Sorry if the documentation is lacking; you can put anything you want in an attribute. Defattributes is simply a convenience macro that defines validation functions (as well as row …

Non-lispers don't always realize that more parens can actually be a feature :)

LambdaLite creator here. I just wanted to point out, in case it is not clear, that LambdaLite doesn't really introduce a new query language per se. The syntax is just "write any Li…

If they're base-10 floats, they have all the same issues base-2 floats have Nitpick: although base 10 floats have similar issues related to being of limited precision, they are sup…

Wu-Decimal uses exact rationals (they aren't base 10 floats). Division works according to normal Lisp semantics, since the CL ratio type is used for arithmetic. Let's say you divid…

Since we're on the subject of floating-point numbers in Lisp/Scheme: https://wukix.com/lisp-decimals This uses the Lisp ratio type in place of floats, to avoid the usual float issu…

Thanks! I hope there is another BALisp meetup soon. The recent Parallac thing was cool, although it clearly needed more Lisp :)

I am the founder a developer tools startup and I've thought a lot about the future of programming. To be honest, the developer tools market is extremely competitive ("everything mu…

Nitpick: It's not licensing for a language, it's licensing for a specific tool. Common Lisp itself is not proprietary (having a standard) and code can be portable across implementa…

For starters, objecting to the anti-criminality clauses seems paranoid. Granted, if you're a human rights organization under a hostile government, maybe you need to worry about thi…

As a developer of commercial software, this strikes me as a lot of paranoia, although I do agree with one or two points. These types of agreements have to be somewhat broadly writt…

mocl derives from some past academic work, although not ECL. In spite of this, it is very much a new and unique implementation, and I have sunk years of dev time into making it a r…

Comment #7365923
It's true that CL's huge feature set promotes implementation bloat, but that doesn't completely rule out having a compact implementation. In fact, mocl can run with only a few mega…
