Every now and then there's an extensive off-topic discussion that ends abruptly with "go to #lispcafe" and then I check #lispcafe for the continuation and it was not continued there.

Of course, the "go to #lispcafe" instruction arrives too late, and not everybody is there too.

anyone currently active in a convo can see the suggestion to 'go to #lc' , but most of us kind gentleman take that as a hint that we are Wrong.

There it's almost impossible to have an emacs question answered, it's drown into off topic talk, almost all the time.

we could say something like "lets filter all the non-lisp stuff out into #lispcafe, but please, for heaven's sake, let the lisp things remain here as well"

on another facet, i feel kind of powerful or important or special to have 4 lisp channels , actually 7, and at most one for anything else

#lisp ##lisp #lispcafe #lispgames #ecl #sbcl ; aside from the last three which have their own cliques and themes, sometimes its hard to tell what comes from where or what goes to where. and to who and etc..

I was in ##lisp and #lispweb but left them years ago because they're kinda dead and I'm in too many channels (20ish)

I am also in #clnoobs which very often is a bunch of Lisp veterans talking about deep details of the language.

ok, perhaps we could keep a single room, but it would have to be a bigger room, so that each conversation could occur independenty, in a different corner of the window.

Except people still won't use it because it won't be pure Lisp because it will have to FFI into OpenGL and something like SDL
21:19:38
aeth
The best bet would be Mezzano and the author, when questioned here a while back, said something along the lines that Vulkan is possible but OpenGL is basically too complicated.

Hi, I'm interested in making a Quicklisp private repository and I haven't seen much documentation related to doing this. After some googling I have found a project called Quickdist that seems to do it, but I don't know if it follows the exact structure of what would be considered a proper Quicklisp private repo (i.e something that someone can use the ql client to just point to grab the projects). is the Quicklisp-controller pro

I'm writing a program that, depending on an argument, should switch either the x or y component of a vector that I'm storing in a cons cell. What's the best way to do this? Could I pass in an atom like 'x or 'y?

White_Flame, memo from jmercouris: any examples of tree based GA in Lisp that you can point me to?

If I wanted to pass in an atom like 'x or 'y, how would I do that? I tried using an if and eq, but that didn't work.
2:39:06
White_Flame
(defun foo (var) ...) if you call it via (foo 'x), then a (if (eq var 'x) ...) should work
2:40:06
White_Flame
if your 'x in the caller is cl-user::x, and your 'x in FOO's source code is my-project::x or something

minion: memo for jmercouris: there are little examples via google, but you'd have to customize and figure out what sort of code mutations you want

I've got one recursive function, and I can't really think of a good way to break it down.
