I would say that your IRC client uses lists somewhere, but IPL "invented" lists so it wouldn't be much of a point.

honestly, this is some weak trolling... if you want to troll better, pretend to be a paul graham fanboy

Yes, I used a program written in Lisp to emit a Java program that had ASCII art in it for a Java assignment.

Though pedantically that was Unicode art, I used the box drawing characters to make each 2x2 block of pixels into one character.

That raises interesting questions about what constitutes "source code" for that course. That was generated code (and it had a "written by PROGRAM-NAME.lisp, do not edit" header) but I didn't get into trouble for submitting that.

And I ended up changing it to 2x4 or something because most terminal fonts are taller than they are wide. A fun hack nonetheless.

It's quite a bit less powerful than TeX. There's only a few inbuilt fonts and none support non-ASCII characters from what I remember.

It's much more convenient than writing TeX I suppose, but it's quite limiting in what you can do.

Does it support mat hstuff fairly well? Like integrals or cube roots for example

But it can't do close to as much as TeX; I used cl-typesetting because I didn't want to lug around a TeX system for an accounting program.

I don't think there was much math support. (And I really didn't like the fonts.)

FYI, I've asked blix.com to intervene wrt the troll that repeatedly connects to #lisp from their network. If they don't respond, I'll ban the whole ASN.

Hello! Can I expect closer-mop:class-prototype to work on a condition class on most implementations? It work on SBCL.

I'm fairly sure you cannot expect condition classes to be standard-classes, but I don't know of any implementations that don't do that.

no-defun-allowed: hmm, on SBCL they appear to not be standard-classes, but the method is still defined for condition classes
