@oantolin There's tools and then there's tools. Before I got confident in #Emacs #Lisp I used to use (may god forgive me) Excel to do stuff like this.

Which was, I hope we can agree, unambiguously better than not being able to automate those processes. But not ideal.

We have lost so much in thirty or forty years, worst of all the autonomy to automate.

"But it feels like something from the seventies!" Yes, correct, that is exactly how it feels. Like something I can understand, control, and USE

Resurrected Sandewall's #softwareIndividuals from 2014.

This episode is dedicated to general purpose interaction in the software individual / #CAISOR paradigm.

Next will be porting the dynamicwindows zetalisp zwei to McCLIM #commonlisp.

TIL RMS on extending #emacs #lisp

"We're willing to extend it some now, but we don't want to extend it to the level of common Lisp. I implemented Common Lisp once on the Lisp machine, and I'm not all that happy with it. One thing I don't like terribly much is keyword arguments [8]. They don't seem quite Lispy to me; I'll do it sometimes but I minimize the times when I do that."

Thanks, Richard, for keeping us stuck in the middle ages.

Fixed: typo.

#Emacs + #LISP + Prot = a book! is the short #format for this:
- "Emacs Lisp Elements" is the title!
- "A big picture view of the Emacs Lisp programming language" is the subtitle!
- "Protesilaos Stavrou, also known as “Prot”" is the author! (and an expert well known!)
- protesilaos.com/emacs/emacs-li is the URL
- Happy reading & happy emacsing is the conclusion here!

Protesilaos Stavrou · Emacs Lisp ElementsThis book, written by Protesilaos Stavrou, also known as ‘Prot’, provides a big picture view of the Emacs Lisp programming language.

Thanks to a link here I tried the #barium #lisp gui library. It's very impressive what it's capable of. It's not even that difficult to put together a code with a nice interface. Really nice job, and the first GUI library for lisp that I've been able to implement things easily.
