JEP 276: Dynamic Linking of Language-Defined Object Models
by Mark Evenson 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Not sure exactly how this maps to Common Lisp, but it looks like JDK 9 will have a lot of interesting new APIs for compiling efficient code for langauges other than Lisp. The latest I have found out about is [JEP 276: Dynamic Linking of Language-Defined Object Models][1]. [1]: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/276 -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now."

Maven plugin for compiling to bytecode?

Could there be a Maven plugin that compiles src/main/lisp/**/*.lisp to .class files for integration in Java projects? -- Cheers, Andrew

ASDF 3.1.6 is released
by Robert Goldman 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

We would like to announce the release of ASDF 3.1.6, the latest bug fix release for ASDF. As usual many thanks are due to Faré for many bug fixes, clean ups, explanations, etc. Thanks are also owed to Dave Cooper, for testing on the Windows platform, enabling the maintainers to test on Windows, and identifying uncaught bugs. Thanks to Anton Vodonosov for testing the release candidate against Quicklisp on cl-test-grid. Finally, thanks to all who found bugs, provided patches, and used prerelease candidates. We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF to adopt 3.1.6. 3.1.6 does not introduce any API incompatibilities that we know of, and contains significant bug fixes on multiple platforms and implementations. See the Changelog (below) for a list of the major bug fixes. Details on minor bugfixes can be found at launchpad.net/asdf We had hoped that 3.1.5 would be the last 3.1.x bug fix release, paving the way for us to move to developing ASDF 3.2, which we expect will add new features. Maybe this time! Here is the changelog entry for 3.1.6: Bug fix and portability release: * Fix backtrace on SBCL. * Fix RUN-PROGRAM of string (shell command) on Windows SBCL (ticket #1501373). * Fix a number of issues with bundle operations (especially on non-C-compiler-based implementations). * Fix component-finding in package-inferred-system. * Fix race condition between multiple concurrent lisp processes doing ASDF builds (ticket #1483948). * Fix misplaced fasl cache on Windows. * Miscellaneous bug fixes. * Documentation improvements. -- Robert P.

ELS'16 - 9th European Lisp Symposium AGH University of Science and Technology Kraków, Poland May 9-10, 2016 http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/ Sponsored by EPITA and AGH University The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. The 9th European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical applications and educational perspectives. We also encourage submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new setting and/or in a highly elegant way. Topics include but are not limited to: - Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming - Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches - Language design and implementation - Language integration, inter-operation and deployment - Development methodologies, support and environments - Educational approaches and perspectives - Experience reports and case studies We invite submissions in the following forms: Papers: Technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways. Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications. Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 minutes. The symposium will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be registered on-site every day. All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.
