[toronto-lisp] cl-actors
by Leo Zovic 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

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.

Just happened to come across this in my RSS feeds: http://lispjobs.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/part-time-clojurelisp-programmer-t… Figured someone might be interested. If not, apologies. Clojure + Minecraft sounds like fun. Might want to update the TLUG website if LinuxCaffe is no longer the meeting point. bryce

Hello everyone, Here is the link for the program that I brought into the meeting for review. https://github.com/ravster/amethyst/tree/master/index-webspaces I'm having difficulty with getting it to work as a script. I'll be going back and trying to make things work as a script and then build them up step-by-step to find out where I'm making mistakes. -Ravi

[toronto-lisp] Minutes of July meeting
by Ravi Desai 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Here we go. Sorry about taking so long to send it. If anyone doesn't know, its in org-mode. ------------------------- * Present Paul Jos'h Mark Leo Ravi * Discussion ** AutoLISP and its use in industrial programming *** John Walker - cofounder of Autodesk www.fourmilab.ch + Book: "The autodesk file" : Early history of Autodesk Required reading for software startups *** AutoCAD Electrical Program that automates making drawings for use in factories Nate Holt Lisp software. 250K lines of code. Only 2 programmers writing it. Said to always meet deadlines with fewer bugs than the competition. ** Clojure Why is it the most commercially used mostly-functional language? -> concurrency JVM good. Java bad. *** Datomic Immutable database by Rich Hickey Time-based queries + Helps with testing Interface language : Datalog ** Erlang Hot code-swapping isn't a feature. It just happens when you have tail-recursion and immutable state ** Programming in industry *** Bad onions One person makes a tool, and future programmers build filters upon them. Sometimes its best to just start over *** Authentication in industry + There is none + HP printers Its possible to update their firmware, turn them into zombies and attack an office with them. ** Reading material *** Fred Brooks Mythical man-month : no silver bullet : IT managers should read this *** Joel on Software http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FiveWorlds.html * Projects ** Leo Erlang port of a 4chan-like image board Uses Erlang web-framework called Nitrogen : http://nitrogenproject.com/ Comet: protocol to keep http sessions alive

I can vouch that the Tor and Doctorow talks are interesting. Seriously, watch them.
