Online Lisp Meeting #11
by Michał "phoe" Herda 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

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 New videos welcome! If you have anything lispy that you would like to talk about, please let me know. Calendar invitations will follow in replies to this mail. BR and see you, Michał "phoe" Herda
