Evidently, fare 's girlfriend ( fare being an ITA-er and the organizer of the Boston Lisp Meeting) was in my year at ISSI. Interesting. More climbing today. The new harness is incredibly comfortable, the shoes are uncomfortably (but not unwearably) tight, which I am told is ideal for new climbing shoes Attempted (barely): Adductor Abductor (aka "splits all the way up") (5.7+) Something...

The Boston Lisp meeting is tomorrow night. Rich Hickey will talk about Clojure. I'll be there, and you should be too. For more info, check Fare's post . Bill Clementson wrote a summary of the September Vancouver Lisp meeting , including slides and audio of Hans Hübner's presentation. Chun Tian released a new version of cl-net-snmp . The comp.lang.lisp announcement has some interesting...

I went to the Boston Lisp Meetup on Wednesday, which was pretty good. The main talk was on implementing run-time contracts (type-checking or otherwise) in Scheme, a necessary component in a system that uses partially typed Scheme (PDF). In particular, it covered the tricky problem of implementing run-time type contracts for parametric polymorphic functions. On a diametrically opposed note, I'm...

There were a lot of Lisp meetings in May . I don't know about as many for June, so if you're having a meeting and I forgot to mention it or put it on the calendar , please email me . Some May recaps: DC ALT.NET wrapup and presentation notes Chicago Intro to Lisp workshop and Chicago Lisp meeting Lispvan recap, with video The Hamburg meeting was well-covered...

Faré just announced XCVB, a (planned) scalable system to build large software in Lisp. His message to the CCLAN list includes a writeup of current issues with ASDF for large systems and design plans for how to address them with XCVB. It includes a glimpse into some of the challenges faced by ITA when building their large Common Lisp projects.

Who is Robert Bishop Jones ? His factastic website focuses on philosophy, mathematical and philosophical logic, automated reasoning and transhumanism. Its funny and colorful design and its exuberant visionary-ism make it looks a bit "crazy"er than it already is. Kinda like TUNES in the old days. It used to be a powerful attractor in my websurfing, but either its PageRank has taken a beating, or...

Here are a few Lisp-related links I liked in April: A cute read-macro dispatch scheme . Worried about running out of characters for read macros? #/foo/ to the rescue! Daniel Weinreb's ECLM 2008 recap (Dave Moon has a cool comment ) Edi Weitz's ECLM 2008 recap (including MP3s of several talks) Limp: Lisp in Vim Lisp for the Web . A nice baby-steps guide. Getting CLOS...
