Phew. Just as I was beginning to despair of the mountain of patches and exciting new stuff to look at (tbmoore's linkage table, which allows CMUCL to resolve references to foreign code at runtime; Gerd Moellmann's "PCL for the 1990s", which includes so many bugfixes along with new optimizations; bug fixes, McCLIM, and so on), along comes a mail that makes my heart sing, and restores my faith that it's all worthwhile. A chap of whom I've never heard takes the lisp environment that I work on, and makes it work on a previously unsupported OS. Nice work, Valtteri.
Meanwhile, quasi-audition for music school tomorrow; fun fun fun.
