20:27:54dTalSure, metaphorically speaking - whatever form the "more structured" version of metaprogramming takes, it'll probably be layered on some kind of macro system
20:50:55slarkwas trying to find lib for GUI app, and found that lispworks made them easy to use on all OS
20:52:30slarki read that QT made bindings for lisp should be the best option
20:52:43slarkbut i am not a QT fan even when i use C/C++ or python
20:56:32antoszkaslark: Hard to quantify, but I think most people here will use open-source implementations (sbcl and clozurecl being probably the two most popular) with open source UI libraries.
20:56:44fiveopI have a problem that I can best describe by an example (http://paste.lisp.org/display/351183) and the question "How can I conditionally splice a comma form into a backquoted list?"
20:57:35antoszkaslark: Open source GUI libraries aren't the strongest side of CL these days, unfortunately, but most progress seems to be going on the McCLIM refresh and QT5 fronts (the latter in the form of Shinmera's work).
20:57:40fiveopThe example is the condensed form of my real problem.
20:57:49antoszkaChannel, correct me if I'm bullshitting.
20:57:55Bikethe double backquote is kind of scary, but you can do it with ,@
22:08:31ptdelhello I am very new to lisp, I have a question that is probably really silly. If I want to load multiple libraries at runtime, should I be making an .asd file that loads all of my libs or just use quicklisp?
22:08:55pjb`ptdel: It's probably better to define your asd.
22:09:04ptdelwhen I want to load lots of libs I am doing (mapcar #'ql:quickload :lib1 :lib2 :lib3) I'm guessing this is a jank way
22:09:15pjb`But you could as well write a script such as ^
22:09:38ptdelasdf would be somewhat akin to a setup.pu in python's package structure I take it?
22:10:56ptdelah ok, correct me if I am off base, I would use the defsystem form for this correct? with each of my libs being in the :depends-on or :component keywords?
22:11:39ptdelah :components are my files :depends-on are libraries, I see now
22:12:04ptdelthank you for your help phoe and pjb`
6:37:39closkarhey. Are there any CL libraries that incorporate well with the modern/popular javascript plotting libraries? Fx. D3.js, plot.ly or three.js?
6:38:21closkarCurrently I'm plotting with plot.ly through parenscript, but frankly it is a bit of a pain (for me anyways).
6:38:43clintmcloskar: A long, long time ago, I used parenscript to make a game with three.js.
