[pro] examples of compiled embedded DSL
by Yakov Zaytsev 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

hello all, i'm looking for examples of small languages embedded in Common Lisp which are compiled so effectively small language programs do not run from the host compiler (CL) environment but from other run-time i know about parenscript and would love to know about more available in the public (or story about closed implementations)

[pro] [Q] unicode support
by Didier Verna 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hello, does anyone have a global view on the status of unicode support in the main CL implementations (SBCL, CMU-CL, ECL, CCL, CLISP, ABCL, ACL, LispWorks). By that, I mean mostly being able to encode source files in utf8 with the following concerns: - do I need to do something special at the implementation-level ? - do I need to do something special at the ASDF system level ? - could this break the code of people using my libraries ? Thank you. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. Scientific site: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier Music (Jazz) site: http://www.didierverna.com

[pro] [Q] interpretation / byte-compilation / compilation
by Didier Verna 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Hello, does anyone have a global view on the status of this in the main CL implementations (SBCL, CMU-CL, ECL, CCL, CLISP, ABCL, ACL, LispWorks). By that, I mean mostly: - which implementation can do what, - how do you ask for interpretation, bytecomp or comp. I find this information quite hard to figure out. Unless I missed it, I think it would be good to have a page somewhere summarizing this. Thank you ! -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.

[pro] Looking for comments/corrections on Lisp Doc-Generation Tool Review
by Sabra Crolleton 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Hello all, I put together a draft of a review of common lisp documentation generation tools at https://sites.google.com/site/sabraonthehill/lisp-document-generation-apps. As almost everyone on the list has more experience than I have with lisp (and some of you are authors of these programs), I would appreciate any corrections or comments on the draft. I've only had time to test with sbcl (1.0.58) but do intend to try to test with other lisps as well. Thank you. Sabra
