Alright, today I must get all the ready-to-go zine pages into the #lisp #zine synthesizer ^
(please boost that example ; it has instructions and a git template for 'raw text' article submissions (like html <pre> ?) which I am still accepting either for issue 0 IN THREE DAYS or issue 1 IN TEN DAYS).

I have just specced a lisp game in my mind. Should be easy enough for me to write.
The game is MathSlap, invented by @Carl to be played with a deck of playing cards with no royals. (A-10)
Two numbers are placed face up. If you can make an equation from these numbers using any math symbols but no more numbers you slap the table. Then you say your equation and it's evaluated for correctness. If no one can make an equation another card is dealt.
Hey every #lispyGopherClimate #new #lisp #zine #author !
I made an example for people who just want to do raw text file submissions. I also show the zine synthesizing out of component projects, including in different gits (well, different #commonLisp #asdf projects). There are pictures and fancy magazine layouts as mentioned, but this is for the single raw text file in a git crowd.

These are two opposite ends - you just make a text file, and the zine asdf + common lisp hoovers up the class / application frame. A non-wizard user submits a text file for the zine. It has to be a li...screwtape (itch.io)
In LOOPS, classes, class variables, and instance variables can have property lists of name/value pairs along with a value. It's useful for documentation, units, or other metadata. For example, this is the declaration of an instance variable "mass":
(mass 2.0 unit 'kg doc "Mass of a body")
unit, doc are property names followed by values.
LOOPS (Lisp Object-Oriented Programming System) is the object extension of Interlisp.

Scheme (lisp-1) absolutely does not care if you name things in a way that shadows an "official" name, because names are namespaced, not just a dirty hack attacked to a symbol as in Common Lisp (lisp-2).

"I always worked with programming languages because it seemed me that until you could understand those, you really couldn't understand computers. Understanding them doesn't really mean only being able to use them. A lot of people can use them without understanding them." -- Christopher Strachey, quoted in Anatomy of #Lisp
Of course, now we also have machines that use them without understanding them.
Not bad for a few hours of hacking.

The Interlisp environment has no file picker dialog. Applications provide a text entry field to type a file name with optional path, as the TEdit WYSIWYG editor here which prompts for a file to open (GET).

What do you know, my swiss-like table for dispatch is marginally faster without PIC/POLY quick lookup even for monomorphic call profile.
My hypothesis is that I've optimized it well enough against memory pressure, so I've hit a new frontier - instruction cache pressure.
Needless, to say, I was shocked and benchmarked it 2x on two different computers (4x), the results check out.
What I've ended up doing in a slight update is:
(define-contribution-command (com-mdh-input :name T :keystroke (#\i :control))
((text '((sequence string) :separator #\space)) )
(mdh-input *mdh* (format NIL "~{~A~^ ~}" text))
)
Which still smashes all space sequences into 1 space, but at least it works. I see (grepping thru McClim source) no way to just get "string to EOL"
I can also (accept …) to force an interaction, same situation.

I have a project for it, but I can't submit it, it only lists other projects.

@screwlisp I do have my zine now accepting inputs & printing, so I'm making progress.
This is a little weird, is there a "line string" in McCLIM I don't know about?

You know, this was probably the most important #lispyGopherClimate of recent times and has relatively few archive views toobnix.org/w/1z43HJ2YboZUuE2U… <15 minutes bonus materials> with Kent's document release beginning (and since, continuing).
In particular we can see his development of #lisp style between his fortran compiler for a thesis he ended up not doing and his CREF program for the human #cognition research lab.

My new dispatch table implementation is very fast (improves accessor lookup by 20%). And that's before a few more optimizations I plan for it. I'm unreasonably excited, especially that I'm grinding my teeth on this for some time already.
The attached screenshot looks a bit worse than the one presented last week (where ECL gained slight edge over SBCL), because I've disabled MRU lookup to see how much better is a pure table lookup.
On Medley Interlisp, if you highlight a menu item without releasing the mouse button an explanation of what the item does, if available, will be printed in the Prompt Window (the black one). This is conceptually similar to tooltips on modern systems.

Oh my fucking Cthulhu I hate Lisp packages, everyone who ever perpetrated this shit-ass "NO SYMBOL FUCKYOU:ASSHOLE FOUND" naming system should be lowered into a woodchipper toes-first at 1cm per hour. Livestreamed.
I have the zine sorta working, except I can't ever refer to any data in it, because I can't look the frame back up, it's always in the wrong package.
I really love Scheme. (import foo) ; now you can use foo's stuff.
(no, I'll work it out, just venting.)

- square dancing and lisp
- lambdamoo as a lisp cultural artifact
- Making a submission in interlisp medley
- making a(n ANSI CL + clim 2 spec) submission at all, many versions
- lots of loosely lispy art. Basically if it has the lisp to submit it is sufficiently lispy.

These are the screens of two Medley @interlisp instances connected to a Xerox XNS local network emulated via Dodo Services, all running on my Linux box.
A documentation browser is open on the first instance. The second instance is running MONITOR, a remote screen monitoring tool connected to the first instance, and shows what's on the screen of that machine. Think of the tool as a grandfather of a VNC client, developed in the 1980s.

The full source of MONITOR, client and server, is 180 lines of Interlisp code.

I'm pleased to announce that I managed to get the draft Common Lisp Specification translated from TeX to an s-expression based document format. I started this project in 2015 and finally finished it this year (maybe a bit late for it to be relevant).
The HTML proof-of-concept is at metaspec.dev/ and is probably the most complete rendering of the spec to date. It contains the acknowledgements, the appendix, errata, and preserves editorial TeX comments in the margins. It uses a patching system against sdoc to make auditable corrections and MathML to render the TeX mathy bits.
The code that generates it, and a copy of the metaspec.sdoc file can be found at codeberg.org/dlowe/metaspectre
