Does anyone know why I am getting "Failed to find the TRUENAME of /tmp/packages.lisp" when doing (asdf:load-system)?

you're loading a system in /tmp that includes a packages.lisp but there is no such file?
19:56:40

i mean, kind of anything? what's in tmp, what system you're loading, what the definition of that system is, where asdf is looking for the system, what you are trying to do overall, etc

Bike: I shouldn't be doing anything out of the ordinary. I have a .asd file in a directory with the other components and I'm trying to load it using load-system from the Slime repl. The tmp folder doesn't have anything interesting

thuna`: you probably compiled asdf:defsystem with C-c C-c, temporary file got placed in /tmp/ and the base path were set invalid

I don't know how people write java. I thought I'd take a look at the code of Languagetool that mfiano mentioned. My eyes are confused.

Guest74: only briefly, so I don't get slapped with the off-topic parenthesis, I'll say that for most of these very ritualistic languages, tooling probably plays a major role; it's why "the IDE" is so important there

I saw the `<slot>-of` convention for accessors on Cliki yesterday, and was thinking of using it...any reason not to?

There was a lengthy discussion about this yesterday in #clschool that I really don't want to repeat, but the short answer is, don't. Always %-prefix your slot names, and never export %-prefixed symbols.

I've noticed the %slot convention, but don't understand the reason for it. Is it to act as a warning sign for code depending on implementation details?

I hadn't thought of %-prefixing my slot names. That might solve some name clash issues for me.

but people who like to follow opinionated style pronouncements probably won't be using lisp in the first place
