#Lisp peeps, I kinda hate enums (in languages that have them) compared to lisp symbols

I'm beginning to really sympathise with the claim that #lisp has "no syntax".

@snowyfox Try Freenode #lisp

Why don't more languages implement a condition system like common-lisp's, or dylan's, or smalltalk's?

Follow up question:How essential is it to you to program in the debugger?

🚀 Hey #Guile hackers !

I am starting to write a book (fr+en) to learn the language in a "Test Driven Learning" style (big fan of TDD here haha)

The "hello world" step is written so you can have a glimpse of the experiment ! ⚗️

Hack for good ! 🤗 🖖

"The Common Lisp Condition System" wouldn't have been possible to create without help of TONS of people from the programming community.

The Hall of Fame chapter of the book is really massive and full of people - just take a look at https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/1949#1949

My upcoming Common Lisp book, "The Common Lisp Condition System", was officially announced by Apress. It'll be available in paper and electronic formats at the end of the year.

#lisp (When someone complains about too many "()") | http://redd.it/hpmpzr

Quick question (I hope!) for fellow #Lisp coders: I am trying to write a macro to simplify cl:sdl2 key-up and key-down event handler logic, which typically consists of a list of (when...) forms and many references to :scancode-X keyword symbols (where X is different for each when block).

I'll probably make a post about presentations soon.

#lisp SBCL: New in version 2.0.6 | http://redd.it/hijuce

Note to self: I love strongly(ish) typed #Lisp. Some days I feel like I'm unnecessarily making my code more noisy, but then comes an unexpected moment where all this typing saves me from making a stupid mistake. It's worth the effort and extra visual noise.

Perhaps, as I seem to have more down time lately, I will sit down and work through #sicp in the next few weeks.

I need to become more proficient in #guile anyway. I don't have a reason in particular to become more proficient, other than it is there and #lisp is a rather interesting language.

#introductions

Hi all, I'm new at mastodon in general. I'm a lisper (mainly common lisp, novice schemer, love all the lisps). I work with Igalia's compiler team on WebAssembly formal spec and WebAssembly support in Firefox (c++). Free Open Source Software proponent, and free open knowledge for everyone. I am also a logician, used to work on set theory years ago.

Thanks @phoe for introducing me to functional cafe! Looking forward to fun times talking about any #lisp dialect.

I have overhauled the Lisp Koans. They should suck much, much less now.

I used #lisp in #emacs to help solve this #puzzle - but only as a calculator!

I have a ten digit number, abcdefghij. Each of the digits is different, and

a is divisible by 1ab is divisible by 2abc is divisible by 3abcd is divisible by 4abcde is divisible by 5abcdef is divisible by 6abcdefg is divisible by 7abcdefgh is divisible by 8abcdefghi is divisible by 9abcdefghij is divisible by 10What’s my number?

I am growing tired of #c, #perl and #python.

Wonder what I could do to transition into a shop that like more interesting languages like any of the #lisp family, particularly #guile, or functional sort of languages like #ocaml or #haskell.

As I am learning #guile and #ocaml, expressing ideas in #C and #python seem tedious and somehow lack elegance.

I feel somehow trapped where I am. I fear soon I will stop learning. *sigh*

I am working on a tutorial that describes the Common Lisp condition system.

So far, I have about a half of it written; I first explain dynamic variables to the reader, then build a simple hook system using dynamic variables, and then move that system to the Lisp condition system using HANDLER-BIND.

Could I request a general review of the part that is already present there? Boosts welcome.
