Hello!
We've had about a month of breathing room since the tenth Online Lisp Meeting. Ready for the next ten?
I allowed myself to occupy the slot for the eleventh meeting. I will talk about the basics of control flow in Common Lisp and how the primitives exposed by Common Lisp (IF, TAGBODY/GO, BLOCK/RETURN-FROM, CATCH/THROW, UNWIND-PROTECT, FUNCTION/APPLY) can be used to implement various control flow structures - including the ones constituting the parts of Common Lisp condition system that, indeed, perform transfers of control. We will have a gentle introduction to all of the primitives that we'll use, so even non-CL programmers should feel at home.
A short Jitsi talk with everyone will happen just after the meeting, too!
Date/time/location:
* Date: 26th November 2020 (that's Thursday! I can't host Wednesday meetings for the time being due to work-related duties.) * Time: 13:00 CEST - https://time.is/en/CEST * Talk: https://www.twitch.tv/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp * Hangout: https://chat.heisig.xyz/TwitchPlaysCommonLisp @ 15:00
Massive thanks to Marco Heisig for providing the Jitsi instance where we can hang out after the talk.
A mailing list has been created for the purpose of organizing and promoting the online talks. Further announcements will be posted there. See https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo/online-lisp-meets
