Hi Daniel,<br><br>I have installed Qi under Lispworks and have also gone through the tutorials but I have not done any projects with it yet.&nbsp; Not because I don&#39;t want to but real life work has been keeping me busy.&nbsp; I will probably start learning it by doing a few <a href="http://projecteuler.net/">http://projecteuler.net/</a> problems with it.&nbsp; I also ordered the book, how long did it take you to get yours?<br>

<br>
At the Lisp50 event within OOPSLA in October, conversations between<br>
talks led to the question of what&#39;s next for Common Lisp.<br>
<br>
One candidate for extensions is Qi Lisp, which adds ML style of<br>
pattern matching while preserving access to all existing CL<br>
functionality and without being forced into a purely functional<br>
programming world.<br>
<br>
The second edition of the book is available which essentially freezes<br>
the language spec for the time-being. &nbsp;The print edition has been<br>
available for only a matter of days, so it doesn&#39;t get much newer than<br>
that!<br>
<br>
These are print-on-demand books, so for now, you must order directly<br>
from the publisher.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you can read an HTML version on the web site.<br>

<br>
With that... Has anyone here experienced Qi yet? --either the current<br>
Qi II or the original from years ago?<br>
<br>
Thoughts? &nbsp;Opinions?<br>
<br>
I just received my copy of the book and previously went through the<br>
&quot;Qi for Lisp programmers&quot; tutorial on the web site. &nbsp;I&#39;m intrigued and<br>
still learning the language. &nbsp;(In the mean time, however, ANSI CL is<br>
still my principal language.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
