18:12:12enedilI mean, I would try to understand id better, but now I'm writing for code to pass my class, due to covid we had "remote classes" - consultations by email, so now, I'm trying to make some code that works. My go-to functional language is OCaml and it wouldn't like this kind of solution too
18:12:56dloweI usually only use the bare let variable clause when I intend to setf it
18:13:58dlowebut that's more personal idiosyncrasy
19:19:33Xachdlowe: i use that form in COND sometimes
19:20:06Xachlike (cond ((setf result (blah ...)) <use result>) ...))))
20:39:02pjbdlowe: I prefer to use let rather than setf: (cond ((let ((result (compute-result))) (do-something-with result) result)) …) ; not the empty body.
