Astoundingly, the US Department of Defense is still paying money for Symbolics Lisp support!

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:

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.
