Any suggestions for a high level language which is most effective?
I know that it's kind of vague question but still. Something capable of easy and quick development but fast ib startup and operating.

:gutkato_kapaŭskultiloj: 
Okay, fedi, I'm once again asking for your help.
I graduated from a .NET-based software development program in 2024, and since then I've been on the lookout for an entry-level job, but the the current job market being what it is, no such luck yet. I've almost given up, but doing some refresher courses on PostgreSQL and Java have given me new motivation to start looking again.
I would love working with SQL and write queries and design databases, I'm a back-end kinda developer through and through. I am comfortable with the EF-core framework for .NET, and I do miss writing some good interfaces and DTOs.
I am however, also a fiend for a good meeting, and love working with SCRUM (if it serves the developers, rather than the company but I know that that is a tad idealistic of me). I have many experiences in both service and organizational skills such as meeting planning and techniques. I actually enjoy talking to people in different departments and learning how their perspective can help mine.
I'm based in Gothenburg, and a physical location close to here would be ideal, but I am also open to remote roles. I am available ASAP and would love to chat with anyone within the field who has some time and interest to talk about how to get a foot in somewhere.

I was personally out-of-it this episode, but Corwin really shines!
From Corwin:

Let it snow! ❄️
I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.
Here's the source code for server admins: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon/commit/9bf1563af50842a5f61b34b7cc095fb746e5d15b#diff-5fcd1b6168ec33e0eff0a05fcdeacfab68e261215bbdb719be6b3526173be770

I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.
Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. CI/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.
I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.

A whole bunch of quick date format conversion muddling but I think I got to RSS in the end.
If you forgot how to retrieve dates from files in a git, this article also has that.
This article is basically a record of my live spelunking of RSS and dates. Next week I will pick some good bits out into new articles. This is my raw #commonLisp experience.

Welcome advice and commentary. Will it work as RSS in the end?

I put the text below on LinkedIn in response to a post there and figured I'd share it here too because it's a bit of a step from what I've been posting previously on this topic and might be of some use to someone.
In retrospect I might have written non-sense in place of nonsense.
If you're in tech the Han reference might be a bit out of your comfort zone, but Andrews is accessible and measured.

It's nonsense to say that coding will be replaced with "good judgment". There's a presupposition behind that, a worldview, that can't possibly fly. It's sometimes called the theory-free ideal: given enough data, we don't need theory to understand the world. It surfaces in AI/LLM/programming rhetoric in the form that we don't need to code anymore because LLM's can do most of it. Programming is a form of theory-building (and understanding), while LLMs are vast fuzzy data store and retrieval systems, so the theory-free ideal dictates the latter can/should replace the former. But it only takes a moment's reflection to see that nothing, let alone programming, can be theory-free; it's a kind of "view from nowhere" way of thinking, an attempt to resurrect Laplace's demon that ignores everything we've learned in the >200 years since Laplace forwarded that idea. In that respect it's a (neo)reactionary viewpoint, and it's maybe not a coincidence that people with neoreactionary politics tend to hold it. Anyone who needs a more formal argument can read Mel Andrews's The Immortal Science of ML: Machine Learning & the Theory-Free Ideal, or Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics (which argues, among other things, that this is a nihilistic).

What do you two / all think about signalling lisp conditions for game controls ? #gamedev #programming #commonLisp
Since my CLIM unicode-grid-list-thing makes a grid fine but needs controls, I added a signal handler that just pops up a window and reads a string.
Then, instead of
> (make-application-frame 'game-frame)
> (run-frame-top-level *)
I can run with a custom signal/handler by
> (handler-bind ((menu-x-pressed #'handle-menu-x-pressed)) (run-frame-top-level **))
![The game was invoked with
(handler-bind ((menu-x-pressed #'handle-menu-x-pressed))
(run-frame-top-level **))
Now, the signal invoked by the x button menu command is bound to a handler that pops open a string entry window, which has clumsily laid out:
gimmeastringEnter string: [ ]
OK Cancel](/proxy/post_attachment/625283/8c4588b767.png "The game was invoked with

Yesterday I was printing text in my condition handling + restarts example, when (print condition) actually works with :report as detailed here.

Hey, I made a quick #commonLisp utility package that just provides 200 names https://codeberg.org/tfw/common-names .

(foo #'(lambda (c)

(bar #'(lambda (c)
(invoke-restart (find-restart 'buz) c))))
(signal 'foo))
(baz (c) (declare (ignore c)) (print "baz reached") nil)
(buz (c) (declare (ignore c)) (print "buz reached") nil))

Since I forgot I had to ping aral to let my blog webhook work again, here is this article exhibiting
The ANSI common lisp condition system
in particular, I wrote an #ontology for classical! #lisp expression generation supporting precondition .. postcondition = handler .. local restart
interactive #repl exploration. The blog will resume its webhook updates next week. I should love this itch already anyway.
Nowadays programming in a programming language I don't use daily seems to always require an upgrade cascade of editors, tools, plugins, dependencies, libraries, my DNA, ??? I put some effort into keeping my environment static but all it takes is one autoupgrading thing I missed to kick off one of these cascades, and it feels like whack-a-mole trying to find and lock down every possible cause. This time it looks like a newer version of scala metals might have stopped supporting Java 11 and somehow got updated without my knowledge (maybe? I'm guessing).
P.S. This is not an invitation to post critiques about any of these technologies or recommendations about what I should be doing instead.

Lynx is ByteDance's new open-source, multi-platform app framework. It outperforms React Native with a dual-threaded architecture for smoother UI. Lynx supports standard CSS and various JavaScript frameworks, using non-standard elements that correspond to native equivalents.
