BTW, it's pretty interesting to see how AI-era Lisp users deal with... webserver crashes. His post was from 11 days ago.
The ALU has always been an enigma to me.

Re: What happened to Lisp.org?
Oops, forgot to respond. Duane Rettig mentioned : The ALU's machine, "bibop", has crashed hard. We're working very hard to bring the website back up. Part of the problem is that bibop is a very old machine, and we had already been discussing replacement strategies. The crash comes at a bad...

I've seen people on that list at European meetings, so I imagine it's not hard to meet up with them...

Re: Favorite "underrated" Lisp feature?
Yeah, you can often MacGyver a rabbit out of your hat with things like generic functions. For instance, someone mentioned the superiority of Haskell's notation for splitting definitions up: fib 0 = 0 fib 1 = 1 fib n = fib (n-1) + fib (n-2) To be cute, I responded with: (defmethod fib ((n (eql 0))) 0...

Favorite "underrated" Lisp feature?
What's your favorite "underrated" Lisp feature? For me, it's special variables. Those things reeeally save me from messy situations. Setting up contexts, so I don't have to change much code. Though funnily enough, I've seen someone abuse the hell out of them. For instance, there'd be code ...
