I am glad to re-announce a new version of my old piece of semi-useful software, CL-Launch , an infrastructure to easily make your Common Lisp software launchable from a Unix command line. The main new feature that justifies the announcement is that standalone executables are now supported with the newly-released SBCL 1.0.22, so you can deliver your Lisp application as a one binary that only...

Well, back from GSOC , was a fun and busy weekend. Wish I would've slept, y'know... some, I was suboptimal :) Incredibly fun, met some übergeeks, learned a fair bit. Lisp on FBSD With SBCL happily chugging on the mbp , it's time to prepare an image for the "production" machine. In this case, a recent -STABLE install of FreeBSD on a coloc x86. Install SBCL with "Enable experimental threading...

...версию slime из cvs, оказалось там теперь есть backend для mit-scheme , а ещё существует backend для clojure . Про его установку и настройку здесь . Clojure - это относительно новый диалект lisp, работающий на платформе java. В нём реализован интересный подход к многопоточности и сделан упор на функциональное программирование без побочных эффектов. Так что теперь у меня работает sbcl ,...

So I think we all know I kinda have a lisp. Nothing big, but I often mention how Aaron teases me about it. I can't say "H" or shh or sounds like that. Like Smudge. Or Jump. Or bitch. Shit like that (including shit). ANYWAY, Kristen said I'm Static Personified. 'Cos I sound a little bit like static. So a few minutes ago, after watching "The Eye" on TV I go upstairs to pee and talk to my dad. I walk...

... San Jose airport, Sunnyvale, the suburbia wasteland where everyone runs an it company. Google - Summer Of Code coming to a theater near you. (I was a mentor for BRL-CAD this time around . LISP In an attempt to be semi-useful instead of engaging in typical blog self-wankery, I will endeavor to provide possibly useful information. *boggle* SBCL on my hackintop; my story.

NB : ITA Software , a fine employer of Lisp hackers (disclosure: I work there), is kindly purchasing a buffet to accompany our Monthly Boston Lisp Meeting. Anyone who attends is welcome to partake. We appreciate it if you let us know you're coming, and what food taboos you have, so that we can order the right amount of food. Tell us by sending email to boston-lisp-meeting-register at...

...and modify its own structure. Then you'd have the interesting situation of the program source code and the executing machine code being one and the same thing. Do you know a system like this? ;;; circl.lisp -- a lisp for self-modifying programs ;;; Written in September 2008 by Luke Gorrie (declaim (optimize (debug 3))) ;;; This is a toy-Lisp dialect in which the running program is itself ;;; a first...

...like the cleanup suggestions Xach made and then who knows. Finishing PCL is probably next on the priority list. I took some crappy notes which I keep telling myself to turn into a "Common Lisp for Schemers" series of articles but I haven't gotten around to it. Maybe because I'll just embarass myself but that's what the internet is for so I'll probably do it anyway. I've also been wanting...

... , because our tools are confused by them -- debuggers, cross-referencers, refactorers, type checkers, etc. We're more inhibited in languages with sophisticated tools (Scheme, Common Lisp, Smalltalk) than more basic ones (Emacs Lisp, Javascript, Ruby). Example: I won't use SCREAMER because I know how ugly it would be to use SLIME for debugging code that was CPS-converted by macros...
