+
+I've been focusing on a window manager project
+to fight my procrastination and get a real project done.
+And what would you know, it is **working**!
+
+I came in with the idea that creating a window manager
+would be an impossible task; now I'm left with the
+realisation that writing C is hard.
+
+## C programming is great!

-I'm in my first week of learning Lisp programming.
-
-During it, I've realised that it's very easy for
-me to feel productive when I'm not:
-- When I finish **anything** I spend a lot of time testing it *when there's no reason to*
-- I spend even more time reorganizing what I've done rather than progressing
-
-It's impressive how hard the brain tries
-to trick me in order to work less.
-
-The goal of replacing all my stack for lisp was partially
-to reach a state of flow:
-that state where you know exactly what you're doing
-and don't need to look anything up,
-where you build your project at the speed of thought.
-I thought removing syntax noise would be a good start.

+Somehow, in the span of a single month,
+I already got tired of *most* Lisp variants.
+But among all the trash (and not so trash),
+I managed to find one that would fit my needs:
+a *standalone*, *simple*, *portable* language.
+
+Here's a summary of my experiences:
+Common Lisp is bloat,
+Clojure is perfect (except for the JVM),
+Scheme is too focused on embedding and small programs
+and Fennel is *almost* perfect, but it depends on Lua.
+At the end of the day,
+Janet takes the good of Clojure and Fennel
+and focuses on creating minimal *yet functional* programs.
+
+This 2026 I'm planning on staying almost-exclusively in Janet
+*given that I have a tendency of switching tools*.

+This new year, I want to focus on practical projects
+rather than learning new concepts for the sake of it.
+
+For a long time I prioritized superficial general knowledge
+over practical knowledge.
+Ironic, given that I come from a web dev course;
+but most of my projects, if not all,
+are just small experiments that never get to grow.
+In fact, all my pinned projects on Github are 1-day projects.
+
+That can also be reflected in my website,
+which is semi-abandoned.
+
+So, for this new year, I want to focus solely on creating projects,
+properly grown, usable projects.
+For now, I started building a window manager from scratch
+([Enforcer](https://github.com/niljimeno/enforcer) on github).
+I will eventually rewrite Citadel and my Git frontend aswell,
+that's next on the list.
