Lisp Tumblog: A Couple More Gross Insights
Posted by Daniel Lyons Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:15:00 GMT
I have implemented paging using the SERIES macros, but now I have no idea how to implement the actual next/previous links. Well, the next link is really the one I’m worried about. :)
I rewrote the HTML template portion and so 2/5ths of the pages are now generated in a reasonably nice way. I would say there are now maybe a hundred or 150 lines of code I like in the program. I may have made a (possibly false) observation about the Lisp/Haskell dichotomy:
When you program Haskell, the program starts out beautiful and gets uglier and uglier as gets closer to completion. When you program Lisp, the program starts out ugly and gets more and more beautiful as you factor it into correctness.
We’ll see if it pans out as I finish implementing the tumblog.
