From tsiivola at cc.hut.fi Mon Mar 22 20:29:57 2004 From: tsiivola at cc.hut.fi (Nikodemus Siivola) Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 22:29:57 +0200 (EET) Subject: [lispfaq-devel] FAQ comments Message-ID: Some of the following are more along the lines of QYSA, but I hope that that doesn't matter overly. Random comments from the first reading: 1.2: discussion, not disscussion 1.4: Might be worthwhile to give /emphasis/ to the word predates, since it seems a relatively common misconception that CL is an older dialect with obsolete cruft. 2.1: ECL is afaik the current name -- might be good to note that the sf project name "ecls" is both a historical artifact and due to ecl being taken on sf. Poplog: is there anything happening there? If not, maybe it should not be listed. SBCL: "SBCL runs on many Unix and Unix-like systems." 2.4: Probably woth mentioning common-lisp.net. 3: Add "undefined behaviour". 4.1: Just a pet peeve of mine: when showing what "Hello World" looks like there is little point in using format... (write-line "Hello, World!") 4.5: Mention cl-ppcre. 4.8: Probably good to mention that doing the "local modification" to a function in the COMMON-LISP package is undefined behaviour. 5.1: Maybe something to the effect: "However, the problem here is actully not using a paren-aware editor. Interaction with the REPL is usually best accomplished from the comforts of an editor that integrates with the list. See XXX."
