Sylwester, is that directed to me or the OP?

As nuntius says, the ANSI Spec is the final say on anything within ANSI Common Lisp. I think it is fair to say that in some sense, there are no key/reserved words in Common Lisp. That is, in terms of syntactic elements, no token in Common Lisp is reserved. Common Lisp, however, has some restrictions...

To be honest, every problem we solved was a two request ordeal: one "/eval" to get 256 values spread over the domain and one "/guess" to submit a guess. You really can't get fewer requests than that. Whenever this failed, it was due to either our search mechanism failing to find ...

Well, we did alright in that we understood the problem and were able to get a working solution well before the end of the weekend. We had a simple (read slow) but working solver pretty early on Saturday morning and perhaps before (there was one team-member that went off and did his own thing). We di...

Note that I get exactly the same behavior on my ECL running on normal X86-64 with a build that has threading support.

The ICFP contest starts in around two weeks and we are building a Common Lisp team again this year. TL;DR let me know if you want to be part of it. For those that don't know, the ICFP Contest ( https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/icfpcontest2013/ ) is a long running competition that poses a ...

The ICFP Contest starts Friday at 12:00 UTC. Whether success or failure our team will be attempting to live code this contest via Google+ Hangouts (and streamed to youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/smithzvk/ ). If you are interested in joining in on the coding, discussing the problem, or just wat...

I honestly don't remember if or how PCL goes over how to load 3rd party libraries, but things have changed since it has been written anyway. We have a new and improved way to install libraries, here is the short form: 1. Download this file: http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp 2. At the lisp rep...

If that error message is correct, which I assume it is, START was either never defined or never imported into your web package. Are you sure that you defined your package as: (defpackage :com.gigamonkeys.web (:use :cl :net.aserve :com.gigamonkeys.html)) If so, it looks as though something failed dur...

Only one week until the contest. We have two people now, it would be great to have two or three more. I posted on the collaborative tools that we will be using here: http://directed-procrastination.blogspot.com/2012/07/adventures-in-collaborative-coding-with.html The team has tried out the setup a f...
