7:18:39 rainthree mesaoptimizer: I am not sure he understands CLOS well. He quotes Paul Graham... https://borretti.me/article/inheritance-disjunctions

7:36:36 mesaoptimizer I see

8:24:03 rainthree dbotton: does CLOG have the feature of automatic updating the html in browser (through websockets) when a relevant lisp function that generates the html (or part of the html) is recompiled? So that one doesn't have to manually refresh the page after each change

8:29:52 rainthree dbotton: question2: as the user clicks on a button (navigation button, let's say) in a site made with reblocks(weblocks), only the relevant part of the html will be updated, without the need to refresh the whole page. Does CLOG support that?

8:59:56 rainthree "It would be interesting to know why a function as fundamental as fold was not included in the Common Lisp standard." https://www.n16f.net/blog/reduce-vs-fold-in-common-lisp/ "One of the worst things copied from Common Lisp to Clojure: non-Monoidal binary reduce" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTI0RCaEpOY

9:01:36 dbotton Question 1 yes rainthree

9:02:12 dbotton 2 also yes

9:03:10 beach I think I know the reason why something "as fundamental as fold was not included...". Because if every function that some person thinks is fundamental were included, then the standard would be many times its current size, and the current size is already considered too big by some.

11:45:53 rainthree bravo: my guess is that reduce is more fundamental in CL than fold
