7:41:55contrapunctusI'd try, but I know neither compilers nor as much CL as I'd like. Instead, I'm trying to design a set of malleable programs, exploring at least CL (+ CLIM) and Smalltalk as solutions.
7:42:54beachGood. CLIM/McCLIM is an essential part of what I want to see in the future.
9:22:19beachActually, I do have a task for someone who would be interested in contributing to the SICL project. The FORMAT module is one of the first modules I wrote, and it is not particularly coupled to the rest of SICL, so it could be extracted to a separate repository. There are a few directives missing, so those are additional tasks to work on.
9:22:20beachAnd the directive interpreter exists, but the directive compiler should be written at some point. The current (huge) file format.lisp should be split up into several smaller files, probably with the code for one directive in each file. And a test suite is needed, probably mostly taken from the ANSI test suite I would imagine.
9:23:59beachTwo systems should be supplied, one for "intrinsic" use, i.e. in a system that does not already have FORMAT, and one for "extrinsic" use, i.e. for testing in a system that has FORMAT that we don't want to clobber. Each system should have an appropriate package definition.
9:24:59beachIt would be possible for a relative newbie to take on this task, in which case, guidance will be provided.
