[toronto-lisp] meeting tomorrow, 6pm at Linuxcaffe
by Vish Singh 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

The October meeting of the Toronto Lisp Users Group is upon us! Tuesday October 5 2010, 6pm, at the Linuxcaffe Lately I've become interested in methods for reliable software. The article "Crash-Only Software" is a great read (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.90.9585&rep=rep1&t…) I wonder if these or similar ideas have been pursued using Lisp. I know there's someone working on an Erlang in Lisp. But I feel like that's only the beginning.. See you all tomorrow! http://www.lisptoronto.org/ Best wishes, Vish

[toronto-lisp] LaTex for Scheme
by David Penton 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Do any of you use LaTeX? I am looking for something to typeset Scheme snippets in LaTeX article or amsart. I have tried slatex with so-so results. I am not happy to have to run it from the command line, and do not presently have time to hook it into emacs the way I want. I use the listings package successfully for CL but this package does not really understand Scheme as far as I can tell. Any suggestions? Best, - Dave -

[toronto-lisp] REMIX THIS GAME (IN LISP!)
by Abram Hindle 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

http://dto.github.com/notebook/remix-this-game.html Basically DTO has written a neat game that I demo'd before but you can edit just about everything inside the game. The assets (music, audio, pictures, levels) and even the source code. He's got binaries for many platforms or you can just download the code from github. He also writes: http://lispgamesdev.blogspot.com/ http://dto.github.com/notebook/xong.html abram

[toronto-lisp] meeting Tues. July 6
by Paul Tarvydas 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Who's coming out? Anybody have anything to present, or ask questions about? I know that a number of us are faced with .Net vs. no CL issues. We could continue that discussion. I have a not-fully-tested WAM (Prolog Warren Abstract Machine) written in CL that I could bring, if it interests anyone. pt

[toronto-lisp] Pattern Matching Approaches in CL
by Justin Giancola 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

As mentioned at the meeting: * DESTRUCTURING-BIND: http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/m_destru.htm * Chapters 18. Destructuring and 19. A Query Compiler from On Lisp: http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html or as HTML: http://www.bookshelf.jp/texi/onlisp/onlisp_19.html#SEC117 http://www.bookshelf.jp/texi/onlisp/onlisp_20.html#SEC120 but I find the styling of the latter unbearable.
