William Carroll b6d143e5d2 fix(wpcarro/nix): Remove <briefcase> references
Angle-bracketed references are a Nix anti-pattern, and thankfully this
repository enforces this as a standard.

TL;DR:
- Drop angle-bracketed references
- Change `briefcase` -> `users.wpcarro`
- Fix any resulting regressions
- Fix //users/wpcarro/tools/simple_vim
- Mark //users/wpcarro/boilerplate/typescript and related projects
  as broken
- drop .skip-subtree file, enabling depot CI

Common Lisp

Things that I like about Common Lisp:

  • It's an S-expression based language.
  • It has a powerful macro system
  • It has a unique way of handling-errors
  • It is highly introspectible
  • The tooling integration with Emacs is the best I have ever seen for any language

Things that I don't like about Common Lisp:

  • I find its standard libraries difficult to use and -- compared to modern libraries -- like Golang's or Elixir's standard libraries, Common Lisp's libraries are clunky

As such, I would like to modernize CL's libraries to resemble other libraries with which I am more familiar and, therefore, productive.
