21:54:23WhiskyRyanI started with CLISP but found it to be orders of magnitude slower for some example programs in a book I read than SBCL. Is the speed of the compiled code for CCL comparable to SBCL?
21:55:18pjbWhiskyRyan: yes, same order of magnitude: both are native compilers.
21:55:47mm__WhiskyRyan, from which book you take those examples?
21:56:08WhiskyRyanlooks like it is on homebrew so I will try it out now.
21:57:15phoeDoes anyone know the proper type syntax for CFFI:WITH-FOREIGN-ARRAY?
21:58:10phoeI have a (array (unsigned-byte 8) N). I want to turn it into a foreign array for C usage.
21:58:27phoeAnd, as I've mentioned before, the feature is very much undocumented.
22:05:06clintmXach: In case someone is looking for this same problem and the irc log comes up in their search, the solution is to pass :preserve-uri to drakma:http-request so that it doesn't re-encode params in the url.
22:09:27clintmI guess that was like 4 hours ago, but still.
5:46:53drmeisterA reason to use it is if you have C++ libraries you want to drive from Common Lisp. Nobody has taken me up on that lately.
5:47:45drmeisterI'm developing it as a computer aided molecular design environment. That requires a lot more than just Common Lisp - that's what I've been working on.
5:50:58otwieraczYep, I've got the context. I was just curious about current status.
