Lisp journey

We all know that we can start a web server in the REPL and develop a web app as interactively as any other app, we know how to connect to a remote Lisp image by starting a Swank server and how to interact with it from our favorite editor on our machine, we

Nearly one year ago, I received an email that asked me if I was available to do remote Lisp work.

Djula is a Common Lisp port of the Django templating language.

Nuklear is a small immediate-mode GUI toolkit: Nuklear is a minimal-state, immediate-mode graphical user interface toolkit written in ANSI C and licensed under public domain.

IUP is a cross-platform GUI toolkit actively developed at the PUC university of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

We continue our tour of GUI toolkits for CL with Gtk+3 and cl-cffi-gtk.

Here’s the second part of our exploration of GUI toolkits for Common Lisp.

Lisp has a long and rich history and so does the development of Graphical User Interfaces in Lisp.

Erudite is a Common Lisp library to write literate programs.

I have recently edited and somewhat expanded the macros page on the Common Lisp Cookbook.

ITA Software, owned by Google, the airfare search and pricing system that is still used by companies such as Kayak.com or Orbitz, is a well-known example of a successful industrial and large Common Lisp software.

please see Python VS Common Lisp (it’s a static page you can find in the menu).

I just discovered clawk, that seems to originate from lispbuilder-clawk.

I learned Java and C at school, I learned Python by myself and it was a relief.

We recently pushed our replic library version 0.12, adding a couple of expected features, thanks to the input of our users user: we can TAB-complete sentences (strings inside quotes) we can define a different completion method for each arguments of a comm…

We often hear that Common Lisp is dynamically typed, which is not wrong, but that leads to the belief that Lisp is as bad as Python concerning types, which is plainly wrong.

Not that I’m interested in using the Java platform :D but relevant comparisons between ABCL (Common Lisp on Java) and Clojure are rare.

Recently on reddit there was a reminder about lisptips.com and slime-tips.

In CLOS, a slot can have a :type option, but it doesn’t inforce type checking.

We just published a long overdue page on the Cookbook: web development in Common Lisp.

New page on the Cookbook: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/pattern_matching.html All examples come from Trivia’s wiki.

Here’s an enhanced page for the Cookbook: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/functions.html Only the Currying part was untouched (we enhanced it already), the higher-order functions part existed and was rewritten.

I’ve been paid to work on Common Lisp projects for a company for three months already.

I knew it was possible, but I got to try it recently.

It’s been already a little more than a year that I began my Lisp journey.

We heard about Deftask, a task management app for teams, a few days ago, in an article about the internals of the Chronicity library.

Turtl is a very well done, secure collaborative notebook web app. https://turtlapp.com Its api backend is built in Common Lisp: https://github.com/turtl/api/ It is based on many async libraries the developer wrote for Turtl, like the Wookie async HTTP ser…

When I started dabbling in CL, I tried to build a readline application to see how it goes.

You entered this new world of Lisp and now wonder: how can we debug what’s going on ?

Hey, pardon this very short post, it’s just for the pleasure of blogging, and to balance the usual lengthy ones.

I have a simple need: I’d like to generate an html documentation from my code.

We just installed a comment system, and it isn’t Disqus !

Shuffletron is a nice music player for the terminal written in Common Lisp, “based on search and tagging”, that seduced me with its attention to details.

What if we want to capture standard (and/or error) output in order to ignore it or post-process it ?

I just updated my Quicklisp dist and suddenly couldn’t load some libraries any more.

From sjl’s utilities (thanks so much for the nice docstrings).

I’ll save here a reddit discussion, which I find interesting but that will be burried quickly down reddit’s history.

print-licenses is a little utility found in Steve Losh’s gigantic utilities and ported to a stand alone project.

A common frustration for (impatient) beginners is to see different function names to access common data structures (alists, plists, hash-tables) and their inconsistencies (the order of arguments).

Structures offer a way to store data in named slots.

Common Lisp has mechanisms for error and condition handling as found in other languages, and can do more.

Using a program from a REPL is fine and well, but if we want to distribute our program easily, we’ll want to build an executable.
