Maybe this will work; I think it might require a PowerPC based Mac.

- To insert a function as an argument, use the "#'" reader syntax, which is an abbreviation for FUNCTION (can someone explain why the single quote seems to work here, too?). The FUNCTION special form returns the function associated with a function designator, and a symbol can be a functio...

A small pet idea of mine for lowering the entry barrier to CL: Select a certain subset of the CL standard, throw in some utility libraries (alexandria, cl-ppcre, something for date manipulation come to mind), document it all in a structured manner and offer a downloadable core image. What do you th...

Instead of using ECL, you could use most other implementations to do that, couldn't you? If your model is going to be one big lisp image that contains everything, then most other implementation will do. If you want Hello World to be less than 20k when compiled into an executable, and you don't want...

Hello! Lisp Geeks, This is my lisp practice project. I am trying to read an employee information from a text file, one employee info for one line and put into employee list and then to print out the result. (defstruct employee first_name last_name mid_name birthday start_date title) (defparameter e...

I am always dreaming of the "return of the lisp machines". It should be possible to build a Lisp-based system on current hardware, perhaps using Movitz. Lisp would be the system language, just like C is in current Unices. In such an environment, garbage collection would be a natural compo...

That is ASDF-INSTALL, not ASDF. You can get ASDF from here.

I believe I remember reading on comp.lang.lisp that an old version of Haskell ran on CMUCL.

StumpWM is always looking for assistance. Wouldn't even have to run it as your main WM, just xnest it and play around. From the little hacking I have done on StumpWM, it looks like the code is approachable (unlike, say Maxima). And yeah, use xnest and not Xephyr--for some reason Xephyr mangles the ...

What lisp dialect (Common Lisp, Scheme, etc.) have you been reading up on? If you haven't been focusing on a specific one, then you should before you start writing code. If you need to pick one, Common Lisp might be a good choice. If you are going to be doing CL, you might want to start reading Prac...
