Astoundingly, the US Department of Defense is still paying money for Symbolics Lisp support! https://www.usaspending.gov/Pages/AdvancedSearch.aspx?k=symbolics

Extraordinary project of the day: a C compiler that compiles via Common Lisp! https://twitter.com/
Eshell is extraordinary and well worth learning. You can use both shell command and Emacs commands! http://t.co/rZ6lo5MSrp
I'm fascinated to learn there are natural-language-specific frameworks. For example, KumbiaPHP http://t.co/mk0abgVzaw is purely in Spanish.
http://t.co/N6d7rXHXfR well worth your time. Exploiting compiler bugs, hypervisor vulns using x86 'branch delay slots', and malicious NUMS!
The only disadvantage is that you're forced to write quite a lot of unsafe code when you use LLVM via FFI. The rest is safe though. (2/2)
Rust is a lovely language to write compilers in. The pattern matching support makes code very readable. (1/2)
If you can't type C-M-h without your desktop intercepting the shortcut, don't forget <ESC> can substitute M! <ESC> C-h is equivalent.
If you're using Docker on your local machine, there's now a cute Emacs mode for managing images and containers: https://github.com/Silex/docker.el
Emacs shortcuts of the day: C-M-a moves to beginning of a function, C-M-e to the end, and C-M-h selects it.
Writing an autocomplete tool for IDEs is an interesting problem. Rust is using AST pruning, C# uses lazy compilation http://t.co/zabM0tsthH

The 10 most active programmers on GitHub are mostly slinging PHP! https://gist.github.com/paulmillr/2657075 (It's too easy to live in a bubble, I had no idea)
"Editors such as vim and emacs should just work." -- a goal of WebAssembly https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Tooling.md (presumably that's how wasm hackers roll)
I'm interested to see if WebAssembly produces debugging tools as good as browser JS Browsers compete on JS tooling, and it shows.
Emscripten has gone from being a fantastic hack to a major influence in web programming. WebAssembly will be supported from day one!
I sometimes feel a need to apologise when helping people learn git. It's tricky. The only consolation is that it's an really useful skill.
Jekyll 2.6.0 should be significantly faster: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/3116
Amazingly, believing willpower is finite reduces your willpower: http://t.co/PjTOuDnnjp though disbelief has limits: http://t.co/wg3kJgB3EE
Smalltalk is an amazingly small language. Even lisp seems relatively complex in comparison.
