I kept my promise and wrote something in Lisp.

FWIW: Not counting third-party libraries, READMEs and build-related stuff:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language                     files          blank        comment           code

HTML                            16             69              6            698
CSS                              1             19             11             92

This has a few rough edges yet, for which I’m sorry. I’m proud enough to release it though. Please don’t consider this to be “finished software” yet. :-)

Why did you do that to yourself… 🥹

Because the existing software sucks.

Dude runs Solaris and OpenBSD, programming in Lisp is just an expansion of his quirkiness.

Dude loves efficient software. So quirky! 🤪

(But yes, I am a quirky fellow.)

I have programmed in Scheme Lisp in college as the underlying language for Fundamentals of Information Structure. A very adequate language for that purpose. It also taught me the value of text editors that auto completed brackets. Never more.

Anyway, thank you for creating a debloated tool. I will never be able to join you in your development, is all.

That’s what I was aiming at. I hope I succeeded.

Don’t worry - users are good enough for me. Not everyone needs to be a contributor. ;-)
