<kbd>mp_suggest</kbd> is a simple little organizational tool for MP3
|
|
|
|
|
collections. I wrote it a few years ago to help me organize my own
|
|
|
|
|
collection, and when the Hy Programming Language came out, I decided it
|
|
|
|
|
was time for a minor exercise. Rewriting mp\_suggest in Hy was a
|
|
|
|
|
perfect opportunity.

Writing mp_suggest was an interesting exercise in returning to Lisp
|
|
|
|
|
after all these years. I find that I really enjoyed it (although,
|
|
|
|
|
honestly, Hy's debugging facilities leave a lot to be desired). The
|
|
|
|
|
style used inside mp_suggest is most definitely not Lispy; looking
|
|
|
|
|
through it, with its persistent use of cheap anonymous functions and
|
|
|
|
|
closures and its function-level metaprogramming, I guess the best
|
|
|
|
|
language I could compare it to is Coffeescript. I like Coffeescript a
|
|
|
|
|
lot, but I don't get many opportunities to use it professionally, but
|
|
|
|
|
the sensibilities of Coffeescript (especially Reginald Braithwaite's
|
|
|
|
|
Ristrettology and his other books on functional programming) heavily
|
|
|
|
|
influenced the design decisions I made in mp_suggest.

The TODO file is empty for a reason. This was mostly an exercise in

writing Hy.
