keepsake: rouge
Over a decade ago, I wrote the programming language Rouge (wayback1) — a reimplementation of Clojure in Ruby, the language itself adapted for the specifics of its new home. I didn’t really know what I was doing, but it was a fun diversion.
To my surprise, some years later, I noticed a gist turn up, written in Rouge2. Wondering perhaps what else there might be, I sniffed around, and found …
… a fucking book! Three pages of a Japanese e-book called A Delicious Introduction to Clojure are dedicated to a language I wrote. Source here for the curious3.
I periodically re-find and lose this thread again, so recording it once and for all here. I finally bought the actual e-book, too; seems like the least I can do.

wish the CSS were preserved, or that monorepos were already in vogue and I still had the website source. iirc it was pretty! ↩

either clone the repo locally or log in to see past the root, you aren’t asked for anything beyond the OAuth dance, just want some representation that you’re not a scraper. ↩
