hi everyone, is everyone still interested in the lisp meeting next friday? We need someone to present something.
By chance, I'm almost back in Munich at the moment (~100 km away), so I might manage to come, depending on when and where you plan to meet.
perhaps someone else has some suggestions about what they'd like to present of see presented.
I could give an improvised talk on the usability of lisp in string theory and algebraic geometry, based on some work I did in this field. I cannot promise anything yet, however, and my last train back home would leave at 23:50.
It would also be great for someone to do a SLIME demo.
One of the uglier aspects of SLIME - at least as I experience it (but maybe I'm just a bit stupid here) is that I occasionally find myself in a situation where I want to SAVE-LISP a core that contains a lot of complicated state which was difficult to produce (= the result of a lengthy calculation). SLIME and SAVE-LISP do not seem to mix well...
