The funny thing is that just as you did this with Arc I have been trying to push somethinganything out the door on my own product (it too is pretty far along, it too has a ways to go) just to motivate me with user feedback. Seriously reconsidering...
Given the stated philosophy of (er, paraphrasing) doing the fun stuff first, I think bullet-proof footwear is one of the last things to look for at this juncture.
But compare:
"Let's see if some of these keys work"
and
"Let's see if any of these keys work"
Above "some"'s usage would mean looking for more than one, whereas "any"s intent is to find one key that works and stop looking.
Great idea, a port to CL (where I have my best IDE). I want to do a rather intense Arc library, not sure how much cut/paste I will survive. Gonna have to quit the day job...
Complaints take on a life of their own, If it was not Unicode it would be something else. But we do have to complain...don't we? Mine is the absence of dynamic scope (hoping I missed it). Meanwhile, omigod, your prime directive is brevity?! I worked on the same floor with the K guys at UBS, having flashbacks. That and speed was all they could talk about. :)
