ELS'15 - 8th European Lisp Symposium Goldsmiths College, London, UK April 20-21, 2015 http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/ Sponsored by EPITA, Franz Inc. and Lispworks Ltd. 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 8th 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.

[cmucl-imp] Snapshot 2014-12
by Raymond Toy 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Another month, another snapshot. Some of the key changes for this month: * Executables on x86 work again. They were accidentally broken when we removed support for x86. * PPC now supports executables. Currently executables can be made, and run, but they are rather buggy. * Many fixes the the LOG function, including more accurate log2 and log10 values. * (log (expt 2 n) 2) = n whenever (expt 2 n) would be a valid double-float number. * (log (expt 10 n) 10) = n whenever (expt 10 n) would be a valid double-float number. * New macros: LISP:WITH-STRING-CODEPOINT-ITERATOR and LISP:WITH-STRING-GLYPH-ITERATOR that work similarly to WITH-HASH-TABLE-ITERATOR. * Along with the iterators above, LOOP includes extensions like * (loop for cp being the codepoint of string ...) * (loop for g-string being the glyph of string ...)
