I think the ease of parsing is a big reason why so many lisp implementations exist. Parsing is much less fun than semantics.
Flycheck (already a must-have package) is getting even better! http://t.co/VjM6AKXT8I

Hat tip to @bruceconnor finding the cause of a byte-compilation bug that disappears when you use edebug! https://github.com/Bruce-Connor/fancy-narrow/issues/9#issuecomment-51724790
Emacs' help has a rather simple display of syntax tables -- just lists of integers. Not terribly helpful.
Template Haskell is comparable to readermacros: http://t.co/fSFAmXZo4P (short worthwhile read)
Wow, http://t.co/E3bT0HCa3l was served by a lisp machine until 2001! http://t.co/pYcwWalg1K
