22:24:57comborico1611What is the company/project with the gecko in lightgreen and blue?
22:32:56edgar-rftcomborico1611, you mean this one? <https://web.archive.org/web/20060105182921/http://www.normal-null.de/lisp_logo.html>
22:33:42comborico1611edgar-rft: Yes! What is this?
22:36:14edgar-rftcomborico1611, it once was designed by a guy named Manfred Spiller, AFAIK it was never used by any paricular project, it just was a suggestion how a Lisp Logo could look like. There are several copies of that logo on various GitHub etc. repositories.
22:40:49edgar-rftIt's the best Lisp Logo I know of :-) think it first appeared in context of this comp.lang.lisp discussion: <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.lisp/dOS2dMSSTHg>
22:41:25comborico1611It's a very regretable it isn't being used far and wide.
3:51:02asarchFrom PCL, chapter 11: "To add an element to the end of a resizable vector, you can use the function VECTOR-PUSH. It adds the element at the current value of the fill pointer and then increments the fill pointer by one, returning the index where the new element was added.", however, can you do something a la C: int a[5]; a[3] = some_value; <- In the sense you can use arbitrary the indexes of the array?
5:02:43lokeiqubic: You sure? It' snot that expensive.
5:03:14lokeA lot of people in the US (i.e. your parents) seem to think that just because you're travelling outside the US, it's somehow complicated, expensive and difficult.
5:04:34iqubicyeah, but I don't have the time. I'm not sure I can convice my parents that they should spend this money for me to go learn about an obscure programming language.
5:04:51lokeI was talking to this guy in philadelphia or something, and he was shocked to learn that going to london was faster and easier than going to california
5:05:13lokeiqubic: That's not the right way to phrase it though
5:05:27iqubicAre there any major companies/startups using CL, or some derivation thereof?
5:05:46lokeAnyway, hopefully next year it'll be in a better location. If it's in, say, Berlin, it would be a lot easier to go to for everybody
5:06:19lokeWell, the reason the location ios as obscure as it is is because there is a company doing Lisp work located there, and they're hoping to hire people :-)
