HN discussion> Well I can do runtime checks just as easily in Clojure, but I'm really talking about compile time checks. Take a look at this: http://ahungry.com/blog/2015-07-10-Type-Safety-and-Lack-Ther... It shows you a 9-lines macro for CL, that allows you to declare types in a way resembling Haskell, and having the compiler do the static checks. Very nice. Another example is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8598149

HN discussionI don't understand why gleam and pandoc are in there. Org-mode can already generate HTML. A little bit of Emacs Lisp turns it into a blogging engine. https://ahungry.com/blog/2013-04-01-blogging-with-org-mode.h...

HN discussionOrg mode and html export. If you want to be fancier, there is this: http://ahungry.com/blog/2013-04-01-blogging-with-org-mode.ht... There might be other stuff like that as well. I just use org directly, though I guess in a "blog-like" manner rather than as a true blog.
