@amoroso Great old list on CL goodness 😃
About 23 years ago over lunch Peter Norvig surprised me by talking about the benefits of Python, something I resisted for a couple of decades. My modern uv based Python setup is so pleasant to use that I only use Common Lisp and various Schemes about 25% of the time now. For me two things keep CL dev pleasant: Quicklisp and useful services like LLMs and access to external data sources that can be easily accessed.

@mark_watson What do you like of Quicklisp? Isn't the Python package ecosystem much bigger?

@amoroso It's a great list. It deserves visibility.
@mark_watson Can we not keep Python out of the loop? It has nothing of those Lisp features.

@vindarel Right, the list is a sort of executive summary of Common Lisp.

I am rarely. I recognize that note-taking is often unfairly gendered and as a man I should offset that and put more effort into volunteering. I also know that the person taking notes has less time and focus to speak -- a double penalty. I am going to try to shift from rarely to often; I'd like to be doing more of my fair share.

@mos_8502 on one hand, violence is a language they're very comfortable with and enthusiastic about (as long as it's directed at those they view as worthless), while decent Americans generally aren't. Trump likes the violence and protects those who commit violence on his behalf. But, I don't know how you peacefully respond to cold-blooded murder in broad daylight with dozens of witnesses and three or four camera angles, if there are no consequences.

@swelljoe Everyone has a breaking point, a point after which they become a much more dangerous version of themselves. I too wonder where that point is for the collective population of the US.

The more I think about, "I'm not mad at you" the more heartbroken I am. How can this go on? How can we let this go on?

@krisfreedain @btp @fosstodon Our DeepL limit has now been expanded from 1.5 million characters to 2.5 million characters, for only €15 a month more (€50 pm in total). Translation should work again.
Thanks for the message @ryo 😊
