Password input in a console application
by Alessio Stalla 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Greetings everyone, is there a well-known way to do the thing in the subject, i.e. ask the user for a password in a console application, reading from the keyboard without echoing anything to the terminal? Using a library is fine, SBCL only is fine, limited to some OS is not so fine but better than nothing. Any idea?

Expansion of double backticks and commas
by Andrea Monaco 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

I see that SBCL expands this way: ``(,,@'(0 1 2) ,3) -> `(,0 ,1 ,2 ,3) so apparently the second comma is consumed while the first one is copied before each element of the spliced list. This behavior seems peculiar to sbcl, as clisp evaluates that form to (LIST* 0 1 2 '(3)) and gcl to (LIST 0 1 2 3): they both discard the other backtick-comma pair. I wonder what ANSI says on the matter. Does any of the two behaviors, the sbcl's and the clisp/gcl's, follows from the basic rules, for example those in http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/02_df.htm? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Andrea Monaco

We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. The 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 Technical Program ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. * Experience reports: papers of up to 6 pages describing a successful use of a Lisp dialect and/or analyzing obstacles that have kept it from working in practice. * Tutorials: abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest. * Demonstrations: abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications. All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM Computing Classification System 2012 concepts and terms. Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following link http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=els2023. Note: to help us with the review process please indicate the type of submission by entering either "paper", "demo", or "tutorial" in the Keywords field.
