So basically nix-shell ?

There’s a tiny but of overlap in principle, but you can use dagger shell without having to learn a new language and the interface is much simpler. Give it a try and let me know which you prefer!

This is just a "lisp image", right? [with the attendant pros/cons ...]

Smalltalk for their paper, but yes. Same concept.

I discovered the Garmin Instinct last year, and was very happy to switch to it from my Apple Watch.

Hard to read this with all the ads cluttered in.

Ironically, Safari would render this cleanly with 1 click.

Or, consider Yuriy's fork, *Otus* Lisp

[more features, works in browsers vis webassembly too]

Ah a Naggum re-discovery.

See a yearly index here: https://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/

I went through the whole thing a few years ago, there are some gems hidden in there.

This is all quite good too: http://www.schnada.de/grapt/eriknaggum-xmlrant.html

Great to see someone take down XML, what a nightmare. Of course for markup nowaday we use the pragmatically simple "README.md" not "README.xml", although I'm sure the latter is quite popular amongst Java circles.

Take a look at Gerbil Scheme

Interesting that this is Clojure :-)

Clojure + TS seems to be a good way to go, without being hung up on CLJS.

TS as in TypeScript? They're on two very opposite ends of a spectrum, what would you use it for if you're already using Clojure? And what's the "hang up" with CLJS?

I'm dreaming about a Next-like framework that will do React SSR in GraalVM JS engine but will do data fetching, routing and other stuff in Clojure.

I recently started a project with C#/.Net8 with Sveltekit using adapter-static, and it’s been pretty great so far.

Different tech, obvs, but similar spirit. I like the idea of starting with my own monolith with a clear path to breaking out the frontend in the future if we need to scale.

This is something RoamResearch is squarely a good fit for.

It's very useful for personal capture (with digressions etc) but also handles the "multi-player" case if needed.

I like Roam Research too! However, it's not a tool for complex discussions.

... and versions etc too

Sounds like he'd like Coalton

CL-embedded langs like Coalton and April are mentioned in the article.
