• The problem of Arch is that its main implementation was once a shell script and is now a C program.
• The problem of Darcs is that once you get over the QUANTUM PHYSICS shock, it’s just another version control system.
• The problem of CVS is that you don’t want to know why it works.
• The problem of Subversion is more of the same.

It’s not like Muse is a bad program or anything, but in the last year of using it, I’ve had a few (HTML) compliance issues too many. Another problem was that there are a few things that are really hard to express in a plain text file —- there are better user interfaces for things like a change date (and a creation date).

Anyway, I installed movabletype now. I think I should I feel a little guilty now for using something non-lispy (in fact, dumping something lispy for a perl thing). But then, the perl thing works better and does most of the things that I want. Hey, at least it’s not PHP! (-;

McCLIM 0.9.1 was released today. I have hopes that the next (time-boxed) releases will work as well as this one.

That means it is time for you, dear reader/hacker, to write neat McCLIM-using applications. Making one that does useful things is really easy.
