Per Bothner's personal blog at per.bothner.com covers programming and systems. Since 2008, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 18 times, most often “Kawa in Languages shootout (vs Java, Scala, Clojure, JRuby)”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Per Bothner's blog mainly for its Kawa Scheme JVM benchmark post, which compares Kawa with Clojure, and for slides on writing a 3-D game with Kawa. Comments only cite it; none judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionInteresting. It's frustrating when using programs with terrible line editing support because they've rolled their own. Hopefully this will work out well and then be widely adopted by non-free and smaller projects for which readline has been rejected. rlfe [1] is a wrapper that allows "any" program to use readline. At one point I hacked this so that I could get decent line editing in Matlab [2]. Matlab is particularl…

HN discussionIf you're looking for a fast JVM-based Lisp the obvious choice would be Kawa Scheme: http://per.bothner.com/blog/2010/Kawa-in-shootout/ But as fogus said, speed is only one piece of the puzzle. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4223562

HN discussionThe article at https://opensource.com/article/18/1/introduction-domterm-ter... is a good overview of what DomTerm is about. I've long been interested in how we can improve terminals/REPLs/consoles - I wrote the Emacs term mode in attempt to integrate shell mode with a real terminal emulator (though the attempt to replace shell mode did not "take"). (I reposted at the encouragement of moderator Daniel - thanks!) Some…

HN discussionThis old, but you might be able to rerun it. http://per.bothner.com/blog/2010/Kawa-in-shootout/ Back in 2010 Kawa looks to be beating Clojure pretty handily. Not sure how well Kawa fares under robovm. All worth a weekend hack for those with some time.

HN discussionA few terminals support special escape sequences for "shell integration", which allows nicer display and features for shells and other REPLs. In addition to the actual proposed specification (in the main article link), I've written an article with screenshots ( http://per.bothner.com/blog/2019/shell-integration-proposal/ ) to show what functionality this proposal enables, based on the current DomTerm implementation…
