I remember watching you give a version of this talk at the Bay Area Lisp meetup!

Hidden 13 paragraphs down the third page is the first actual description of the project:<p>&gt; So FSet has a dual mission: first, to bring Common Lisp up to date, by giving it a much richer ensemble of functional collection data structures, to greatly expand the space of algorithms that can be written in an elegant functional style and still run efficiently; and second, as with Clojure, to support and encourage the use of functional collections for general programming.<p>Cool project but the docs could be greatly improved by putting the purpose of the project front and center. Don&#x27;t make readers guess.
