I've been messing around with the Maxima code. There is definitely code in there that is not... Shall wel say... “modern” Lisp code.

I was more referring to the fact that they have a macro called DEMFUN that is like defun, but emulates Maclisp behaviour.

This is from the function that implements the main interaction loop. I believe its structure has not changed since the Maclisp days.

That's what I was thinking ... I saw references to ELS earlier here. Sounds interesting ...

Too late for me for this year, but I'm thinking seriously about it for next year.

fittestbits: It is one of the most affordable conferences out there. Plus it's is dedicated to Lisp.

I needed to plan a littler further in advance and my wife is having some health issues, so it's probably good that we didn't plan on attending.

beach: I was wondering, will the politically correct crowd be upset if I name my Maxima for CLIM... Climaxima?

I'ce started considering implementing my own maths formatter in CLIM that will format the Maxima internal representation.

(except that the code is very maclisp-inspired. I presume you saw the discussion I just had with JD)

Just read it. It looks like it could use some modernization. Not sure anyone is up for that though.
