Some thoughts on extensible sequences
Some time ago I ported SBCL's extensible sequences protocol[1] to ABCL and I'm now using it to make ABCL support Java collections natively. While doing so, I realized that the sequences API has some shortcomings I'd like to discuss here. The first, perhaps more evident problem is that it assumes mutable data str... 2 Aug 2010 02:45

introductory texts for new Lispers
I've now been through what seem to be the traditional textbooks for Common Lisp, Wilensky 'CommonLISPcraft', Winston and Horn 'Lisp, 3rd', and Touretzky 'Gentle Introduction.' If I were asked to recommend introductory texts for a new Lisper, this would be my evaluation. I think the best is Touretzky. It's probabl... 2 Aug 2010 12:32

COMPILE-FILE tertiary value, failure-p
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_cmp_fi.htm The tertiary value, failure-p, is false if no conditions of type error or warning (other than style-warning) were detected by the compiler, and true otherwise. the name suggests that if compilation signals non-style warnings, then the ... 30 Jul 2010 12:58

mapcar a macro
Hi all, I have a macro that defines functions, like this: (defmacro my-defun ((name &rest rest)) `(defun ,name () (list ,@rest))) and I want to call it many time, with different arguments, like that: (my-defun (f1 1)) (my-defun (f2 2)) (my-defun (f3 3)) I'd like to use mapcar, like this: (mapcar #'m... 31 Jul 2010 07:28

ABCL 0.21 released
Thank you for letting us know. I checked out ABCL's project page and I've seen that a developers' mailing list exists. Would it be possible to make an announce mailing list available for those who don't check comp.lang.lisp often? ... 29 Jul 2010 06:23

macro checks
Given that macros are a delicate matter, will this simple (and useless) example below generate any issues? What sort of standard test one would use to avoid leaks (like variable capture etc)? (defmacro myfor (X Y ACTION Z) `(if (equal ',Z 'END) (iter (for i from ,X to ,Y) (,ACTION i)) (error "~% ERR... 30 Jul 2010 14:04
