Re: CLOS usage
Seriously, a stack trace that is 100% meaningful, where I don't have to play detective to figure out why the values I am looking at are what they are... that would be nice to have all the time. Well, I was really excited about (pure) functional stuff when I first got interested in Haskell, after co...

Re: website mini-logo (the one in the toolbar)
Love the parentheses-lizard approach! Maybe even another pair of parentheses could make it clearer... what are the tiny symbols scattered around the lizard? Looks like "y o o c" or something.

Re: Your favorite implementation?
I haven't done much scheme coding (only examples from the SICP, but they were running only in MIT Scheme), but tried STALIN on couple of example and was impressed by the code generation (granted, not the standard way to use lisp/scheme, having compile times of hours/days, rather than ms, but still ...

Re: GUI lib recommendations
Also, I don't think http://common-lisp.net/project/cello is on the Cliki page, and it seems worth a peek. It (and Cells) sounds very interesting, but all of the links to the actual code/screenshots/etc (including the CVS site) are broken :( Actually, I found the working CVS link to Cells on the cel...

Re: Your favorite implementation?
I like Gambit-C Scheme in its approach; being portable to all sorts of platforms as long as a good C compiler is available. But as a newbie to both CL and Scheme, I'll probably spend more time using the prepackaged PLT/DrScheme environment with its pretty GUI stuff, for now anyway.

Re: Interesting Scheme applications
Wow! That looks really impressive. I'll have to check that out; seems like the kind of attention-grabbing, powerful thing that might attract someone to programming, too. Quality linksMartin wrote:http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/

Re: Clojure reactions?
For me, the main reason for using an existing runtime (e.g., the JVM or .NET) is to avoid reimplementing a runtime ;-) It's nice to know that your garbage collector is tuned and well-tested, for example. Steve Yegge gave an interesting talk about Rhino, Javascript and the JVM - apart from the effic...

Re: lisp compiler written in brainf**k?
If it's Turing complete, then why not? It must be possible in both directions, but I suspect building a Brainfuck compiler in Lisp would be just a little bit easier

Re: Thank you.
Does the forum come with a set of Pitman, Kenny, The Two Pascals, Joswig, many others and Dr Frog Hopper? I can't wait for the first thread about pathnames that morphs into how Lisp is rubbish because it "doesn't even have pattern-matching over algebraic data-types, can you believe it?" o...
