For those of you have been programming for more than a decade, what programming languages, ecosystems, technologies do you wish you had spent more time with?
For me, it would be: #C, #Perl, #OpenZFS, #TLA+, #ErlangOTP .
(I have spent some time with #commonlisp, #clojure, #java, #rakulang so these are not listed.)

in which I write a "map editor" that's just the McCLIM formatting-table macro like it says on the back of the box.
(Dynamically resizing rows and columns of) symbols for now, I'll do images (named by the symbols) later.

I also briefly describe c. 2005 LAN parties in the context of WC3 being where I first heard the words "map editor" decades before I knew about computers.

Feedback on my course I got yesterday :]
> [The employees that we train in Common Lisp] said they can understand you very well, and that your approach is gentle.

> **They said you do a better job of teaching than Peter Seibel**.

BTW I'm working on the data structures chapter right now.

I'll improve the webpage sudoku formatting after the interview with Larian coming up in an hour ( https://anonradio.net:8443/anonradio )

Getting a little closer to stable SDF fonts.
Text color changes work (evidenced by dropdowns) with a small Core change to allow `(compose-in +blue+ <stencil-pattern>)` but I still need to do more investigation on the CLX side before it's upstream-ready.
Transformations and alignment work thanks to @jackdaniel 's work in core and I just extend it.
Finally, at the end we can see scaling in rectilinear state is messing up the text atlas UV calculation.
It seems to me, though I can't quite tell, that you require
(assert (equal ds (pathname-directory (make-pathname :directory ds))))
for all appropriate values of `ds' (modulo typos).
