FSet v2.4.2: CHAMP Bags, and v1.0 of my FSet book!

A couple of weeks ago I released FSet 2.4.0 , which brought a CHAMP implementation of bags, filling out the suite of CHAMP types.  🚀  FSet ...

I'm honored to be invited again to give a keynote talk at ELS'26 in Kraków. See you there :)

I wonder if anyone has made a low-level #Lisp that is specifically designed to be semantically close to #WASM code, so that it compiles to be very very efficient (kinda like how Lua is really fast because it’s very semantically similar to C code, which is what its interpreter is written in)

like WASM already reads kinda like a Lisp to me, and I bet that would run crazy fast

(I’ve been tempted to do this several times I’m ngl. I think I want to learn WASM one of these days. sadly most of the “learn WASM” tutorials are more like “learn how to compile some shitty language like C++ to WASM”)

I decided to use steel-flavored scheme lisp in my website rust rewrite instead of kdl.

I got a very basic version to work. It's still missing layouts, listings, assets, and much more stuff but is very elegant!

And once again, from this lambent essay, which I strongly urge you to read for yourself in its entirety:

"Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn." — Minas Karamanis

(And this is precisely why I am currently trying to write a compiler for #Lisp 1.5)

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.

On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

Are you using Lisp applications of Medley Interlisp or doing coding projects? We would love to hear what you are doing with the system.

"#Emacs is a #Lisp machine."

I've said it before and I've been blasted for saying It. It's nice to hear someone else saying that.

I am going to give the PALE (Picture and Animation Library for Emacs) a try. Building it by hand, let’s see if I can get it working as a Linux Mint native build (no Guix or anything).
