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 used to think repositories with multiple packages were a niche feature (cargo workspaces in Rust, Lerna in JS), but they're really valuable for the ecosystem. Large projects will naturally develop mature, reusable code. Making it easy to release their helpers is worthwhile.

Unison has a really nice docstring model, with helpers to interpolate values or function syntax! https://www.unisonweb.org/docs/documentation/
