Uhh, I should also mention that I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on mobile.
oladon | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
http://www.Earsmith.com is a "completed" (but unpublicized and probably only used by me) project I'm proud of — it's for training your pitch sense.
(Edit to fix Earsmith URL.)
oladon | 2 years ago | on: Spinneret: A modern Common Lisp HTML generator
That said, I've been using Spinneret for a side project[1] for a while, and overall I'm very happy with it. It's nice to have macros like deftag and all the other magic powers of Common Lisp, and because of CL's syntactic simplicity, the templates remain easy to read and reason about while getting a lot done.
I recommend giving Spinneret a try!

We're an early-stage company. All of us here at ChatLingual share the "big picture" view and make intentional, well-considered decisions based thereon. When we make a decision to do something, we acknowledge and document the ramifications of that decision, including the things we're _not_ doing. We design systems and write code that we'll be proud of, and when that's not the case, we acknowledge it, document the details, and prioritize fixes appropriately.
ChatLingual gives businesses access to new markets by removing one of the oldest barriers to entry: language. We've built a platform that allows people to communicate in 89 languages, which companies can use to support their customers around the world. We are looking for two experienced, broadly-skilled engineers to join our team as we grow: we are currently hiring for one senior position.
Stack is Node.js, Postgres, Redis, and Angular hosted on AWS using Terraform. We get to deal with problems like horizontally scaling WebSocket servers, data pipelining, balancing power and flexibility with ease of use, and a lot of other bits of engineering fun.
More details can be found on AngelList[0] or by emailing us at [email protected]. You can also chat with me (hiring manager) on Freenode in #lisp or via PM.
Feel free to post comments with feedback/questions here or on Freenode — I'll be around.

I've coded a good deal in Perl, C, and Lua, and have been learning Scheme for quite some time as well. I'm comfortable with Linux (bash included), OS X, and Windows. I'm willing and able to learn new languages/systems.
Currently a senior majoring in Linguistics (human), though most of my jobs through college have been with computers.
Please feel free to email me -- my email address is in my profile.
