<br><br>In either case, it saddens me. The dwim libraries are some of the most ambitious, innovative, and substantial in the body of contemporary common-lisp. (IMHO). On the bright side I'm probably years from fully understanding all of it so at least you've left a prodigious bone for others such as myself to gnaw on. :). <div>
<br></div><div>I do hope, though, that its not the end of your work extending and refining these libraries -- I think they contribute to the ongoing viability of CL as a modern platform. In particular it would be wonderful if the web meta app meta server were to be updated and fleshed out a bit more someday. Maybe not to the standard set by perec (which is rock solid, in my experience) but maybe a bit closer... I haven't tried the sencha version though -- is that operational? A more recent JS framework like sencha/extjs seems like it might offer a substantial upgrade to the capability in terms of UI.</div>

for the record, in my view it was more due to the sideffects of<br>
changes in our private lives than a rational business decision...<br>
<br>
not that it makes a big difference, i just don't want people to draw<br>
the wrong conclusions.<br>
