It might be a good time to summarize #GRASP development in April.

The main highlight this month was obviously #EuropeanLispSymposium and the recording of my demo is already available in the Twitch stream of the conference: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1802213330?t=04h49m00s (my talk starts at 4h:49m).

Overall I feel that it was very well received and sparked a lot of interest, which made me happy. It was also fun to go to Amsterdam (even though the whole enterprise was rather costly), and the event itself was great.

I also drew a UFO on my github worklog, so now I'll have a deserved week off.

The development webt much slower than I was hoping for. The current implementation isn't yet a useful app. I've been stuck implementing quasi-quotations and such, which is probably still going to take a few more weeks. I had to revive the code for supporting extensions (which is what the mechanism of quasiquotations is supposed ro utilize), and it needed some improvement.

Actually, I begun to wonder whether using cons-cells to represent expressions on screen was really such a good idea. It seems to have cause a lot of confusion, so it might be a good idea to change the representation one day?

I don't know.

I feel that I really need vacation!

(Also, I have time until Sunday for submitting a talk to StrangeLoop. I will try my best, but honestly I'm not expecting much)
