Hi I’m new to lisp and was wondering what development environment would be suggested? Please don’t say slime lol

o/ Can anyone tell me how I can return from a recursive call? Line 8 here: https://pastebin.com/udgjP4em . (return-from helper (car l)) doesn't seem to do the trick.

I know a bit of C I took s Visual Basic class in college so I’m not new to programming but I wouldn’t call myself a programmer

<dannyboy35 "LdBeth: I’ve been teaching mysel"> dannyboy35: then the first thing I’d like to recommend is to get some feeling of doing programming, and I think the most productive way to do so is learning emacs : D

LdBeth
dannyboy35: You don’t have to learn and read a lot to use it, my recommendation is http://spacemacs.org/ which is a work out of the box config for many programming languages including C python CommonLisp Scheme Haskell Swift ...

I have played with emacs in the past vim is just a lot easier to use at least for me

beach: ok thanks, is there a way to return from the recursive call but stay inside the main function?
5:07:00
LdBeth
bmansurov: you decide which function to return to by passing the function name to return-from
5:11:26
bmansurov
beach: sure, I think length and nth solves it easily, I wanted to try the recursive version.
5:13:30
beach
Your Common Lisp system may have a very small stack, so the risk of too great a recursion depth is significant.

jeosol: Are you excluding the women here, or are you using "guys" to refer to women as well?
5:50:47
jeosol
pardon. I used it loosely to refer to both gender, I guess, just "good morning" is correct

been a while since i was here, but noticed webchat.freenode.net has a much nicer interface now

I was trying to get a case-based reasoning book with lisp on Amazon, recalling seeing one with lisp code
5:59:25
jeosol
that's great. It's the general area. I am looking at implementing some standard problems from some articles with Gabor's/ or any neural network code and compile the examples. Some of the code examples are in python and wanted to have a compilation of these examples

aindilis: what areas of AI are you working on? Are you currently using any specific libraries?
6:01:35
beach
jeosol: If you go to Tymoon, you can search for aindilis and get the contents of the conversation.

I think what dmiles has is written in Java though, but the database is in s-expression format.
6:11:33
jeosol
ok. not very Java saavy, tried picking it up for some stuff a while ago, and lost my mind -- very verbose then
6:13:13

I am planning to get some books on AI books with some CL focus. I am interested in cognitive systems and explainable AI

ck_: I’m more interested in the interaction interface rather than the logic framework beneath
