I should have thought of that when I lived in Vietnam, but maybe that would have been tacky.

I wonder why Bike's text insists on thinking that MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA is problematic despite my paper showing that it isn't.

For example, Bike wonders what happens when a user shadows MAKE-METHOD or CALL-METHOD. But both symbols are defined in the CL package, so shadowing them is simply not allowed.

I guess I must not have read this post since it seemed to be addressed to you specifically.

It is a shame that the rationale for some of the more arcane design choices of the MOP was never clearly documented. That would have saved a lot of discussion.

Well, I've been better, but fine enough. Going to start writing the final part of MIR-to-LIR. How are you?

I survived the end of the semester (setting up and grading exams, lots of planning, ...). Now things are starting to look better.

Which, on the one hand, is a shame - I really enjoy teaching. But on the other hand this gives me time to finish my PhD thesis.

I'm looking forward to the moment when all these new, shiny SICL tools are coming together.

beach: I submitted this grant proposal a few months ago. If that passes, I'll have two more years of funding for working on Lisp, machine learning, and HPC.

And I have this urge to create a workable SICL image, and to explore some ideas with it :)

I will tell you immediately. But the DFG's review process takes time. It still might be a few months before I hear back from them.
