Recent news:
- Submission deadline in less than a month!
- 3nd invited speaker announced: Stephan Karpinski on Julia: to Lisp
or Not to Lisp?
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 9th 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. The conference proceedings will be
published in the ACM Digital Library.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to run a little poll among experienced Lisp developers. The topic
is the usage in the wild of the extensions to the package system provided
by various implementations. My apologies to people who are subscribed to
the ABCL mailing list, where some time ago I submitted the same questions
getting back several insightful answers but no actual data.
So, here is how it is. I'm working on a novel idea (I hope) regarding
symbols and packages; I won't go into the details now. It suffices to say
that there is some overlap with features offered by certain Lisp
implementations, namely:
* package-local nicknames: the ability to specify, for each package, a
list of nicknames for other packages which are in effect only in that
package; available on ABCL and SBCL (
http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#Package_002dLocal-Nicknames) and possibly other
implementations I'm not aware of.
* "Hierarchical" packages: a naming convention for packages understood by
the reader and a few support functions, which allow to have concise
nicknames for a group of closely related packages, such as
com.foo.mylib.api and com.foo.mylib.implementation. Found natively in
Allegro CL (http://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/packages.htm)
and in an open-source library by P. Bourguignon.
My questions:
1) First and foremost, is anybody actually using those features? What are
you using them for?
2) If yes, how useful are they for you? What shortcomings do you find in
them?
