well, "vector animation" can mean a million different things, from moving line graphs to flash-style cartoons

I was imagining displaying a vector of objects as it changes, like when you want to illustrate a sorting algorithm.

but in any case, if you're drawing in svg, then I guess you need to link to a SVG rendering library

I don't think much native CL code has been written for that yet, but there's a lot of ffi libraries out there

There is a page in the Common Lisp HyperSpec that explains the rules for how to interpret the expressions in a body, i.e., what expressions are considered to be declarations, documentation strings, and body forms. Does anyone remember where that page is to be found?

A daily reminder that the Lisp Guild exists and currently has four free tasks for volunteers (maybe you!) to pick up. If you want some working experience with real-life Lisp on well-defined tasks to be done, then https://github.com/Lisp-Guild/lisp-todo/projects/1 <- click here and grab one. If you want to post new tasks so you get them done and others get experience - you're free to join up as well.

phoe: Actually, the Guild is a good TODO list, even if the same person who defined the task ultimately also ends up doing it.

i never use goto with state machines, but i guess that can be argued as personal preferences

varjag: I'd like to see you implement section 2.2.1.1 of https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2631.txt without using gotos or losing your mind.

If you use Hoare's assertions, then you can use goto easily: just compute the right assertition at the jump points.

I used goto and was done with it. For me, there was absolutely no reason against using goto in this case.

apparently McCarthy also wrote a "considered harmful" article.. which is an amusing read

attila_lendvai: did dwim.hu have trouble earlier? i had trouble fetching from it about 4 hours ago, but things are better now

Xach: the lisp web service was not running for some reason. I just restarted it. thanks for the heads up!

hi in slime, is it possible to find the source file of a function (within the context of a asdf library)? or do we lose the src when asdf loads compiled files?
15:59:17
beach
francogrex: I would think it depends on whether your implementation saved the source position in the fasl file.

PuercoPop: what I *can't* update is the github settings, so I can't put the manual in github pages (since that would require admin rights to the github repository)

emaczen: if you mean "cached downloaded source code" then that's in QUICKLISP-INSTALL-DIR/dists/quicklisp/softare (i.e. ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software by default)

jasom: Thanks, I keep having issues with compiling a parenscript file in the source for some reason...

Getting a weird warning from SBCL. Details here: http://paste.lisp.org/display/345140

It's like it's looking at the code before macro expansion and complaining about it even though the macro is going to totally transform it.
