Darn, I am bummed that you can't make a symbol-macro out of a keyword.

Was hoping to cheat my way into a repl-command type thing.

where :display does something like (display *)

you could still do it with a use-d package

Xach: Sounds like reader hack time: https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/2085

it's true that you don't *have* to use the basic reader on a repl
19:19:24

I think a separate REPL reader is a pretty neat idea

phoe: It's OK, I just figured it out -- I was having troubles with cl4py with undefined functions. Then I dug around and figured out that macros (for reasons that are obvious when I think about it) are not available
20:13:40

But it was pretty puzzling until I figured that out.
20:15:48
phoe
I am now curious why I would get called for cl4py!
20:16:52

pve: that'll almost work, lispworks doesn't let you defun on keywords for whatever reason
20:17:02
phoe
s/almost work/work almost everywhere/
20:19:58
pve
well for lispworks one would have to put the functions in another package then
20:20:38
rpg
phoe: Sorry -- somehow I got you and marco confused in my head!
20:20:39
phoe
or write a similar reader macro!
20:21:29
phoe
I have no idea how you could confuse us two, he's the cooler and smarter one and weighs much less
20:22:37
pve
phoe: but does the spec say anything about defun on keywords?
20:24:05
Xach
lispworks complains though.
20:25:19
pve
I'm somewhat tempted to revise my paste
20:30:08
pve
does lispworks complain now? https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/2085
20:30:44
phoe
that's a hack, but it shouldn't complain now
20:32:33
pve
phoe: more of a hack than the previous thing?
20:33:39
pve
but that's a hack I can live with, to be honest

I just noticed that the quickdocs powering the quicklisp search from the quicklist webisite has been shutdown... what is the current suggested way of searching quicklisp modules?
20:58:57

(format nil "https://quickref.common-lisp.net/~A.html" system-name)

phoe thanks. I guess they're all on one page so you can sort of search them

ACTION needs to update the search target
