hello, new to common lisp, using sbcl on linux mint, I installed the cl-quicklisp package but it doesn't seem to be accessible in sbcl
21:18:45
quipa
Any ideas what I should configure? Or should I just uninstall that package and follow the procedure in the website
21:20:01

Hum in synaptic I notice the package installed /usr/share/cl-quicklisp/quicklisp.lisp

what packaging is xD, still haven't come by a good cross-platform language agnostic package manager
21:25:02
quipa
the only thing I am wondering now is if the other packages that get installed by the system package manager will be easy to use

when it comes to package managers I love this essay http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/motherfuckers_need_package_management.xhtml

(expt -10 1) #| --> -10 |# I guess they test (= 1 1.0) #| --> t |# and perform the integer expt.

it also says it "can" return a complex if it's not an integer, not that it "must"

while #c(-10 0) indeed always collapses to -10, it is a different story for floats

I have a question, which may be sbcl specific, or may have no meaningful answer. I have fasl files on disk. Is there a way to inspect which optimization qualities were used to build them?
8:23:53
pjb
schweers: alternatively, recompile it with various optimization and compare the generated bianries.

I guess you could also capture the optimization declaims/proclaims and have them available in the fasl, using defparameter or something?

I got an hour in Rome myself, as my flight out of Genoa was cancelled and had to reroute. But I did get home on the same day.

dim: I normally don’t need this information, it is just for debugging purposes after the fact. I want to know if I accidentally used the wrong settings.

Having read (well, skimmed) the 'proceedings', I wonder if ELS could take a stand for abandoning double-column article format (especially with CL's appropriately-descriptive-identifier-style.

splittist: That would make it more difficult to be associated with the ACM, I would think.

What a twisted web. And to think some academics give advice on how society should be ordered... (:

They could pretend they were writing for the Journal of Computing and Cultural Heritage (not too far from the truth); the ACM allows a single column format for that...
