gabriel_laddel: hrm.. I'll drop something in the logs about forwards compatibility sometime.
gabriel_laddel: Spending a year learning elisp, and then a year unlearning it because it's a dead end isn't pragmatic at all.
gabriel_laddel: Emacs is Stallman hating the lisp machine. Pragmatic my arse.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: fundamentally the only way I see this happening is by getting a great prince to "see" why it is one would like such a thing.
gabriel_laddel: perhaps someone will take the time to hack the "zen" X server into this stack
gabriel_laddel: phf: the whole "backends" thing (which lispworks uses) is retarded.
gabriel_laddel: earlier I started to modify the address book to handle my rolodex
gabriel_laddel: phf: My dashboard (which I use every day) is CLIM. I edit text in CLIMACS from time to time, use the listener to browse classes.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: try `apropos' and note that you can display all generic functions for a class using the left click.
gabriel_laddel: I ended up binding it to f8, as was tired of pulling it up all the time.
gabriel_laddel: I can't speak to that, but using the class browser is a great boon to CL development.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: have you been using the CLIM listener in your CL hacking?
gabriel_laddel: but there already exists a printer for the value of the symbol at point
gabriel_laddel: well, doing both is sorta a PITA, so I'll prolly decline that
gabriel_laddel: ftr, no one should have to learn elisp. it is a shit language.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: alright, gimme a minute and I'll write it for ya
gabriel_laddel: I'd love to have a list of lisps all fields you've dived into if possible.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: fyi `trace' doesn't trace across threads in mcclim unless you use M-x slime-trace-dialog
gabriel_laddel: BINGE is a FFI generator for Common Lisp. It parses C source files (header or code, it doesn't mind) and spits out a FFI for your Lisp system of choice. Functions, global variables, types and symbolic constants can be extracted just naming them. Its design is modular so that adding a new FFI API is a matter of few hours. Back-ends for SBCL, CMUCL, LispWorks, UFFI and CLISP are provided.
gabriel_laddel: I wish someone would automate this already. I write the functions, then pass them into `export-functions' which walks the program, generates POST routes for all of them.
gabriel_laddel: so you have a few function calls that diddle the db and you're tying those to routes?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: are you just playing around with hunchentoot, or writing a production system?
gabriel_laddel: a surprising amount of people simply want subordinates to order around
gabriel_laddel: trinque: in this particular they wanted something that *actually works*
gabriel_laddel: But perhaps handling some of the business side of things + gnarly technical tasks.
gabriel_laddel: I'm noodling around with the idea of my hunting down contracts for CL people
gabriel_laddel: ^^ I seem to be good at making business people feel confident / happy with me.
gabriel_laddel: This is my experience. The C++/.NET code for the device I was communicating with today - 250 lines of code to do what my single line does.
gabriel_laddel: I got serial ports comms working in a *single line* of cl today.
gabriel_laddel: o nice, then you've pretty much the best of what emacs has to offer for CL development.
gabriel_laddel: you can "inspect" objects returned at the repl by clicking on them
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I heard you just got hyperspec.el setup - do you have SLIME presentations enabled?
gabriel_laddel: Fukishima effluent on California's coast chews up the food chain to seals. 39 million person California, tremendously government subsidized, is collapsed. Its unsecured debt is the Saudi GNP while its $45 billion/year agriculture Central Valley has returned to desert, unemploying a million Mexican slaves with nowhere to go. Let's run the Battle of the Somme again, and soon. The jet stream dips south in autumn." (fr
gabriel_laddel: "The antidote to national social and financial collapse is war. War clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of social and economic realities. It rewards the creative, productive, and effective. It reduces redundant populations. North Korea, India, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia (paid for Paki research, repaid by Paki nukes) stare down some 1000 exceptionally well-crafted and deliverable Israeli thermonukes.
gabriel_laddel: williamdunne: so you're the guy who makes the spice flow?
gabriel_laddel: Speaking of Uncle Al - not only did the 'gentlemen' at the eot wash group modify their URL scheme so that his links appear "dead", but Stanford has also moved the single link in qz4.html
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: imho this is going to be a slow process of ad-hoc reverse engineering of a design, finding chiacom manufactures...
