Talking with a Lisp
Personal blog · z0ltan.wordpress.comprogrammingsystems
Talking with a Lisp is a personal blog at z0ltan.wordpress.com about programming and systems. Since 2008, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 7 times. The last post was in 2021, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a Common Lisp introduction to conditions and restarts, and for a post about moving away from Rust, which a commenter cited when comparing D with Rust.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
> how much easier is D than Rust https://z0ltan.wordpress.com/2017/02/21/goodbye-rust-and-hel... D gets tricky for resource management and avoiding GC. > how much safer is D than C++. Bounds checking and default initialization alone fix most memory errors you may have in C++.
