There's an unofficial meetup on the 1st of May which is the first Thursday of the month, at the Fox & Fiddle of course. Show up if you like, there will probably be just a few people showing up. The next official meetup will be in June, on the 5th. -Rudolf

[toronto-lisp] Scheme Shell Scripts
by Rudolf 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

She sells scheme shells by the scheme shore. Or something like that. Does anyone have some Scheme Shell (SCSH) scripts that they can send over? I'm writing an article with a few practical usage examples but I need more source code to look at. Thanks, Rudolf

[toronto-lisp] Next meetup! and links
by Rudolf 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hey, 8 people showed up for the meetup which is awesome. The food was good (I think?) and we had some tables in the backroom of the Fox & Fiddle which was much quieter than the rest of the place. We'll have to reserve those tables again next time. I had the thought that we could do monthly meetups during the warmer months, so that means the next meetup would be in the first week of May. If we go with the current schedule, then the next meetup is in June. So we're having a vote, who wants to do a meetup next month? Any other suggestions are welcome too. Also, here are some links to some of what was discussed last night: ContextL - http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/contextl.html Cells - http://www.cliki.net/Cells Art of the Meta-Object Protocol - http://www.amazon.com/Art-Metaobject-Protocol-Gregor-Kiczales/dp/0262610744 (can't find any PDF version of it, except for a sample of one chapter) Chicken Scheme - http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/ (someone mentioned they were replacing Perl scripts with this Scheme in particular?) Clojure - http://clojure.sourceforge.net/ I'm bad with names but there was a University of Waterloo student who mentioned doing analysis of source code indentation and how it indicates complexity. I think this is it: http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~migod/papers/2008/icpc08-abram.pdf but I'm not sure. What other object-oriented Common Lisp books are there? Thanks, -Rudolf
