weird, stumpwm last stable release cant load modules but git upstream build can... :D
22:51:35

then download https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp, sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp, (ql:add-to-init-file)
22:52:23
no-defun-allowed
then (ql:quickload :quicklisp-slime-helper) and follow the instructions to install SLIME
23:01:33
no-defun-allowed
you can put the setup file anywhere but you only really need it once, eg ~/Downloads/ or /tmp/

quicklisp has nothing to do with emacs :-), installation instructions are here https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/#installation

afidegnum: you need to install sbcl and slime, if you are just learning lisp
23:05:26

afidegnum: welcome to the wonderful world of lisp, where everybody has different peferences :-)

alexanderbarbosa: that's a lot like saying "pip is for advanced python users" or "npm is for advanced node users", which isn't true
23:07:44
edgar-rft
can we agree to help afidegnum to get a working Lisp envionment *as easy as possible* please?
23:07:45
no-defun-allowed
maybe it's not immidiately useful if you're just starting but there are plenty of practical things on quicklisp
23:08:34
no-defun-allowed
and I think a system manager is part of a working Lisp environment, so they should probably install quicklisp at some point
23:08:58
alexanderbarbosa
just install https://github.com/portacle/portacle and you are good to learn lisp
23:09:44
no-defun-allowed
so, then you can run (ql:quickload :quicklisp-slime-helper) in Lisp and it'll get SLIME and tell you exactly what to put in ~/.emacs
23:14:07
no-defun-allowed
alexanderbarbosa: except that there are very useful tools you usually get in other language's standard libraries in quicklisp, like alexandria, cl-ppcre, and domain-specific stuff like handling JSON

afidegnum: Practical Common Lisp and A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation books are awesome

Can somebody explain to me why this function works as intended in SBCL, but not in CCL? https://pastebin.com/nkQfGV9Y
7:32:17
schweers
CCL claims this: File #P"/proc/7377/fd/0" does not exist. [Condition of type CCL::SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR]

This is the first time I’m using wildcards and the function DIRECTORY, so I might be missing something really obvious.

afidegnum
yes, but via live conference will give an ample room to follow the coding process, and ask questions,

this is just a thought but ... it could be interesting to pick a topic to be discussed, with perhaps some texts are suggested reading. preferably something where it's not necessary to read them to be able to participate meaningfully in the discussion ...

afidegnum: You are asking people to invest a lot of work in order to help others learn Common Lisp. Most people here have full-time work or other occupations. And the people here are here for various reasons, but not mainly to help others learn Common Lisp. For that, there i #clschool.

I am just explaining why you will likely find only very limited enthusiasm for your suggestion. But I hope you will succeed. I will personally not participate.
8:38:43
moldybits
and it's not obvious to me that enthusiasm couldn't happen, but it'd require more than an impulsive idea
