There really isn't that much I have to contribute but I have a large set of libraries in Scheme which would be nice to port.

Things like polynomial algebra and curve-fitting and so forth.

Well, it is a function.

Now that the # syntax is brought to my attention, this is sort of silly.

Here is a quick little utility for positional-partial application in clojure, similar to cut from srfi 26 for Scheme, but a function, rather than syntax. (map (plx cons 'head :_) '((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))) ;;=> ((head 1 2) (head 3 4) (head 5 6)) (map (plx list 'head :_ 'end) '( middle mean meat )) ;;=> (...

I admit, that CL has a lot of great stuff (CLOS/MOP is really excellent), and Lisp all the way down is nice too, but I am tired if fighting with different implementations, libraries that won't compile, and old/esoteric design. Clojure is clean, functional, and has a large library set which "jus...

Just use Clojure.
Seriously.

That should really be listp rather than list? up there. All my lisps run together.

If you can't depend on it and you want to be cross-implementation, then it basically isn't supported. This is a whole other can of worms, though.

You can implement a fun flatten with foldl quite easily: (defun flatten (lst) (reverse (foldl (lambda (item output) (cond ((list? item) (foldl #'cons output (flatten item))) (t (cons item output)))) '() lst))) Fold is one of my favorite abstractions. This is not tail recursive, unfortunately, but CL...

Hi Lispforum, Suppose you have some Common Lisp code representing a game and you want to abstract drawing the game away from updating the game. For instance, you might have everything in your game "universe" represented in a big list CLOS objects which need to be updated and drawn once per...
