When i write 'this 'is 'madness in emacs slime repl why does it only returns last symbol as output? Why not all three?

i suppose sbcl doesn't clear the input buffer after every repl read like emacs does, or something.

there's not really a "correct" or "incorrect", it's just however the repl feels like working

makomo: electrical circuits usually contain circular components (feedback paths), have you considered that in your hierarchical topology?

So there is a scheme dialect of lisp and there are various dialects of scheme ... ?
20:22:13
Bike
something like that. the distinction between "dialect" and "language" is almost as vague as it is in natural language.
20:22:40

i recommend asking what scheme to get for sicp in #scheme. i'm sure they have heard that exact question many times.

brontosaurusrex, this is a COMMON LISP channel, ask in #scheme (because they kow it better than we)

with the gray streams extension, you can define methods on the stream-read-byte function.

Bike
because that's exactly what gray streams provides, and most implementations support the extension.

is "metamorphosis" the name of a library or are you referring to butterfly development or what

edgar-rft
one can perfectly morph in 1 dimension, so methamorphosis must not necessarily be complex

Is there anything similar to clojure's edn for cl? A way to read in a safe subset of the language that can be used for data transfer, conf files, etc?
2:04:41
edgar-rft
there's read-line returning one line as a string plus a parser for safe tokens, to be written by *you*
2:34:19
Bike
that doesn't mean anything. it's not returning true because (getf emp1 :gender) will be the list (QUOTE MALE).
