Juho Snellman just announced that SBCL 1.0.18 has been released. From the announcement: Source is available in SourceForge CVS and on the SourceForge File Releases page. changes in sbcl-1.0.18 relative to 1.0.17: * minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING now by default profiles only the c...

Okay, something non-Lisp for you all... Just took my car in last week for service. The driver's-side door lock would lock but not unlock. Very annoying, as it forced me to keep climbing into the driver's seat through the passenger's-side door every time I left work to drive home. In short, I had to ...

Hmmm... doesn't sound good. I might post that question to the sbcl-developers list and see what they have to say.

For me, the main reason for using an existing runtime (e.g., the JVM or .NET) is to avoid reimplementing a runtime ;-) It's nice to know that your garbage collector is tuned and well-tested, for example. I agree with that as long as the rest of the system isn't dog-slow because you're having to box...

vegard, thanks for the input. I'll see what I can do on the syntax highlighting. Not sure if phpBB already has such a thing or not, but it's designed to be modular, so I'm sure something could be added if it doesn't exist already. As for each reply having a subject, not sure why the forum does that,...

Wouldn't it be more helpful to have the topics arranged by level of expertise (beginner, intermidiate &c) or by area of usage (sripting, web application &c), than by implementation. Not sure if this forum supports it, but perhaps it would be useful with a multi-paradigm taxonomy (tags?). Ju...

I think you can use mod_lisp with lighttpd too. See also: http://objectmix.com/lisp/256388-mod_lisp-over-cgi.html http://xach.livejournal.com/144475.html Hmm... I might investigate whether mod_lisp works for lighttpd. It boggles my mind, however, that the rest of the world is moving to FastCGI for ...

Is there a way to turn PaX off selectively? I remember when Feodra/RHEL first added some of the memory randomization features standard, there were some issues with SBCL. Juho worked with Arjan at Red Hat to work out something that would allow SBCL to work. I don't remember exactly what did the trick...

Perhaps Lisp in Small Pieces will help? :) I haven't read it, and I think it's more about Scheme than lisp, but I thought it was worth a mention. Lisp in Small Pieces is a great resource if you're interested in implementing Lisp, and it will help even if you're interested in Lisps other than Scheme...

On Lisp is missing from the list ;) Ack! You're right. I typically don't think of it because I don't have and can't get a printed copy of it (still waiting for Paul to get something over to Apress to republish it, I guess... :roll: ). Anyway, yep, that's a serious omission. The polling module only ...
