LW: there was also a port to a lua-extension on neovim, https://github.com/monkoose/nvlime , which I found in a old.reddit.com/r/common_lisp thread

Ooh, I need to do that at some point. I mean, squashing is a routine thing before merging, but sometimes it just ramifies a little too far for a coherent commit message.

I think that the most important commit is "Make it work." (but "So many improvements and fixes my god" is a good contender)

Speaking of progress, I just finished overhauling the way relationships are defined. That's what I get for looking into alternative approaches after the fact.

Still no author notification from ELS. I can't say I'm not miffed about that. I'd like to know if I need to make a presentation already.

beach: Yeah, don't know what to call it. You were suggesting a small conference, I was originally thinkin g more in terms of "meetup".

But I guess it needs to be a conference if I want to be able to get people to come here from overseas.

The use of "CON" in English-language meeting-related vocabulary is very unfortunate in French.

What is the minimum number of participants for a Lisp mneet to be considered successful (where successful means "not a waste of time to attend")

The last meaning I heard (starts with c- in English) would fit with the Australian lexicon.

loke[m]: But it is going to be tricky to get people to come, given the distances involved.

loke[m]: Europe is very densely populated with lots of Lispers within a reasonable range. My experience from Australasia is that there are very few Lispers, so you would have to count on long-distance participants.

loke[m]: Yes, heisig for instance. Also Martin Simmons, but he hasn't been to ELS recently anyway.

For all we know there are thousands of lispers in the Jakarta automotive industry where the whole supply chain is run on code ported from old Symbolics boxes.

People with niche travel preferences can take the Transiberian to Vladivostok and a tramp steamer down the coast.

On a serious note, if I still lived in Sydney I'd definitely consider a trip to Singapore for that conference. From Madrid, though, I'd need a really compelling reason. As fun as it was to get chewed on by a flying fox last time, I don't currently have a business to charge it to.
