the url is: irc://irc.freenode.org/#lisp
18:36:55

though .org appears to redirect

Someone should write a bot that posts irc://irc.freenode.net/#lisp when someone says "pwd" (with a limit of once every 12 hours so people don't spam it and it only happens to accidents)

pjb
and the irc client would translate cd ../#clschool into a /join :-)

Do any of the various documentation utils let you reference an image file (e.g. diagrams) from within doc strings?
20:51:12
jackdaniel
docstrings are strings. you may create a library which can interpret a special syntax, but for CL it will be a bunch of letters anyway
20:53:23
dim
I think anamorphic is asking specifically about such syntax supporting utilities that would read the docstrings etc
20:53:32
dim
is there one that would support Markdown, btw?
20:53:51
anamorphic
I think Staple does markdown...
20:54:23
dim
https://github.com/Shinmera/staple seems like it does yeah
21:01:00
fisxoj
it's not markdown, but I've been working on https://github.com/fisxoj/coo that works with docstrings that are restructured text
21:01:31
fisxoj
it's not super usable, yet, I just found https://github.com/eudoxia0/docparser and need to incorporate that

does anyone know if second emacs has any plans for an emacs compatibility layer

How do I go down a line in the slime repl? Pressing enter causes the code to be evaluated
21:30:21
jebes
C-j seems to work fine too
22:16:30
jasom
in the terminal C-j won't work IIRC since C-j will be an identical input to return

I'm fighting with string ~basics. Objective is getting regex "[abc]" from list of #\[ '(#\a #\b #\c) #\]
23:00:06
jiby
Best I've got is concatenate
23:00:52
jiby
but (concatenate 'string #\[ char-list #\[) gives a compile error (not sequences
23:01:32
jiby
so I'd need to give it a sequence-of-char? it doesn't like (concatenate 'string '(#\[) char-list '(#\[)) either
23:02:57
LdBeth
jiby: (concatenate 'string "[" char-l "]")
23:04:36
jiby
Right! thanks! In this, "[" is a string/array of length 1?
23:05:02
jiby
Yey, (minor) enlightenment
23:05:09
LdBeth
concatenate will do coerce for you
23:05:39
jiby
from list-of-char to string for my char-list in this case?
23:07:00
LdBeth
Yes. Since both of them are subtype of sequence
23:07:47
jiby
cool! I need to get used to the implicit coerce doing my job for me

what was that program that typeset mathematical equations using boxes and stuff in the terminal?

elderK
Guys, when should I ask a question in #clshcool vs here?
2:18:08
Bike
clschool is for learning the language, lisp is for when you've learned the language but not really
2:18:16
Bike
probably just ask and we'll just go yeah that's more for the other channle

Good morning everyone!

elderK: #clschool is for beginner questions like "how does LOOP work?"
4:40:06
aeth
elderK: Meanwhile a question about e.g. "what web libraries should I use?" would belong here
4:40:17
aeth
because it's of general interest
4:40:58
aeth
there are some borderline topics, of course
4:44:17
aeth
There are also channels for specific topics, e.g. #lispgames so questions aren't just in one of the two
5:02:35
elderK
beach: Is there a place that details the method combination types? CLHS tells me about +, and, progn, etc. But there doesn't seem to be a page that actually describes how these combinations function.
5:03:43
beach
Oh, those are trivial. The effective method is just (<operator> method1 method2 .... methodn)
5:03:53

aeth: I don't think it's possible to learn all of loop. It's huge.

Thanks beach. I was reading that last night but got kind of confused. I'll give it a another shot.
