Not only that, but an hour after your post, someone (burma-shave) had updated the LFE formula for v1.0 of LFE: * https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/f95c192d43d9a56bda...

Having used early versions of Mathematica in university, I'm actually a huge fan of Maxima (a fork of Macsyma, the latter having been the principle inspiration behind Mathematica).…

"Macro handling as god intended." I had to laugh :-) That reads like it's out of the Moonual ...

I have the LISP-STAT book by Luke Tierney on my desk right now. Love it :-)

Agreed. Well, with the date, anyway ;-) (though I am an SBCL user) Somewhere around 2000 we saw the end of AI winter. This most likely owes something to the fairly impressive Lisp …

It's a work in progress, but this might be useful: * http://lfex.github.io/hyperpolyglot/

Oh, wow -- that's a great tidbit! I hadn't heard that before, Robert (one for the LFE Lore files ...)

So a couple of comments here :-) Robert is actually an old-school Lisper (and a hard-core one, too). LFE has been inspired not only by CL but also Maclisp. The point being that, ye…

@technomancy, Hey man! Good to see you here ... but not even a little love for a Lisp-2? ;-) We've chatted about this before, and I guess I just got used to (funcall ...) in CL. Th…

That's very cool :-) I think rvirding would approve ;-) Did you ever check out LFE afterwards. to compare your approach with Robert's?

Frank's been doing all his latest work on the Raspberry Pi, actually. In fact, that's what he tested the new LFE support on :-)

Frank's also going to be giving a talk at Erlang Factory SF this year -- but this time on the Nerves Project itself :-)

If you're going to be handling large amounts of data, then Disco is what you'd want to use, not this. However, if you're spending your day in an LFE REPL and want to be able to par…

Bingo.

The points made below about Disco a great. Similar confusion came up on Twitter with regard to CloudI. As a result of that, I updated the README with clarification on what LFE py i…

Disco has gone beyond MR with pipelines, too. This allows for more generalized workflows. Great stuff.

Nice that you mention Pandas ... it's on the list for being supported by lsci (which in turn will be using LFE py). As for Hy: LFE py comes with custom ErlPort encoders/decoders, a…

I've update the blog post with these, but here they are in this context as well: * A more detailed follow-up to that post is here: http://blog.lfe.io/tutorials/2014/12/03/1828-erlp…

Yeah, the quick start is just intended to get folks going. The "Docs" page definitely has a lot more useful stuff there!
