Libraries! I just finished modifying a slightly aged bit of code in the CMU AI repository to make Gambol (basic prolog-like functionality). Very cool. Lisp needs some more Prolog-like libraries. I started learning a bit of Prolog the other day, and while I really couldn't see writing a large progra...

No, not yet. It's still a work in process and nowhere near ready for release.

I have been working on a Linux shell written in Common Lisp. It's designed to be extended in interesting ways and Lisp provides the flexibility to do that easily.

The one place where ANSI Common Lisp lacks versus Practical Common Lisp is with respect to CLOS. PG is not a fan of CLOS and doesn't really cover it. In contrast, Peter Siebel uses is heavily in PCL. That's one reason I recommend both to people. You'll definitely learn something from each.

You might add "Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computing" by David Touretzky, which is particularly good for beginners. However, "Practical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel is what we give new hires at ITA Software when they arrive and don't know Common Lisp yet. I voted for...

Excellent! I was just about to put together the same thing the other day.

Anybody used tinyscheme? I was thinking about using it as an embedded language but have been following ECL instead and am pleased with that. How is ECL working out for you? I had been thinking about using that for one of my projects. It seems to have one of the lowest footprints of all the CL imple...

My thanks to you as well; it's about time. Of course, there's something really sad that the software the forum is running on is PHP and not CL. I'm hopeful that that will become possible someday and I think that sites like this (and people like Dave Roberts) are what will make that so! Yea, it's ju...

I might post that question to the sbcl-developers list and see what they have to say. Awesome, thanks. Hi dan. I suspect findinglisp meant that you should post to the sbcl-developers list. findinglisp, if that's not what you meant and you are really going to post on dan's behalf, please correct me ...

I'd have to go look on the paperwork. All I remember was it was a $45 part that cost ~$450 to install.
