Re: [LispSea] A 'get things done' app (in Lisp)
Well maybe the suggestion wasn't so good after all. Coding something spontaneously while being subjected to large waves of fun at the same time is something that is quite unacceptable. We can't have people laughing and coding at the same time can we ? Lisp cannot be taken to light-heartedly !!! Seriously now, just how much can a person get done while chuckling at funny looking cars ? So if we leave it a couple days it may become a more serious matter or even better, it may just disappear altogether. After all the very idea had the beginnings of humor and enjoyment ! OR We could lighten up about the whole thing. In the meanwhile I'm sailing off to a tiny island for a few days inhabited by fierce invalids from hot climates who dare not eat chicken. The Laughing Lisper...

I'm not understanding the thrust of this post. Nobody said people can't have fun coding Lisp. But what's fun for some is work for others. I personally wouldn't consider writing a website database fun, I'd consider it serious, heavy duty work. Other people may feel differently. I'm not a proponent of Stop Energy. http://www.userland.com/whatIsStopEnergy But if a project is big, I think its scope needs to be acknowledged. It's not fun when big projects simply don't work and nobody finishes them. *Small* projects tend to be fun for people. And by that I mean *Really Small*. Jeff had a good idea about his live coding sessions. Things people could complete at a meeting. Some people might consider the ICFP Programming Contest fun. http://www.icfpcontest.org My own skills aren't up to it though. http://www.ludumdare.com has had many 48 hour game programming contests. Someday maybe I'll run something like that for Chicken Scheme. That'll be a long ways off though. Cheers, Brandon Van Every
