I mean why use anything for anything, since another thing already exists.
I mean why use anything for anything, since another thing already exists. Look I like common lisp just fine and have used it for serious professional work and value it for its practical strength and longevity. It is gnarly though, and a pain in the ass sometimes, and really pretty hard to onboard people into. It's huge, and the intense focus on backwards compatibility means there are huge swathes of the language you won't use, some that possible no one should use. If you've already put the time in to learn all that then yeah sure why would you use this. But most people interested in lisps haven't spent hundreds of hours trudging through common lisp already, so maybe this is more for them.

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.
The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
