Hi all, As a part of learning lisp, I implemented a toy interpreter for an arc-ish dialect of lisp, in python. http://sreeram.cc/?p=15 Right now its pretty...
... Hi, This is really cool. I haven't read much Python code, but this is some of the most lucid I've seen. Just a thought, hacking on this might be fun, but...
... Thanks! ... It probably doesn't help in learning the nitty-gritty details of CL, but it sure helps in learning the basic lisp concepts. Ofcourse, my goal...
... Why python? Real coders program in C (nah, assembly). ;) Don't know much python, but will try to understand it some time. ... I had written a bare bones...
... not direct machine code? ;) ... I would expect the garbage collector to be another non-trivial piece of the code. You get that for free with python. What...
... Forgot that. direct hex (or even binary?) is the way to go. ... Arghhh... it was a Lisp without GC!! Just an interpreter. Didn't do anything else after the...
The main version of Python uses reference-count GC, which I suspect would not really even support a real Common Lisp. At any rate, it would leak memory like a...
... Python has had support for cyclic garbage collection for the last six years (since 2.0 was released). It uses reference counting with periodic cycle...
Oops! Sounds like I made the kind of complaint about Python that people make about Lisp, e.g. `it is slow'. ... -- Lisp humour: LISP> (setf god (symbol-value...
Picked this up at Planet.Lisp .. dunno if you've heard of it already, I haven't seen it in the list. http://tachyon.in/jobs/jobs.html We are looking for...
Hi, all. I just read an article by our friend Rainer Joswig at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/9066f18de540e235 (beginning `Lisp has a...
Having not seen a post here for a long time, here's one apropos the Lisp CD that never really took off. Bill Clementson blogs about "Lisp with Batteries...
Alok, Thanks for your continued interest. I was disheartened in this group's discussion about putting together a Lisp CD-ROM because it seemed like our focus...
Hello all, ... Personally, I think a bootable CD is not a good idea.It is very difficult to work in an environment which boots from a CD. Emacs and friends...

i agree. the bootable CD is not a good idea. in any case, clisp can be easily installed on both windows and linux what i would like on such a CD is nice...
Er, by `command-line-Lisp-startup', I meant the environment starts up from the command line. If someone can think of a good way to make a GUI-oriented startup...
... I must say I agree with this sentiment. It's a lot of effort. The old wiki page [1] is still up with the discussion, such as it was. ... I have the SICP...
... If you're targeting the people on this list, then I doubt you will find many people. You can have a quick poll on who here doesn't have everything on that...
Roshan, I seldom run across anyone who really even wants to look at Lisp -- even for a 5 - 10 minute demo. On the other hand, if I have a Lisp project going,...
Alok, Hmm. How did you choose the lispniks mailing list as a venue for your question? I kind of like comp.lang.lisp. I asked some questions there recently and...
... um, I don't get you. Are you suggesting that the answers from cl-faq were neither wonderful nor deeply considered ? I spoke to a couple of friends and they...
Alok, ... No, I wasn't implying exactly that. It just seems c.l.l. is also a good place to ask good Lisp questions and a good, appropriate question there might...
... Would be a lot easier (And a lot more takers?) if the CD/DVD was just copied on informally for free (of cost). -- Prashanth Mohan http://prashblog.com...
... Yes, I do think that it is that simple. I have not asked on c.l.l. I don't think that the answer would be substantially different from the one Pascal gave...
... I offered a CD with just source packages (from the wikipage) some time ago but found no takers. I guess the intersection of the set if poeple with...
Alok, I appreciate your comments and like your positive spin on the reasons for you're getting few takers. ... Now I am really beginning to like the demo idea,...
Prashanth, I'm not sure. Anyway, I suppose one could just carry around the CD-ROM with me all the time. I carry around so much else, anyway. Now I need ideas...
