[toronto-lisp] Lisp & Haskell
by Bryce Moore 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello all, Christopher: The Toronto Lisp Users Group's (TLUG) monthly meeting place has been closed down. Lispers: Christopher has been organizing a Haskell / functional programming night once a month at the hacklab. (hacklab.to) Maybe you could both could join forces? I know it's not perfectly ideal, but I think that it would be a good meeting of like minded people. If I'm not mistaken, the TLUG meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, that's the hacklab's open house. Again, if I'm not mistaken, the Haskell group has been meeting on the first Wednesday of every month. Christopher: Would it be possible to hold a Functional Programming Users Group on the first Wednesday of every month, and include the Lispers? Lispers: Would meeting on the first Wednesday of every month at the hacklab be okay? (Yes, I know that Lisp doesn't imply functional programming - but maybe non-functional Lispers could be made welcome?) (And yes, I'm just throwing this out there.) As an aside: I think fans of Dave Cooper's GDL / Genworks might be interested in Chritopher's ImplicitCAD: https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD Sorry if this is unwelcome / doesn't work out. I just thought it might be a natural fit. Cheers, -- Bryce Moore

[toronto-lisp] Next meeting Aug. 7

Next meeting is Tuesday August 7. www.lisptoronto.org I drove by Linux Caffee a few weeks ago and the windows were still papered over. Has the situation changed? Would someone suggest (with coordinates) an provisional alternate location? Does anyone have ties with UofT and could get us permission to grab an unused classroom once a month (the way that GTALUG does)? thanks pt

wave accounting held a hackersnest meetup. they are a bit out of the way, but i guess the linux cafe was too. I work at CSI spadina, so I can provide a room there. there are chalkboards and i think some projectors. personally, i rather go to wave accounting. :) i met the guy who started the clojure dojo. i think we'll have a computer and people will swap out every few minutes to let someone else program. it's at thoughtworks, that alone makes it worth going to. ~~ Paul Joseph Iannazzo.

Re: [toronto-lisp] Everyone (pretty much)

> Re: Clojure coding dojo Sounds interesting. Do we need to show up with working Clojure environments and a knowledge of the language, or is that provided? The meetups.com page implies we'll have 100 minutes of "implementing the problem" > Re: Lisp & Haskell Not sure how everyone feels about this, so I'm speaking for myself rather than the group. We discuss languages other than Lisp pretty frequently so it doesn't sound like it would be a huge change for the Lispers to include Haskell. How do you guys usually do it? The only problem from my perspective is that I'm not a member of the hacklab, so actually getting into a meeting would be difficult for me. > Re: Re: Linuxcaffe The Timmies is here http://goo.gl/maps/uWGpi Literally right outside Christie Station (it seems to be either unlisted or labeled "Christie Convenience Store" on google maps).

Hey guys, just a heads up for Tuesday. The cafe is still papered up; we may want to discuss a new venue.

Not sure if anyone's interested at all, but I forked this a little while ago and have been on-and-off hacking on it for the past couple of days https://github.com/Inaimathi/Common-Lisp-Actors Comments and criticisms appreciated. I'm currently experimenting with adding output queues to each actor so that they can be completely decoupled rather than statefully tracking targets. That seems to be the only annoying part of developing with the library. It seems that the changes were made without major explosions, but it's pretty late my last tea was quite a while ago.
