Thanks for all your hard work.

But why did you choose Asciido and asccidoctor? I think Markdown together with Pandoc is capable of generatring all kinds of formats too.

I swithed from chrome to IE a few weeks before. Because IE is faster. And my computer is quieter using IE.

I used to be a SuperMemo user for several years and accumulated more than six thousands items. It has advanced algorithms. Both Anki and Mnemosyne are based on the algorithm of SuperMemo 2(its version is 16 now). And there are several pieces of articles about human memory on its website which are very helpful.

But about a year ago, I gave up Supermemo. Because it's really buggy and bloated. I was so worried about my data that I used to back up my data into a zip file every day. Then I decided that I shouldn't trust a buggy closed source software like SuperMemo to protect my data. If it died, I would have trouble converting my data to other formats.

When I was considering the alternatives, I chose Mnemosyne instead of Anki. Because Mnemosyne seems cleaner, and its author is doing some research on human memory which made me think that its algorithm could be better than Anki.

Congrarulations, the Racket team! It's really a joy to use Racket. Racket is elegant, powerful and fast. Everybody should try it. It's extremely easy to install and setup. And whenever you have any question, a fantastic community is there waiting for you.

Yeah. And Racket suits programmers of different levels well.

For beginners, it's an easy to learn language with an easy to setup programming environment.

For advanced programmers, there're a lot of advanced features available as 6cxs2hd6 mentioned.

Racket is not only a great language. It's also a great developing environment, a great community.

And unlike most other languages, it's out of box support for Windows is perfect.

Thank you. I've never heard of that either

I think dealing with people is much more harder than dealing with codes. Could somebody tell me how to learn the social skills?

Many of them are famous Lisp programmers. Of course, Lisp grogrammers use Emacs.
