Yesterday, I talked about the state machine macro I used, but forgot to show the actual macro. If anybody wants to see it, email me. pt

Yesterday, at the meeting, I said that I had not received all of the emails from the list. It looks like I was wrong - I found Abram's email buried in the noise - I simply missed seeing it. pt

[toronto-lisp] next meeting tomorrow
by Paul Tarvydas 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

The next meeting is tomorrow, April 7, yes? Any volunteers to talk about a specific topic? If not, I would enjoy getting an explanation on how to set up clojure with emacs (or whatever other options there might be) and a discussion of what GUI-building library is best to use with it (I'm blissfully ignorant of the Java world, so pointers to tutorials would also be helpful :-). If nobody has anything to talk about, then I could, off the top of my head, talk about state machines and my state machine macros and/or PAIP prolog and/or factbases. pt

[toronto-lisp] Toronto Lisp Users Group Meeting Tuesday April 7th @ Linux Caffe
by Abram Hindle 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

So this coming Tuesday is our April Meeting. Do anyone have anything they could talk about at the meet? Do we need a projector? Toronto Lisp Users Group April Meeting: April 7th, 6pm, Linux Caffe (Walk north of bloor from Christie Station, til you hit Harboard street) We're looking for volunteers for talks, discussion, tutorials. Your current projects, proposal for projects, libraries you like, tutorials or related LISPy languages, issues relevant to lisp etc. If you feel obligated to present something but don't have any idea, I suggest going into Common Lisp or Scheme R5RS and talking about how a certain function or object works, how it is implemented etc, things that use it. It is pretty easy to get a couple of minutes of content from that. http://www.lisptoronto.org/ Hope to see you there! abram

Out of curiosity, is anyone thinking of attending this year's International Lisp Conference? It's being held at MIT, and the lineup looks very interesting. http://www.international-lisp-conference.org/2009 ________ Justin

[toronto-lisp] Factor notes, and website discussion
by Telman Yusupov 10 Feb '09

Hi all, - The paper that I mentioned is called "Out of the tar pit" and is available here http://web.mac.com/ben_moseley/frp/paper-v1_01.pdf. The paper addresses the issue of software complexity and management of state is cited as the single largest contributor to complexity of software systems. - If I'm in town next month (there's a possibility that I'll be away on a consulting engagement), I'll be glad to do a presentation on Clojure. - I wholeheartedly agree on the need for the website and ready to provide the domain www.lisptoronto.org (name patterned after www.lispnyc.org) Currently, it is hosted at Google Sites<http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html>for free. Google Sites seems to be a nice web-based app that can serve needs of the group well: it works as a wiki and allows addition of file attachments, widgets (Google calendars, photo albums, spreadsheets and some others). Please let me know if hosting it there is ok with everyone interested. - If yes, then I'll add anyone who request to the list of site operators, effectively turning it into a wiki where anyone on the list can add/change stuff. - If not, we can host it anywhere else.

[toronto-lisp] Factor notes, and website discussion

Hi everyone, I've attached the notes from my Factor presentation last week, along with some of the code I demonstrated. I'm new at giving this kind of presentation, so it was a learning experience for me. I think that the live presentation I gave (actual coding, mistakes and all) worked a lot better than a PowerPoint-style one would have. I hope to give more presentations in the future. This stuff really ought to go on a website. Let's set up a Toronto Lisp website for tutorials, code snippets, meeting minutes, project collaboration, and so on. I believe someone said they already had a domain name registered, which is great. How about we set up a Wiki at first, and see where it goes? Vish Singh
