You and your LISP obsession. It's not 1975, baby! (Checks calendar briefly.) No, it's not.

Lisp developers have the satisfaction of knowing that they got it right 30 years before anyone else. But that's about all they have to show for 40 years of hard work and hundreds of millions of dollars in government and private funding. These days, most former Lisp programmers are stuck using Unix and Microsoft programming environments and, not only do they have to put up with these inferior environments, but they're saddled with the mournful knowledge that these environments are inferior.

Yup. A window manager in Emacs lisp. I'm using Eric Ludlam's elisp X protocol code as a base; unfortunately, the Emacs binary doesn't expose the X11 C-level routines to Lisp.

You my man are one crazy sob, but you are the one who deserves mad props for trying such a crazy feat!

I know what you're doing, and you need to stop. Have you given a single thought to what sort of havoc you may wreak with this frankenstinian creation? You may well destroy the fabric of spacetime with this unholy experiment. Stop now.

Hmmm, perhaps you're right.

Nahhh, this is way too cool. :)
