- Two sides to hygiene. "So the problem here is that there are at least two sides to hygiene for macros: names they use ... [and] the program where the macro is used must not be able to alter what names the macro refers to mean." https://www.tfeb.org/fragments/2023/05/03/two-sides-to-hygiene/ 8 comments lisp

- [Tim Bradshaw's blog] "Package-local nicknames are an abomination ... The only reason why package-local nicknames matter is if you are writing a lot of code with lots of package-qualified names in it. If you are doing that then you are writing code which is hard to read" https://www.tfeb.org/fragments/2022/10/14/package-local-nicknames/ 7 comments lisp
