If I have multiple slime sessions running at the same time - does C-c C-c go just to the most recent one?

bit confused with the following problem, i have function (method), and one of the argument should be simple-array, i have declare for it
4:51:41
borei
im calling above function as (fun (#(1.0 2.0 3.0)), but getting error that #(1.0 2.0. 3.0) is not simple-array
4:56:49

borei: When the reader sees that, it creates a (SIMPLE-ARRAY T), not a (SIMPLE-ARRAY SINGLE-FLOAT).
4:58:05
beach
borei: The declaration does not have to do with what the array happens to contain, but with what it is ALLOWED to contain. In this case, the reader creates an array that is allowed to contain anything. It just so happens that it contains only floats.

smokeink: Thanks for posting the link to the Alan Kay's talk. Very interesting. I don't agree with everything he says, but many things are definitely true.

https://hackernoon.com/the-coolest-react-ui-frameworks-for-your-new-react-app-ad699fffd651 , which react based UI is lispers' favorite?

beach what are the points you don't agree with? (if this is not too much of an aggravation)

chenbin: I like this one https://lively-web.org/welcome.html , but it's not a reactjs thing, it's based on smalltalk . Haven't heard of any lisper that uses reactjs or angularjs , but there might be a few out there...
5:23:37

I'm interested if there are more points that you don't agree with or think are a good idea, I've not yet seen the entire talk (10m into it) and watching with a clear mind

I am doubtful about the universal goodness of WYSIWYG. I think that has to be moderated some. But I agree that the Web is a mess as it is.

I'm thinking how come Intel and Motorola didn't know about byte code interpreters for high level languages in hardware?
5:34:18
pjb
They knew about it of course. But they were making MICRO processors, as in µ-processors.
5:34:58
beach
epony: I don't know the details. What I do know is that there is a tendency to think about companies as homogeneous entities with lots of wisdom. In fact, they consist of people with conflicting goals and varying ideas and knowledge. It could very well be that some people knew about it, and others in the company made decisions against it.

ironically the browser icon was a navigator's wheel (as in a wooden ship) and not as in a cart / car
5:45:19
beach
epony: Interesting you should mention that. I have long thought that the steering wheel of a car is an anachronism and should be gotten rid of immediately.

I think the mishaps of modern 90ies to today choices are intentionally crippling the potential into consumer devices like a 1 button radio clock, where a press of the button incurs a bill sound and counts towards an expense meter.
5:48:22
epony
at least for most computer users, not counting into this academic environments which sadly are becoming more consumer seats

beach: one button instead of two on a device means it costs 0.10 € less, which means, over 100,000,000 devices a bonus for the CEO of 10,000,000 €.
6:00:56
pjb
because the line refering to 1-button radio clock was too long and I misidentified the author. Sorry.

The think is that either you know what dynamic variables are used by the macros, which means you have the sources of those macros, so why don't you just modify them? Or you don't and therefore you won't be able to bind what's relevant, do you?
6:34:19
pjb
shka_: also, if you would bind variables such as the cl:*print-…* variables, then it means there are bugs in those macros…
6:58:45

pjb: well, won't work, but just because i want to control read time, and not macroexpand time
