Whoop whoop. Kanji police!
So last week I was in Tokyo, which means not much was going on at all. Or rather, so I had planned, but something amazing happened in the meantime. One evening I sat down to take a proper look at Caramel, the library I had intended to use for HTML manipulation/generation. I didn't like it. So then I thought back to what I really wanted. I wanted to have jQuery, but in Lisp. Not thinking too much about it, I opened emacs and wrote a small prototype function that would allow me jQuery like syntax. After about half an hour of twiddling around, I had a (wonky) first solution and it was brilliant.
Delays!
The "more later today" in the previous blog was a lie. I missed it because I had to pack... oh who am I kidding I was just a lazy faggot. Anyway, without further ado...
Here's the ones from yesterday.
Finally another entry. I'm just not feeling like it anymore recently.

Whenever one designs frameworks in which some of the more "core-y" functionality is supposed to be implementable by outside sources, a really difficult problem arises: How do you design the interface? Since this is a core functionality, a lot of other "modules" will depend on it and you can't have those write their functions 20 different ways just to cover all the different versions of one core part. But you also don't want to restrict the interface too much, because that would limit the capability of extending the base functions. It's even more problematic when this pluggable core system is supposed to be general purpose and no strict interface can be defined for each part of the core. So how do we deal with this?
The first eight were extremely confusing me when I first wrote them up. I can safely blame the fontset for that though, as now that I see it on my workstation it's much clearer what's going on. Regardless, this is still one of the hardest bunch I've had, so my commentary will be sparse at best.
Late oh late as always.
