Re: Why we cannot do this now?

I just wanted to raise my hand as a developer who rarely uses a long-lived REPL and is glad that startup time is a priority. (I've been doing Lisp for decades and have done lots of the long-lived REPL style of development, so I know the tradeoffs involved.) John On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 1:51 PM,

ANN: turboshrimp 2.0.2, for control of Parrot AR.Drone

I've released a new version of turboshrimp, my library to control the Parrot AR.Drone. https://github.com/wiseman/turboshrimp Version 2.0.2 includes the following: - A more consistent API. E.g., instead of (drone/command drone :animate :flip-left) to make the drone do a flip in mid-air, yo

Re: Using :refer 'sparingly'

There's a close parallel in Python, where the same issue comes up of typically using several modules or packages in a source file and the language offers a way to import the functions and classes of those modules in such a way that they can be used without any syntactic marker of their origin. For

Re: [OT?] Best DB/architecture for n-gram corpus?

One thing you can do is index 1, 2, 3...n-grams and use a simple & fast key-value store (like leveldb etc.) e.g., you could have entries like "aunt rhodie" -> song-9, song-44 "woman" -> song-12, song-65, song-96 That's basically how I made the Metafilter N-gram Viewer

Re: Architectural doubts

One trick I've used to speed up use of gloss is to use a lazy map so I only actually parse a piece of data if I need to. In my particular application this was an easy optimization because I was parsing a tagged data format, and I could do minimal parsing just to determine the tag of the next chunk

Hi, JPH. I'm interested in clojure + drones too. I'll try to describe the relevant parts of the current landscape as I see it. Unless you're writing your own firmware, at the moment most higher level drone programming is done with libraries that communicate with a remote drone, over a comms link

Interestingly, it looks like early versions of clojure.pprint had *print-circle* to handle printing of cyclic data structures: http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_contrib/clojure.contrib.pprint/*print-circle* Maybe something along the lines of Common Lisp's reference syntax was considered and rejected?

In the olden lisp days, reduce was often preferred to apply because apply could hit limits on the number of arguments that could be passed to a function. Is that a potential issue with clojure? Thanks, John On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 12:06 PM, Vincent wrote: > On Wednesday, February 12, 2014 2:
