Please don’t assume Lisp is
Friday, October 24, 2008
Please don’t assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, B2B and E-Commerce, Data Mining, EDA/Semiconductor applications, Expert Systems, Finance, Intelligent Agents, Knowledge Management, Mechanical CAD, Modeling and Simulation, Natural Language, Optimization, Research, Risk Analysis, Scheduling, Telecom, and Web Authoring just because these are the only things they happened to list. – [...]
Lisp Style Rules
Friday, October 17, 2008
Riastradh’s Lisp Style Rules are a wholly holistic and unscientific take on Lisp style rules. They have helped me not only to get a better sense of how Lisp people do things, but also why. There is other stuff like this around the Internet, but this is the only I’ve found that I enjoyed reading. [...]
A System to Understand Incorrect Programs
Sunday, August 17, 2008
An ancient paper (July 1978: 30 years ago) from the long gone Lisp Bulletin by Harald Wertz. The system describes attempts to improve incompletely specified Lisp programs, without however resorting to more information, in the form of specifications, test cases or the like. Found here.
ACM SIGPLAN Lisp Pointers
Sunday, August 10, 2008
While reading a (now forgotten) comp.lang.lisp post, I saw the publication ACM SIGPLAN Lisp Pointers mentioned. Unfortunately I don’t have access to this part of the digital library (for that you need to be a paying member). Perhaps this is something in to which it is worth looking. Any time folks are interested in something [...]
On Lisp
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
During my vacation, I skimmed Paul Graham’s book On Lisp. There were many interesting bits in there: He really tries to “sell the wonder of Lisp”. I’m not sure is possible, though. “Users prefer double edged swords to blunt ones” I think that he loves Scheme, but uses CL for practical reasons. He digs deep [...]
The Circle is Complete
Saturday, August 2, 2008
From Ars: Lisp’s syntax is based on lists—data structures that Mallavarapu said are conceptually similar to chunks of XML The Circle is Complete! :) (via C.L.L)
Common Lisp HyperSpec
Thursday, July 3, 2008
The Common Lisp HyperSpec is a hypertext version of the ANSI Common Lisp standard comprising approximately 15MB of data in 2300 files which contain approximately 105,000 hyperlinks. (via Wikipedia)
P-Lisp rides again!
Saturday, June 7, 2008
In this comp.lang.lisp post Ron Garret explains how he found and is in the process of exploring a copy of P-Lisp (PLisp) for the Apple IIe. Addendum 06/24/08: Ron explains how he created and released a disk image here.
Using PLT Scheme for Game Development
Saturday, June 7, 2008
This presentation at the Vancouver Lisp Users Group sounds like a lot of fun.
