loke: I use #.(symbol-name ...) pretty much everywhere instead of hardcoding the symbol as a string of upper case characters

I know it's essentially pointless, but at least to me it feels better to not hardcode the assumption about the reader that will almost certainly be valid. Perhaps this could be turned into something more concise?

But... I suppose I should be using &environment env instead of assuming intern without that argument would work correctly

shka: glad you like it. but i have to learn more CLIM or get somebody to help out to make it less horrible to use

how come NIL is a list and also an Atom?
14:21:15
jmercouris
it also makes sense intuitively, at least to me
14:21:38
jmercouris
an empty list has a value of NIL, but it is also sort of "indivisible", a smallest part, and therefore NIL
14:21:45
jmercouris
that's how I think of it mentally
14:22:47
jmercouris
s/and therefore NIL/ and therfore an atom
14:24:17
loginoob
jmercouris: so NIL does not consists cons cell
14:24:47
jmercouris
is that a question or a statement?

other than quickproject, is there something built into asdf to just dump a sample file?
14:32:14
jmercouris
like a default file?
14:32:38
Xach
jmercouris: I don't think so.
14:32:52
Xach
there are several projects that do things like quickproject
14:32:55
Xach
but nothing built into asdf
14:33:08
jmercouris
feels like a glaring omission
14:33:35
jmercouris
maybe too outside of the scope of asdf
14:36:44
Xach
Some things are only glaring from specific perspective

Was clhs 17.1.1 added to address the sequence functions that don't require proper sequences?

I wasn't sure becuase most sequence functions specify that they need a proper sequence while a small few just say sequence
