Guys, I thought you might be interested in the ALU's new mailing list explicitly for local lisp-based technology groups for dealing with items such as...
Greetings fellow Lispers, My first post to the group. This place has been dormant for a while, but it'll be good to know some fellow Indian Lispers. There's...
I'm glad Roshan popped in when I was too busy. There are many threads you can find, especially in c.l.l., about how Lisp sucks. I tried to find some of the...
Er, I deleted *my* post, not anyone else's. ... -- Lisp humour: LISP> (setf god (symbol-value god)) Warning: Declaring GOD special. Error: GOD is unbound....
I tried to post a link to Pascal C.'s posts in c.l.l., but I got the wrong one, so I deleted it. Just be sure to read all the posts in the thread. I think some...
Thanks Tom, Roshan. I've read that thread on c.l.l. But a few things just flew over my head. So I asked here. Anyway, I think you are right Tom - maybe I...
Chaitanya, No computer language is `perfect' for every job, but the essence of Lisp is just so good that it is considered a very important language for a...
Tom, I have given Lisp a try and am loving it. Don't worry, I am not going to get scared and run-off to some other lang. Its only been six months, but I am...
Hi, all. I would like to invite all people interested in Lisp (Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp) to Koramangala (Bangalore) or my flat on Sarjapur Road on some...
Hi all, I am trying to install ucw on windows. Does it actually work on windows? I've downloaded the ucw-boxset but that file seems to be corrupt. Plain ...
Chaitanya, Sorry I couldn't answer yesterday. I saw 2 mail messages from you, but my broadband connection was down and couldn't read them. Looks like you might...
Chaitanya, Next I'm going to try ucw-boxset. This looks interesting. It doesn't seem to be linked from anywhere on the Web (or at least I can't find a link to...
Tom, Thanks for all the info. I am using CLISP (and of course emacs/slime :-). Don't think I'll install ucw now. Going back to college this evening - there I...
Chaitanya, http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/documentation.html but I don't think the example will work. I asked segv on #lisp for help with it and he told me...
Chaitanya, CMUCL is very good. SBCL actually took the CMUCL source as a starting point. I think the 2 development paths still cross-fertilise each other. That...
Chaitanya, I just remembered what bothered me about the tutorial: lots of it was related to setting up and using a database. But I suppose you can just skip...
Thanks for the link. Will try to see that tomorrow. don't know if I can really work on ucw this week.. lots of quizzes and practicals at college :-( But I...
Chaitanya, I looked at that tutorial, too. I should really try to sum up what I've learned about ucw and its tutorials and maybe put it on cliki.net . But...
Tom, Thanks for the link. I was able to get asdf working on clisp/win, though it took sometime. Did the same thing as mentioned on that blog... those...
Chaitanya, Please check out the new discussion (as of 2 days ago) discussion at http://cliki.net/ucw . There's some explanation why things can be troublesome...
Just checked out that dicussion. Its quite interesting - initiating a discussion via a wiki. It looks good for ucw too. This group working on ucw seems to be a...
