ES Modules are terrible, actually

This post was adapted from an earlier Twitter thread.

It's incredible how many collective developer hours have been wasted on pushing through the turd that is ES Modules (often mistakenly called "ES6 Modules"). Causing a big ecosystem divide and massive tooling support issues, for... well, no reason, really. There are no actual advantages to it. At all.

It looks shiny and new and some libraries use it in their documentation without any explanation, so people assume that it's the new thing that must be used. And then I end up having to explain to them why, unlike CommonJS, it doesn't actually work everywhere yet, and may never do so. For example, you can't import ESM modules from a CommonJS file!

Setting up lisp on Mac OS X

Note: this tutorial only outlines how to install and setup whats necessary to compile and run lisp on Mac OS X, it will not go over how to setup emacs or slime.

1. Installation of Homebrew

Homebrew is a common installation tool on mac that will make the rest of this tutorial possible.
