7:41:12 nvaxplus about a decade ago I'd say I remember seeing an interesting demo of a rich CLI-like interface built in (Mc)CLIM. I can't seem to find it now, does anyone know what i'm referring to? As I recall, you could do stuff like ls a directory and it would print the names of the files but also like, little icons indicating file types and stuff like that

7:42:05 muurkha nice

7:44:11 nvaxplus Ahh! I found it. It's the Lisp Listener

8:04:27 muurkha but not the one in Genera?

8:05:17 jackdaniel McCLIM has an application bundled that is called clim-listener - it was authored by Andy Hafner

8:06:28 muurkha maybe that's the one nvaxplus means

8:25:43 nvaxplus muurkha, yes exactly that's the one I'm thinking of

8:25:47 nvaxplus not the Genera one

8:26:06 nvaxplus but it seems like it's modeled on the Genera one? the commands seem to have a similar syntax

9:30:53 jackdaniel genera listener was a CLIM application too

9:31:11 jackdaniel both are a visual repls with commands and presentations

13:00:21 pl CLIM heavily took from Dynamic Windows and ultimately was the "future-proof" toolking on Genera
