Worked 4 hours on the #lisp Cookbook today, from a reader's email full of details, and also for the new PDF rendering (done with the great #typst).

Just so you know 😉 so you can star it and get us to 1k GitHub stars, and to recall you can send pull requests of typos and grammar fixes ;)

🪧 I am giving the last touch to a new video chapter on #lisp data structures: lists, cons cells, arrays, hash-tables…

What is something you wished you knew earlier? Thanks!

I see many #CommonLisp library authors recommending and treating ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ as the only standard location that will be found by your system without further setup.

I use ~/common-lisp/ for that. I believe that it is more natural to use, and also more general, as it works on the ASDF layer, which e. g. Quicklisp builds upon. However, I just looked at the manual and discovered that this is a rather recent addition (3.1.2, 2014, 11 years ago).

I know Ultralisp is a Quicklisp distribution but there are a couple of things I don't understand. Does Ultralisp coexist with or replace Quicklisp (in other words, can I install both or only one)? Does Ultralisp provide a subset or superset of the packages in Quicklisp's archive?

I'm sure there was another topic. I think now just ping me in the hour before the show if you would like to be a guest

In the process of porting over a bunch of old #supercollider code to #commonlisp. I'm blown away by how much cleaner, more compact and elegant the resulting code is. At least 50% reduction in the amount of lines, and it's a lot more readable...

I also went back and reread McCarthy's original LISP article (Also Part I) to make sure he said programming might be done in terms of pictures. He specifically presented a scheme for turning universal recursive flow charts into lisp s-functions.

On the Sunday-Morning-In-Europe Peertube live one hour from now, (on https://toobnix.org/a/screwtape/videos) I will mostly read from McCarthy's paper.

@interlisp ☝️ The syntax of FORMAT and LOOP blends with Common Lisp in a way similar to how the CLISP notation augments Interlisp. I don't mind the odd syntaxes of these little languages as they don't force to step outside the language for expressing specialized tasks.

On Naming Common Lisp

Erik Naggum once aptly pointed out
that it could have been named Garden Lisp.
In biology, the common variety and the garden variety (of a species) are synonym terms.

I was a gardener once.
It is a very worthy endeavor.
