Re: Why we cannot do this now?

I just wanted to raise my hand as a developer who rarely uses a long-lived REPL and is glad that startup time is a priority. (I've been doing Lisp for decades and have done lots of the long-lived REPL style of development, so I know the tradeoffs involved.) John On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 1:51 PM,

ANN: turboshrimp 2.0.2, for control of Parrot AR.Drone

I've released a new version of turboshrimp, my library to control the Parrot AR.Drone. https://github.com/wiseman/turboshrimp Version 2.0.2 includes the following: - A more consistent API. E.g., instead of (drone/command drone :animate :flip-left) to make the drone do a flip in mid-air,

Re: Using :refer 'sparingly'

There's a close parallel in Python, where the same issue comes up of typically using several modules or packages in a source file and the language offers a way to import the functions and classes of those modules in such a way that they can be used without any syntactic marker of their origin.

One thing you can do is index 1, 2, 3...n-grams and use a simple fast key-value store (like leveldb etc.) e.g., you could have entries like aunt rhodie - song-9, song-44 woman - song-12, song-65, song-96 That's basically how I made the Metafilter N-gram Viewer http://mefingram.appspot.com/, a

One trick I've used to speed up use of gloss is to use a lazy map so I only actually parse a piece of data if I need to. In my particular application this was an easy optimization because I was parsing a tagged data format, and I could do minimal parsing just to determine the tag of the next

Re: Style question (predicates)

In the Common Lisp world it's common for predicates to return a useful value instead of T, when applicable. It seems possible the same principle could apply to clojure. From CLtL2 http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node69.html: Often a predicate will return nil if it ``fails'' and

I don't think homoiconicity is the issue, except in a very indirect way. Note that Common Lisp does have a rather annoying, insecure default that did allow the kind of attack you're talking about: *read-eval* defaults to T http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/v_rd_eva.htm, which enables the #. reader macro,
