mine is a brand new IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp, built from the ground up with one purpose: To make Coalton and Common Lisp easier and more accessible to the programming world.
TL;DR? Go to mine's homepage with downloads for Windows/macOS/Linux. mine is a complete, single-download application that comes with everything needed to experience the interactive and incremental development programming workflow, including hot-reloading and on-the-fly debugging, that Lisp programmers often refer to as the differentiating feature of the ecosystem. After installing, one can immediately open a file, program some Coalton or Lisp, and beam code to the REPL. On the same token, it has many of the advanced features you’d expect in a professional IDE:

At least 10 individuals connected to sensitive US nuclear and aerospace research have died or disappeared in recent years, prompting concerns whether they are connected and fueling speculation online about the possibility of nefarious activity.

MIT researchers discovered that the sound of falling droplets can shake rice seeds out of a dormant state, stimulating them to germinate more quickly than seeds that are not exposed to the same sound vibrations.

I begin however with an explanation of the problem that clause sought to solve and how the clause works.
This may seem an estoric license issue, but in fact this issue regularly impacts users today —
particularly with the advent of “badgeware” (software that allows redistribution but
includes annoying advertising that cannot be removed). Hopefully, this
explanation helps readers understand the importance of the issue and gain vigilance when
reviewing potential “further restrictions” placed on their copylefted software.

Media over QUIC: Using MoQ for REAL-TIME BIDIRECTIONAL STREAMING. Gameboy games!

Last month, I wrote an article about my recent experience creating a hobby project in a web framework - Ruby on Rails - that hasn’t been “in fashion” for some time. The blog post gathered some interest and made it to various discussion sites like Hacker News and others. It caused a pretty big spike in traffic and my post got linked from some more places and generated some interesting conversations. I had fun, talked to some new users of my app (a simple, no-strings-attached free tool to organise bands), got to geek out for a few evenings and all was good.
