Reminds me of a time when i created a library to work with iterators in lisp, inadvertently naming it cl-iterators[0], as far as the naming convention of common lisp libraries went at that time. Some folks(including me!) on reddit had lots of fun with the unfortunate name.

Recommended read: Dopesick from Beth Macy. For a non-American, it reads like a horror script.

Oh yeah...or eww within Emacs works like a charm as well :)

Ephemerality sounds like JIT but for apps. Seems the necessary stuff to run the app will be downloaded dynamically and cached locally to run later. Though, why cant be this done in the current setup? What are the limitations that fuschia overcomes in this regards?

Hmmm, frankly its just a CLOS object, with the defmethods controlling the iteration. I tried to model the object like Python iterators, however the API ended up a bit more like Haskell.

Shameless plug: I had created a similar library[0] for common lisp, though it didn't use conditions and restarts, also lacked a definitive yield construct. It still is profound how a major feature for other programming language is trivial to add to common lisp.

Halt production? It seems these soylent formulations are versioned. So can't they revert back to an older version till they fix the issue? Or its not as simple as this?

I wonder if the HURD guys will finish and when. Can somebody comment on the continued existence of this project even though the ideas propogated by it(microkernels) have been well adopted into the mainstream?

Your response sounds more like the religious groups howling "world will end" whenever a new scientific progress is made. Internet survived because of its obvious commercial value. Google and Facebook are doing nothing new but making their ends meet.
