Author here. Didn't expect this one on HN tonight, so AMA I guess.


Are quote atom lambda eq car cdr label cons cond from any particular interpreter? Was their arrangement chosen mostly for aesthetic reasons, or is there something else to it?

Note that lambda and label are rightmost, just as they are in the article itself.


Beautiful!

Any plans on selling prints again (or perhaps the site you mentioned for the '21 Lisp conference still active)?

(edit to add: I realize this is handcrafted art, was wondering if you have high-res scans you'd consider selling as prints)


Oh goodness. If you really want one, I could produce some. Poke me at phoe@disroot.org and we'll arrange for that.

(Yes, I do have a scan!)


Preserve it well and you might one day really confuse an archeologist.


The original is hanging somewhere in a university in Germany. They'll take decent care of it, I presume.


how did it end up there?


AFAIR it was sent there after an auction during the online European Lisp Symposium 2021.


Congrats on finding time! Maybe this will push me to get back to my nib stash, ha.

Got any experience with adapting fountain pen inks for calligraphy?


Not really. I used Pilot Parallel pens exclusively for doing this piece, so I avoided most of the nib problems (and experience) myself.


Incredible paper! Can you help me make something similar for the ACPUL programming language?


Ping me at phoe@disroot.org and let's get to it!


Amazing work, not sure how I missed that!


Thanks. I didn't really promote this outside #commonlisp on IRC and Hacker News (linked by dang earlier).
