I'm interesting in learning more about conditional restart systems and how they work. I'm not sure where to start. I've been looking at source code but was wondering if there was any higher level guides available.

The accepted answer is how to use and how it works, not how to implement it (since your favorite lisp don't support it) – Sylwester Aug 03 '13 at 21:22

@zcaudate +1 for the PCL chapter 19 reference. That one helped things “click” for me. – Joshua Taylor Aug 02 '13 at 12:27

Nice, I'm a fan of Manuel Simoni's blog, a lot of interesting PLT stuff on there :) – Wes Aug 02 '13 at 17:28
