Whenever you dig deep into code written by Edi Weitz you're bound to learn something you didn't know (What an odd saying. Is it possible to learn something you did know?). Today I was playing with his easy dispatch handler in hunchentoot. Easy being what comes out of the other end, it's a complex beast if you try to look at it. Apart from dispatching in interesting ways, I also picked up a small code snippet
(loop :for choice :being :the :hash-keys :of meal :collect choice)Indeed a wonderful way to iterate through elements of a hash table, even if it's a bit ugly with lots of spots.
It also seems that Edi is a great photographer! I'd recommend a browse through his blog. On top of this, his contributions to the Lisp world are incredible. There are so many, but Hunchentoot is quite simply amazing, the more you know the more you like it. Whilst cl-ppcre is one of the sharpest knifes in my toolkit. Both of these tools are key technologies behind Traderisk
