16:49:36 jasom what is screamer?

16:49:47 jasom the screamer-plus readme is not helpful :)

16:50:05 Xach jasom: constraint/non-deterministic programming tools embedded in CL

16:51:14 jasom ah

16:51:36 Xach http://nikodemus.github.io/screamer/einstein.lisp.html has an example

18:23:12 dmiles might it be able to be more delcarative like? https://github.com/TeamSPoon/logicmoo_base/blob/master/t/examples/fol/zebra_01.clif

18:24:08 dmiles hope my { .. } reader macro isnt too confusing there

18:24:40 Xach that is the least confusing thing there.

18:25:36 dmiles starts around line 51

18:26:08 dmiles i mean the declarative parts

18:26:37 White_Flame "Dec 13, 2035" code from the future!

18:26:46 dmiles hehe

18:27:56 dmiles well i get tired of seeing myself look at filke dates on code projects as if the date was somehow realivant... so i did that as a joke upon that line of thinking

18:28:37 dmiles (tio remind myself not to pay attention to dates)

18:29:31 dmiles So basically that file is in the language of MELD/KIF

18:32:43 dmiles So the question to Xach, Non-Hand-Crafted Einstein riddles run in what programs?

18:33:43 dmiles ACTION considered http://nikodemus.github.io/screamer/einstein.lisp.html slightly "too" hand crafted

18:36:27 dmiles dont get me wrong .. i love it!

21:37:59 afiddegnum hello, i read over and lover lisp macros, can any one explain in a simpler way about them and when to use themn? so far i understand, macros creates executable functions, right ?

21:43:12 no-defun-allowed Macros are functions take code as input and output more code.

21:43:21 no-defun-allowed *...are functions that take code...

21:48:57 afiddegnum what type of code should macro take and generate what type ?

21:52:22 no-defun-allowed Code in Lisp, preferably. Compiler might freak out if you write something like (defmacro define-foo () int foo() { return 42; })
