SISC looks really cool. I've been getting into Scheme lately using Kawa, and the syntax is much cleaner than that of Lisp.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Peter,<br><br>No meetings have taken place as far as I know. The closest thing that I<br>can offer is that I wrote to a few friends, some of whom receive this<br>list, and managed a 2-person meeting last Friday, where I demonstrated a
<br>SISC interpreter running as an Eclipse plugin, used for AST-level Java<br>code generation. I'd be happy to repeat this demo some time.<br><br>This is not exactly pertinent to 'lisp' in the sense that I've been<br>accustomed to see it and perhaps that the name of this list suggests--in
<br>the guise of *CL, in any case either with CL trappings or high awareness<br>of technical differentalia--but more to the lisp language family and<br>importantly its ecology. Perhaps the charter of this list gives the
<br>impression of too narrow a focus? Programmers that I know always have<br>some side project in haskell, ml, or some other. I'd like to hear from<br>someone who has used Haskell for a substantial project, especially one
<br>that interfaces well with others.<br><br>Here's a thing: it's fun to take apart a problem in Scheme--more<br>specifically easy to refine one into essential relationships. I often<br>follow by casting the result into whatever environment instigated it.
<br>The question arises, what is a good way to embed functional code in<br>imperative? Include the interpreter? To use untyped cons structures, or<br>standard 'collection' classes? I have taken a weak path here, with Java
<br>linked lists, occasional clone()ing, and hiding functionally-unsafe code<br>with visibility controls, and I'd be curious to hear other opinions.<br><br>Regards,<br>Jesse Bouwman<br><br>p.s.<br><br>Last Friday's meeting was at 5:30 PM, at a bar at 1150 N. Damen, Chicago
<br>IL 60622, and I don't see a reason not to make it a standing engagement,<br>at least until some other arrangement suggests itself?<br><br><br><br>Peter Hua wrote:<br>> Hello,<br>><br>> After seeing all the recent fun had by lispvan, I decided to join this
