did you know that Common Lisp powers grammarly? vseloved worked on it with https://github.com/vseloved/cl-nlp

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/engineering/running-lisp-in-production/ is a famous blogpost by vseloved

Xach: (setf *handle-warn-on-redefinition* nil)

on Lispworks, this allows (defun :foo () 42) (:foo)

I'd have hoped for an (expt 1 *) at least

cer0: Are you new here? I don't recognize your nick.
4:25:44
cer0
beach: yeah, kinda new to the channel and to the land lisp 🤯️
4:26:25

So is the plan to learn Common Lisp?
4:27:46
cer0
Thanks, actually, i'm about to finish reading the little schemer (:
4:28:08
beach
Oh! This is not the right channel then, I am sorry to say.
4:28:59
cer0
yeah ): ik, i'm starting with land of lisp, but my progress it's a little bit slow with that one.

really interesting book tho

For people who have programmed before, we also recommend PCL.
4:29:38
beach
minion: Please tell cer0 about PCL.
4:29:40

cer0: look at PCL: pcl-book: "Practical Common Lisp", an introduction to Common Lisp by Peter Seibel, available at http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and in dead-tree form from Apress (as of 11 April 2005).

do you use cl at work or somethig?
4:31:13
cer0
cool, what for? if you donn't mind sharing
4:31:50
beach
I do research in programming-language implementation, and Common Lisp is both my target and my tool.
4:32:27
beach
minion: Please tell cer0 about SICL.
4:32:27
minion
cer0: SICL: SICL is a (perhaps futile) attempt to re-implement Common Lisp from scratch, hopefully using improved programming and bootstrapping techniques. See https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL

beach: oh, so is this what you're working on? :o
4:35:54
beach
Yes, among other things.
4:42:17
cer0
beach: that's cool, really cool. sorry i didn't recognized you, you seem to be really important among the lisp community ( :
4:42:42
beach
Thanks I don't think of myself that way, but I suppose some people do.
4:44:46
cer0
well, writing a re-implementation of cl must not be a easy task, and seems a lot of people found it useful
4:45:51
beach
Sure. There is no great point in doing only easy stuff. Not for a researcher anyway.
4:46:22
cer0
I barely wrote a lisp once, ahah, like, the last year i tried, but, my C skills are so bad. I was following this... buildyourownlisp.com
4:46:45
cer0
how did you ended up doing research?
