cl-user.net is a good resource for finding things:

..in this case, Google ain't that bad either:

and didn't have the time to mess around with the code.

check out Alexandria .. it provides many common utilities, like flatten:

http://common-lisp.net/project/alexandria/ (get the one from darcs)

about body, declarations and doc-strings .. Alexandria has a parse-body which might be useful .. it can be used like, say, this: (defmacro mk-on-cnt-add-fn ((new-children-sym container-sym &key (on-cnt-add-fn-sym 'on-cnt-add-fn on-cnt-add-fn-sym-supplied-p) once-only-p) &body body) (multiple-value-b...

just to make sure there is no misunderstanding; one do not have to escape an actual data-source or the file content, if reading from a file: lnostdal@blackbox:~$ nano -w test.txt lnostdal@blackbox:~$ cat test.txt <OMA><OMS cd="Computing" name="Homology"/></OMA> lnostdal@blackbox:~$ CL-USER> (with-op...

it'd be easier if you posted a complete snippet of code which shows the problem ..some code that works as expected here: CL-USER> (with-input-from-string (stream "<OMA><OMS cd=\"Computing\" name=\"Homology\"/></OMA>") (read-line stream)) "<OMA><OMS cd=\"Computing\" name=\"Homology\"/></OMA>" T CL-US...

If you're unhappy with the GUI-stuff that's out there then do something about it instead of expecting others to do it for you. It's that simple; that's the reality, even if this means actually having to learn Lisp first to do it. It's not harder to do in Lisp than in other languages; you can write ...

I think this nature is due to CL is "a specification", not "an implementation". Yeah, I'm sure people working on Lisp software and libraries are thinking the same thing; they are really worried about "what 'The Spec' might think". :D Nah. There is no problem like that; there are no road-blocks. The...

So, I'm still not sure what you are after, exactly: Documentation API enforcement Performance optimization API enforcement is what I'm after in this case. So I still don't see the benefit. In a C++/COM world, type mismatches cause big problems because operations are not type-checked. In Lisp, you c...

When I look at projects like PLT-Scheme , there's a great multiplateform IDE, and no problems to install it: you just have to code. Now, going to Common Lisp, you either have a choice between Emacs+Slime and you'll have to spent hours on to configure them for a newbie, and proprietary tools like Al...

hi, i'm currently working on a widget based web framework for Common Lisp: http://groups.google.com/group/symbolicweb not using continuations .. designing it as a simple "state machine" on the server .. history is maintained on the client instead; rationale is that this needs to happen anyway since ...
