After reading this thread, my brain is now convinced that copilots are actually some sort of small South American mammals. I think I'll stick to that definition; I don't want to lose my mental image of the daft-looking…
Describing Coalton as a CL add-on or even as a DSL has always seemed wrong to me. It's of course very tightly integrated with the Common Lisp runtime but it's also very different as an actual language. And I mean that…
Nice, pretty much what I had in mind. I think there could be some interesting potential there tooling wise. Combining a highly dynamic interactive environment with a good statically typed language sounds fascinating to…
Wouldn't that be something that the tooling could deal with easily? I don't know if there is anything like that yet, but the last time I took a quick look at Coalton it seemed like some basic SLIME and ASDF etc support…
SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE is also pretty metal function name. Goes nicely with the shout-case too.
Good points. I don't think pairs are a code smell when used reasonably in situations where a pair of two values makes sense, like in your make-hash example. Ideally though I'd like to have a real, distinct (immutable)…
I agree that there is maybe too much potential for confusion with that, but is the dot operator (or read syntax?) actually used that much these days? Personally I have mostly sometimes used it with Emacs Lisp, but in…
I'm not too fond of adding extra syntax or infix operators to Lisps but I have been thinking lately if maybe some limited form of infix macros could be useful, mainly in binding forms and such. E.g anaphoric ifs were a…
>The spaghetti code was astounding, and I remember squeezing line numbers between existing code-- adding a "31 GOTO 40" so I could squeeze a "room" into lines 32-39. I spent too many nights trying to implement complex…
I could see LLMs being useful as just an UI layer on top of traditional interactive fiction engines? Having a voice-operated IF assistant/narrator paired with tools for note taking and such could offer an accessible…
Although I'm a recovering sexp addict I must confess that I fail to see what makes the cons cell so important to those purer in their faith? To me the homoiconity of Lisp is mainly about code-as-data, the exact nature…
Years ago when I was a bit obsessed about the Holy Grail of a living & breathing CRPG world the approach that seemed most promising to me then was having an expert system style AI module running on top of the complex…
Interestingly you can also (of course) ask them to complete for System role prompts. Most models I have tried this with seem to have a bit of an confused idea about the exact style of those and the replies are often a…
