Has anyone who has used this know if like any other Lisp, one can do live editing while the app is running on the actual mobile device? For example: i have the app running and it fails, I go to emacs,…

Why not learn just one of these:
- programming languages with different paradigms (Functional, Imperative, Logic etc)
- Data structures and algorithms (implement a few in each paradigm)
- Compilers

pg wrote an essay on what an essay is and how you can write one. [1] The most important take away from it was to not to write an essay to defend a position, but to write one so you can express your i…

If someone is launching only Vim from tmux, it possibly is an overkill. I have stayed put with Vim, Tmux and shell, a very capable triumvirate. It allows one to build your own IDE. Especially when you…
