aeth, White_Flame, ahh, i see =) also, interesting ideas. racket does some way to handle multiple 'languages'

(Alternatively, there may be many considerably better ideas, but we're all stuck thinking in the current trends.)

hmm quicklisp generates a database from a text file, but it also sometimes reads directly from the text file.

Is gitlab.common-lisp.net a standard common lisp repository? I'm trying to pull asdf but it seems to be down.

ah, lparallel is wonderful. I added parallelization to something I had never designed to be parallel in about 30 minutes.

devon: McCLIM is actively being worked on. We hang out in #clim in case you need help, or in case you feel like contributing.

is mcclim really omni-platform (I like the term)? I tried it on windows once because that was what I had running as I stumbled on it, and the demo didn’t work. Was my lisp environment somehow misconfigured (which might very well be the case) or is this a general known issue?

But, as I recall, there is a bounty posted for finishing it in case you need the money.

running on windows is also possible with running Xserver there (not that it's appealing, just saying its possible)
9:14:18
jackdaniel
there is $500 bounty for windows backend, and $400 for fixing beagle (OSX) backend which is somewhat broken

schweers: Speaking of which, these days I never :USE packages other than the COMMON-LISP package. I use explicit package prefixes for the others. It is much more clear where symbols come from that way, and there is less risk that my software will break when those packages are updated.
9:16:47
jackdaniel
hm, in case of CLIM applications you are encouraged to :use CLIM-LISP package :-)

schweers: yes, keyboard layout other than us not working is known issue. someone works on that
9:19:49
jackdaniel
we have some constant contributors (who pay monthly around $280) for project development
9:21:25
jackdaniel
I try to send iteration reports each month (usually its more like 40-50 days between reports)
9:22:10
schweers
so, if I’m particularly interested in seeing something fixed I can add my own money to a bounty?
9:23:09
jackdaniel
or you may contribute to McCLIM project itself (https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/mcclim)
9:23:58
jackdaniel
that model proves to be working just fine, we have a steady progress (albeit some may perceive as slow progress)

I have been thinking of crowdfunding SICL as well, but then, I am reminded that the main problem is not money, but qualified contributors with time on their hands.
