A new way of blogging about Common LISP

From Klipse.tech: A new way of blogging about Common LISP. This is huge! It is not only about Common LISP. It is ybout the forgotten dream: A long time ago, all the developers had a common dream. The dream was about interactivity, liveness, evaluation. But we put this dream aside - because the browser understands only javascript. And after a while, we even forgot that we ever had this dream. Still, there are some people that didn’t forget this dream, like Alan Kay: Question: Well, look at Wikipedia — it’s a tremendous collaboration. Alan Kay: It is, but go to the article on Logo, can you write and execute Logo programs? Are there examples? No. The Wikipedia people didn’t even imagine that, in spite of the fact that they’re on a computer. The klipse plugin is a small step toward this dream: it is a javascript tag that transforms static code snippets of an html page into live and interactive snippets: Live: The code is executed in your browser Interactive: You can modify the code and it is evaluated as you type Klipse is written in clojurescript, The following languages are supported by Klipse - in any modern browser (including mobile): clojure, ruby, javascript, python, scheme, es2017, jsx, brainfuck, c++, ocaml, reason and Common Lisp.
