Perfect perfect! :) You don't need to convince me as I've already started to use Emacs when I understood what it was... just... I've postponed the time in wich I'll really learn how to use it. Until now I've simply gone having two buffers, one with the repl and the other with a lisp file, so I was s...

Hello there :) I wuold like to pose you a question about the way you use to carry out an incremental programming style with emacs, or in general with the repl... at my very first steps, being used to have a structured-file-to-compile, I asked you how to execute a file from the repl, however after so...

Well I have to admit I yet have a little experience in Java too... but while it could seem to be a contradiction, at the moment I'm loving both the languages for quite opposite reasons, one for the rigid structure and the other for the freedom of actually "do what you think", or almost... ...

Perfect perfect... I got it! And I like this simmetry... thanks you ;)

Oh, perfect thank you!

I've tried the same way on different implem...

It's quite a coincidence that I came to read your post now, as it's just ten minutes that I've finished to read Sonja about multimethods :D Well, I have to admit to be a little doubtful about them... on the one hand, I like to have the possibility to do ...

I appreciate that, your help was much valuable also in this short space so, I'll come back soon to learn from your wisdom :D

Ok I give up The trying was instructive but probably doesn't worth to have more time spent on it, Sonja Keene has arrived, I'll come back to your samples with the new baggage of knowledge!
