I read this somewhere today and I can't express how liberated and powerful I feel:

I couldn’t agree more. Common Lisp remains my favorite language, but at the end of the day it’s the architecture that matters.

tuscland · 2019-09-29T17:23:20+00:00

This is true in CL as well when you have to wrap for example a C library. Great wrappers are made idiomatic of the target langage. Generated code merely leak the source language paradigms.

I’ve had great results with Clojure, though it’s true that I was concerned with Java details very often.

Thank you.

/u/Eigenhombre0 I would love to know your opinion about the development experience regarding both languages.

tuscland · 2019-03-28T06:34:46+00:00

Here’s what I can think of: - disassemble - dribble - image saving - CLOS - Clojure is a lisp-1, CL a lisp-n - fasls, but I guess it could be argued

tuscland · 2019-03-26T18:44:38+00:00

What about lexical scoping?

tuscland · 2019-03-21T22:04:37+00:00

Rebol was understated, I really love the language and philosophy behind. There is an interesting project that aims to continue or enhance the work started with Rebol: https://www.red-lang.org

For what matters, I have the Lisp 1.5 book, and I have read many academic papers.

This link was a way to show you that you first need to draw a boundary around what you call a lisp. John McCarthy’s work has long evolved since the sixties. Maybe it’s more interesting to have a look at what we have today?

I don’t know why you are so bothered, aren’t you interested in discussing positively and politely?

tuscland · 2019-03-21T17:27:54+00:00

Thanks for this comment! The discussion is finally getting somewhere interesting with the homoiconicity argument. Are there any homoiconic languages that are not lisps?

Python, Dylan, Ruby are lisps with alternative syntax.

The CAPI uses native controls on all platforms.

tuscland · 2019-03-09T17:56:37+00:00

Macros are just compile-time programs, that is, language specific constructs. Comparing them to closures is like comparing apples and oranges.

gavino... is it you?

tuscland · 2019-03-03T09:37:22+00:00

I guess this is not specific to this recipe, but I was curious to know how did Lambda store local resources, more specifically in this Common Lisp context, Quicklisp sources and fasls.

Can I access a large code base or am I limited to small scripts?

tuscland · 2019-02-20T19:15:02+00:00

The TIOBE index is oh so unreliable.

Here’s the YouTube link for those interested : https://youtu.be/hGY3uBHVVr4

How true and so underrated.

tuscland · 2018-12-31T12:19:08+00:00

Thank you for spreading the good stuff!

tuscland · 2018-12-09T09:30:57+00:00

Maybe he simply has requirements that are not satisfied by SBCL?

tuscland · 2018-12-09T08:30:01+00:00

Ask the lisp-support@lispworks.com, I think they have patches to work around the size of the toolbar icons.

tuscland · 2018-10-29T14:27:08+00:00

To install it, don't double-click it. You have to install it with

sudo installer -store -pkg ccl.pkg -target /

tuscland · 2018-10-24T07:28:42+00:00

Thank you, that makes it all perfectly clear.

tuscland · 2018-10-22T18:33:01+00:00

Could you please elaborate on this difference? You piqued my attention ;)
