Can confirm, was looking for that page with the animated lambda magic on xach.com but the certificate broke

hello, I am looking for one lisp programming language, little peculiar, scientific, with 3D and OpenGL, but I forgot the name. It is not common lisp implementation. It was available on GNU/Linux distributions before years, now stopped to appear in package lists. Can somebody help with clues?

hmm, did anyone clean up perma-mute list before dropping text about contacting OPs if you cannot speak?

Xach: oh, so we can now publish whole bunch of projects from a single git repository?

Xach: am i correctly assuming that if i request adding https://github.com/borodust/bodge-projects to quicklisp that would bring all of the projects in?

Am I reading it correctly that for symbols, the value must be independent of if the image, so that the address (assuming the symbols doesn't move) can not be used as a value in this case?

OK, so then I can see only two solutions. Either store a hash value with the symbol, or compute it from its name, and perhaps the name of its package too.

EQ hash tables don't have that restriction, right, i.e., the hash value could be based on the address?

In fact, the Common Lisp HyperSpec page for sxhash says that sxhash in intended for use where the pre-defined abstractions are insufficient.
14:04:39

yeah, sxhash doesn't have to be used by the hash table implementation, and i don't think the requirements match any of them anyway
14:05:58
beach
... since the hash functions of the host and those of SICL are very likely not the same.

if such problems would occur, given that you are working with just symbols, alternative solution can be engineered

The software I use to make it is on github. The meta-metadata is on github. the archives are on s3/cloudfront.

The process could be improved so anyone could do what I do more easily, but someone with determination could do it now.

ebrasca: no, I think quicklisp has a busfactor of one. (Does anyone other than Xach even have commit access?)
