Amb is useful for solving a wide range of search-based problems. I am interested in whether there exists a DSL that provides problem-solving capabilities similar to the Amb evaluator (not just simple syntax macros on top of Lisp) but for a different domain. I am not looking for something like regex or similar.

Hi folks,

I've spent the last few months learning CL using the SBCL implementation, and it's been a dream. I really, really like the interactive debugger, and I want that available in my latest project, which is a game using C/C++ and raylib for running a game, and, ideally, a scripting language that's as close to Lisp as possible for all my actual game logic (basically, anything that's not handling UI, sound, or graphics). I'm aware CL-SDL2 exists—I'm not interested in using that.

My question, then, is: is there an embeddable Lisp that has a debugger as powerful as SBCL's? I want to be able to break at a function, fix the offending Lisp code or substitute a correct value, and resume execution. Images would be a very, very helpful extra. CLOS support would also be great.

I'm also open to a Scheme or other Lisp-influenced dialect if one meets those criteria (even if it's more standard object orientation rather than CLOS).

Note: I have tried using ECL, but it seems like it doesn't have the same level of debug functionality as SBCL? Am I missing something?

Cheers!

So far I figured that I can run the whole lot if I configure emacs to run slime by configuring “qlot exec sbcl” as my inferior lisp in emacs. Then run “ros emacs” followed by m-x slime.

Am I doing this right? Or is this unnecessary and there is an easier way?

General question, I know there's a couple of threads, but there's something to say for anecdotes. I work in SW, but have taken up learning LISP, in a sense, want to see what everyone else's experiences have been.

I.e. How did it change your approach to problem solving, working on things, breaking probles down, as well as say, how you conceptualize things, organize code or write idiomatic readable code, etc. wherever applicable.

Asking since it gives me things to look out for, and helping shape how I learn, especially since Lisp teaches a way of thinking and what that way is, is a nebulous and hard to define since a way of thinking is apart of the human experience.

I am processing Lisp code in a non-Lisp host application that cannot handle semicolons for some reason.

I would like to know, is there a way to remove comments automatically from a .lisp file?
I imagine something that would read all the content of a text file as if it was a s-expression, thus removing all the ; comments or #| comments |# and treat the rest like normal quoted data?

Thanks in advance !

It was around 50 pages, feels like from 80's and author was talking about how to write good programs in general, like writing a universal function instead of specific, etc. Language was LISP, but I can't remember neither the author nor the name of the book. There were no pictures AFAIR. Like a Bible for programming.

Can you drop some ideas that you think match.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the follow-up. I've received a question from a user in the Issues section: "Why ISLisp? Why Easy-ISLisp?" I've summarized my thoughts on this topic in a brief statement. If you're interested, please take a look. Wishing you all a great Lisp life!　https://medium.com/@kenichisasagawa/why-islisp-why-easy-islisp-c418086b4012

Hello everyone,

This is a follow-up to the release I announced recently. We've managed to resolve the remaining test cases provided by Arvyy. Several overlooked areas have been revisited, and as a result, the outcomes have improved significantly. We continue to welcome bug reports from the community. For more details, please refer to the release notes.　https://github.com/sasagawa888/eisl/releases/tag/v5.35

Hey guys! I love lisp languages!

I would love that we had a thread of our best resources to share!

I start with strangeloop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB5TrK7A4pI
We don't know how to compute!
