TIL there are multiple developer tools called asdf!
(1) https://github.com/fare/asdf (Common Lisp build tool)
(2) https://asdf-vm.com/ (manages installed PL runtimes, like a generic nvm or rbenv)
I'm surprised multiple folks like the name, I'd worry that it's easy to forget.

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics.
It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
I've released difftastic 0.65! Highlights of this release:
* Better parsing of Clojure, Common Lisp, Kotlin, Rust and Zig.
* Quality of life improvements for binary files.
I've seen "cons cells" and "cons pairs", but today I saw "conses", which is new to me.
(Clearly Lisp has no downsides, only pros and cons! 🙃)
