Topic: Blog
The legendary Lisp
hacker Bernie
Greenberg
is said to have
once remarked that a CONS is an object which cares.
In
2007 I started a blog with that name. Over the five years that a
CONS is an object which cares was active it cultivated a
presence in the programming blogosphere. Several people told me that
it was one of their favorite blogs, several
people flamed
me for
controversial
posts, I even
got profiled
by Vsevolod
Dyomkin as part of
his series on Lisp
Hackers.
In 2012 I stopped blogging. Late in 2017 I decided to get back into writing, on my terms: no ads, no tracking, no bloated illegible styling or multi-megabyte JavaScript. Just quality, well-referenced content. I took the good posts from a CONS is an object which cares, edited them for writing style, fixed broken links where possible, added more primary sources, and re-hosted the posts here. I will be posting a backlog of new article drafts I have queued up, and continuing to write new posts.
The new blog is powered by the latest hotness in declarative functional reactive web frameworks, GNU Make.
