A fresh linux install also makes me realise how few programs I use regularly. I've only installed Emacs, Firefox, a few interpreters/compilers and vlc. I keep thinking I must be missing something, but I haven't needed anything else yet.

Shims (implementations of built-in functionality missing from your current interpreter) are a mature concept in JS. I love that there are even standards now, setting expectations for how to plug them in: https://github.com/es-shims/es-shim-api (An incomplete, best-effort shim is a "sham"!)

The Guile contributors are some extremely talented lispers. Missing a parenthesis in lisp docs is done by every lisper once in a while though :)
