When? I can go pretty much any evening except on Thursdays. Weekends are open. How about everyone else?

Hi. I just saw this list and signed up for it. The description says coomon lisp and scheme, but it's hosted on common-lisp.net, so I was wondering if it's a mainly common lisp focused thing. (I'm a scheme guy) (And sometimes I'm a "scheme without the set! command" guy). If everything is fair game we should get a link on schemers.org "user groups" page. What's the next event?

[chicago-lisp] Gui interfaces
by Corey Sweeney 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I'm having GUI troubles, and I thought i'd see what everyone else is doing... I'm having GUI troubles. Right now i'm using drscheme, which has unicode, a gui, and a builder. However, the gui is insanely slow. I do lots of complicated nested panels, and a screen refresh is taking over 15 seconds right now (it's getting too slow even for development work now). Gtk objects work much faster (but aren't stable as the gtk-ffi-lib is't finished) Now I have the system split into a client and server, for just this type of problem.... The system can be interactively tested in the client, which is very helpfull during development. Now if the client is written in scheme, then I can abuse the client/server spec, and add features on the client side... then when they are working, move them to their proper place on the server.... My other thoughts were to make a "thin gui client", which just managed events... so like we could have a client in any language that would recieve event X from the mouse, and pass to the server "event X happened". I tried writing the interface originally in java, but java seemed to freak on recursions. It's been a while, but if I remember right, it was like when a type A panel held a type B panel, which held a type A panel. (wouldn't even compile) So I guess what i'm looking for is: unicode support Since it's part of the development cycle (i.e. 90% of the gui objects are to test things that aren't fully completed features yet), a GUI builder would be important. and finally code portability or "thin-ness". i'm defining these as: if it's a scheme implementation that I can just cut and paste to the server code it's "portable", if its written in assembly but just passes events back and fourth, maintaining no real state, then it's "thin". How is everyone else solving this? Corey
