Well, my first attendance at a SeaFunc meeting was certainly auspicious. In talking about quiet venues, I mentioned Ralph's Grocery & Deli at 4th and Lenora....
Among the conversations at the May 16 SeaFunc meeting, I got to exchange ideas and experiences with Jeff Henrikson. In talking about my interests in the...
A couple of tweaks. To make sense of the first paragraph, try these two: Among the conversations at the May 16 SeaFunc meeting, I got to exchange ideas and...
Hello Seafuncsters, I've recently gotten back into the old classic Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and one of the exercises on the topic of...
Note *new location* we are trying this time. Note that it is also Ruby Tuesday at Redline. (Ruby as in rails, not guns !!). So there will be opportunity to...
Dennis, I may be your only audience interested in modeling computation as a small combination of "convincing" primitives. Nevertheless, I encourage you to use...
Hello, I remember going through this exercise before. Though I really liked the book, this wasn't my favorite part. There is a certain quaintness about the...
... I've gotten sandwiches there plenty of times after 7, even 9 PM. Where did you get that idea? Or maybe you're referring to a personal dietary limitation?...
... Gregory> No sandwiches after 5 PM :( Decent pizza, though. -- This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the...
On http://wiki.alu.org/lispsea ... Not to diminish SeaFunc but time has come to resurrect a Lisp group in Seattle. Along the lines of the Vancouver lisp...
... Changed maybe two months ago. They now have waiters and no sandwiches after 5:00. I'm sure they're still happy to let groups meet there, although the last...
... Do you have a quorum? My experience has been it takes 3 *reliable* people to start a group. 3 people you can count on showing up, without fail. SeaFunc...
At our last meeting -- after the smoke had cleared -- I talked with Jacob (whose name I'm probably misspelling or misremembering), who works at Amazon, and who...

Interesting. From what I can find at (http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/index.html), the Chicken system is at version 2.3. I'm curious to know...
... I'm not doing anything "distinct" from this work. The standard build is based on autoconf and ./configure and etc. There's also a .bat file for building...
Thanks for the long report. That's very interesting. Is it necessary to operate the Window build of Chicken with MinGW / MSYS or is there a complete native...
... MinGW exists to build native Windows apps. It links against MSVCRT.dll. I realize that my use of MSYS may confuse the issue, but there is nothing...
Hi, I must begin with the disclaimer that my familiarity with Scheme is very limited, and I haven't used Scheme with concurrency at all. With that out of the...
I'm beginning to get the picture. MinGW and MSYS are used in the development process when you are building Chicken on a Windows PC. How about the C programs...
... I'm told they are. I haven't fully verified that yet. I do know that my Chicken 2.3 built with VC++ generates .c code that my MinGW and Cygwin Chicken...
