They're not from the Lisp family, but maybe you can get some ideas by looking at them. Is there a way to contact you, besides these public comments?

Is there a way to contact you, besides these public comments?

The current status is that I have the basic shell of a working implementation, but missing some basic features and not something you'd even want to play with. When I do work on it, I'm mainly trying to work out the details and implications of static and dynamic code existing side-by-side in the same language, as this was a fairly recent idea. I could probably get away going all dynamic for now and working in optional static typing later, but I need to think about it a bit more.

People do not self-organize easily, especially in the context of strangers thrown together in fast action. There are myriad ways this could be addressed in BF3 with a little creativity. I describe one simple solution in <a href="http://brianwill.net/blog/2011/12/11/how-to-actually-get-better-team-play-in-battlefield-3/" rel="nofollow">this new post</a>.

This has been an issue with all games with a multiplayer feature throughout the history of gaming. C'mon now, why flame Battlefield 3 so harshly? I have had plenty of rounds (particularly on Rush mode), where my team has been quite coordinated. My suggestion is find a favorite server, join an empty squad so you're squad leader, start kicking ass and taking names (that is a basic requirement by the way), then rally your teammates to join your squad and start taking a leadership role with your team. Not all will follow, but I bet your experience will be more fulfilling. Take action in there and stop being part of the herd. At the worst, you'll squad up with a few cool players and have fun. That's what a pub server is all about anyways... Yea so basically you’re opposed to any and all public play…everything you suggest is not only possible with clan/league play, but is standard.

Dont play with anyone in a squad (group of four people in BF3) who doesnt really want to be in it. I like your view but its only one point actually.
