Common Lisp (and MzScheme) users can use first (and second, and third...) and rest, and probably should do so when using simple lists.

The syntax

  let villain = (28,"chirs") in fst villain

Only through experimentation, I find:

  fst (28,"chirs")
  => 28
  snd (28,"chirs")
  => "chirs"

  (let ((villain '(28 "chirs")))
    (first villain))

Plus, the arbitrary shortening of "first" to "fst" doesn't help, and should probably be clarified.

You seem to only check the return value to determine when to skip to the next step in the tutorial, since in step10, you want me to type:

  ['a','b','c'] == "abc"

  'a' : 'b' : [] == "ab"
  => True

If there's nothing in the detected area, can you move to the closest bon instead?

International news avoids the term "billion" because it can refer to 10^9 or 10^12.

In UK English, 10^9 is called a milliard.

That would be tantamount to a programmer founding a company.

  any DSL which generates markup must be more concise than the markup itself

  a more concise language will be better in the long run

However, given that business are formed to turn a profit, the standard workflow will remain unchanged until it is profitable to do otherwise.

If a markup-generating DSL was simple enough for designers to pick up quickly, it would make good business sense to push them through the transition.

  Remove all synonyms
  Example: fine -> good

  Remove antonyms and just negate the word
  Example: bad -> ungood

  Remove special-case nouns: just combine a noun and one or more adjectives to reach the same meaning with fewer fundamental words.
  Example: great -> doubleplusgood; murder -> collateral damage
