Feel free to bang on it. Passes all tests in sbcl, ccl and ecl. As mentioned yesterday, still substantial failures under abcl and allegro

jmercouris: hi, some time ago you had problems with running gtk with sbcl on mac, i remember now where i read about main-thread problems on mac os: https://github.com/vydd/sketch#Requirements
12:51:29
jmercouris
however if you manually invoke gtk-main from the cl-cffi-gtk package you can control on which thread things happen

jmercouris
I don't even know where to document this knowledge though, I would like for it not to be lost

jmercouris: You could documentat this in the wiki of your github project if it is on github. At least to begin with.

I don't know, Apple is quite alien to me, in addition to GTK, so can't provide an informed decision about it.

Hi, not sure what the rules are for sharing links like this, but wanted to get feedback about doing a state of common lisp survey for 2020: https://www.reddit.com/r/Common_Lisp/comments/f0jrnv/state_of_common_lisp/
16:48:41

Sharing links is fine as long as you give a short summary of what it refers to, just like you did.
16:51:23
beach
developernotes: I am not sure what the format is of this description of the state. Is it just a random selection of remarks from individuals?
16:52:47
PuercoPope
beach: yes, the previous one is from 2015: https://borretti.me/article/common-lisp-sotu-2015
16:53:22
beach
Hmm. So how is such a random selection supposed to be any sort of indication of the state of anything really?
16:53:23
developernotes
beach: sorry, that isn't the survey itself, I just wanted to make people aware of it in case there were any questions they'd like to see on it.

It is common in other language communities to give a yearly report of the communities recommended libraries. But Lisp is more like an archipelago instead of a single community so the opinions will vary significantly
16:54:48
beach
Nor any request like the one you just made, i.e. what questions they would like to see.
16:54:59
developernotes
Agreed, I think this will be an interesting way to gather a large number of opinions.
16:56:01
developernotes
beach: my initial thoughts were to base it off the Haskell survey: https://taylor.fausak.me/2019/11/16/haskell-survey-results/
16:57:30
developernotes
I will post a link when the survey is finalized and find a way for publish the results for all to review.

I bought the proceedings of the 1994 acm conference on lisp and functional programming, and a pair of articles describes Talk, an ISLisp-derived lisp made for painless C++ interaction. but i have found it hard hard to search for "talk" "C++" "islisp". All I can find is the ACM's archive of the papers in the proceedings.

Xach i'm highly interested in that, as it relates generally to interaction with a foreign platform/language

a month ago i bought a bunch of books on abebooks that were all under $10 and forgot about many of them until they started arriving.

christian queinnec has a paper on distributed, concurrent computing that refers to the ubiquity of the internet

none of the authors seem to have papers after 1994. seniak has a startup and some mentions in unrelated papers

i found a google groups post that refers to a gz of the free version of ILOG Talk, but it seems pretty down. ftp, baby
20:36:45
alandipert
googling the file name yielded http://ftp.vim.org/pub/ibiblio/devel/lang/lisp/ilog-talk-3.32.bin.x86.tar.gz

Google Scholar has led me down rabbit holes. I tried to get a copy of a document from UC Berkeley that apparently exists only in their stacks, and is not available for interlibrary loan. I guess I could ask them to scan a copy for me.
