PuercoPop: CHE-BRO-LET : che (argentinian for "bro"), bro (american for "che"), let (binding operator)

yes, like a chevrolet but with a large scope. The scope allows you to see further into the road, particularly at night, and more particularly when you have (declare (optimize (safety 0) (speed 3)))

i want to make a yield generator, if keyword yield (a macro) could be local scope it should be better

oh, i've installed CCL for the first time and already installed swank... so excited, because SBCL is so mainstream for a hipster.

does anybody know if CCL will someday support package local nicknames? is CCL actively mantained ?

I talked to Xach a little bit at the ELS about the package local nickname issue. I'm willing to consider adding it to CCL.

rme: you are the maintainer? i'm not worthy! PS: You gained (1+ ) user today. Can't wait to load now my project under CCL

Note that there is an odd bug where, on Windows, sometimes (ccl:quit) will hang instead of existing the lisp. I don't know why.

fiddlerwoaroof: when that happened to me and all descriptors were taken I just did (sb-posix:close 1234)

in (let ((z 'bar)) (defgeneric foo (x) (:method-combination bar z))), what do you expect the method combination to receive as an argument?

I would help you, but my computer has some hardware problem I think, and it keeps crashing if I do too many things.

Note to self: In WSCL, specify how the :METHOD-COMBINATION option of DEFGENERIC is handled, in particular, whether the method-combination-arguments are evaluated.

hello, anyone knowledgeable about postmodern? I'm trying to put together a simple query: http://lpaste.net/3943544928583286784
10:30:07
akr
when track is nil, the query should require that track is nil, otherwise it should require that it is equal to the id
10:31:29
akr
I guess that the whole (:select …) form is quoted by pomo:query, but I can't use backtick inside it on my own

Is there a word that refers to the property of a system and processes on that system such that any effect on the system can be undone?

i found that it seems common to add (in-package :cl-user), is thete any benefit to it?

meh: if I were selling a product I'd say non-destructive. Users don't really mind how you allocate data in their software. If I were describing processes in Lisp, reversible hopefully will confuse people less.
11:56:49

nconc is destructive, append is not destructive. Neither is very reversible.

There's whole branch of since about "reversible computing", so I'd bet it has quite a specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing
