9:10:56schweersis mcclim really omni-platform (I like the term)? I tried it on windows once because that was what I had running as I stumbled on it, and the demo didn’t work. Was my lisp environment somehow misconfigured (which might very well be the case) or is this a general known issue?
9:11:12schweersI should add that I never tried it on linux so far
9:12:15schweersI understand why there is no windows backend
9:12:52jackdanielactually there is, but it is alpha quality
9:13:05jackdanielbounty is for bringing it to meta and merging with main repository
9:13:43jackdanielrunning on windows is also possible with running Xserver there (not that it's appealing, just saying its possible)
9:13:56jackdanielLinux is best supported platform atm
9:14:18jackdanielthere is $500 bounty for windows backend, and $400 for fixing beagle (OSX) backend which is somewhat broken
9:15:08schweersI’m running the demo on linux right now
9:15:51schweershm. has problems with my keyboard layout :/
9:16:10beachschweers: Speaking of which, these days I never :USE packages other than the COMMON-LISP package. I use explicit package prefixes for the others. It is much more clear where symbols come from that way, and there is less risk that my software will break when those packages are updated.
9:16:47jackdanielhm, in case of CLIM applications you are encouraged to :use CLIM-LISP package :-)
9:35:05beachI have been thinking of crowdfunding SICL as well, but then, I am reminded that the main problem is not money, but qualified contributors with time on their hands.
15:17:29jasomI got a super-linear speedup by parallelizing my program (by converting to work-queues I was able to batch up doing some work that I had been doing incrementally before, which turned out to be a big win performance-wise)
