I overwrote all my #reddit comments using Power Delete Suite #razit. I don't think PDS overwrote them all, and the copy of them it exported was missing formatting and even some newlines.I saved the Reddit page showing all my comments with all their proper formatting, but it's HTML5 (so no XSLT), and all the classes have obfuscated names.My first #commonlisp program is trying to untangle them.

@jaredj You first Common Lisp program? That sounds interesting. Which implementation do you use? Which editor? What was your experience learning Common Lisp?Many questions :-) It would be great if you could share a little.

@louis This one's with SBCL, using Emacs and Slime. I've been working separately on a backup program using Chicken Scheme, and I keep forgetting I have to write #'my-function in CL :) Learning - well, lately I read most of "Lisp from Nothing" by Nils Holm http://t3x.org and watched a bunch of talks on Youtube about interactive development. I guess this is motivation not learning :) A bit of collapseos.org, a bit of permacomputing, I saw Common Lisp was the most energy-efficient most dynamic language. I read a couple chapters of Practical Common Lisp, and a few of SICP.I don't know much of the flavor - I haven't used CLOS, written a CL macro, setf'd anything complicated, or written a program in loop's language. But I've exhausted the heap by improper recursion and changed a mapcar into a dolist to fix it. A little more imperative, a little less functional, in one little place.But, like when I'm running FreeBSD and when using Emacs, I like the feeling that the thing I'm using has been what it is for a long time.
