We sneakily released Arei Guile Scheme IDE 0.9.5 a couple weeks ago. Mostly because there is not much user-visible new functionality, we just keep polishing sharp edges before 1.0 release.
To keep you updated: Yesterday I implemented extensions resolution mechanism, Nikita is cleaning up session handling on Emacs side and a couple more things left to do.
While we are getting ready for 1.0, @lil started to work on Hoot support!
@graywolf Answering your question in Guile's IRC about record introspection: to obtain fields of a record-type there is record-type-fields function.
You can go even further and get a list of fields from record itself.
(record-type-fields (record-type-descriptor (%make-some-record 1 2 3)))
r6rs records introspection have a bit more consistent naming:
(use-modules (rnrs records inspection))
(record-type-fields (record-rtd (%make-record 1 2 3)))
🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll craft a few Emacs Lisp functions to create a custom note taking workflow with Denote, an excellent note taking package for Emacs!
A way of programmatically taking a screenshot on Medley is to pass a window to the Interlisp function BITMAPCOPY. As in this example in which I captured the logo window the pointer was in (returned by WHICHW) and opened it in the bitmap editor (EDITBM):
I just updated my Medley from the Medley Interlisp Revival project (https://interlisp.org/) to get improved CLtL2 compatibility ... and boom, CL (loop)! Now to work through some CL code I've written to see if I can get it into the environment and running. #lisp#retrocomputing
Well the results for the #lispgamejam are out. This time I did 30th out of 48; or 37.5%. That's an improvement over last year's 25/30 (17%), but it's not as much as I'd hoped.
I achieved good looks (12/48) and decent entertainment (23/48), but our creativity was quite low (33/48). I originally wanted to add vehicle-mounted weapons and power-ups. But they were cut due to running out of time. Looking at other top ranking games, I think I was on the right track but probably needed to add some kind of twist on the driving game to achieve a higher ranking.
Maybe I should partner up with someone for the next Jam.
Can anyone recommend some good programming blogs (in the realm of lisps, emacs, guix, technical deep dives) that offer RSS feeds? I've already got https://wingolog.org/ from @wingo which is pretty much the exact genre of blog I'm looking for. https://ianthehenry.com/posts/ from @ianthehenry is also a good one (although the RSS feed doesn't seem to work with GFeeds :).
I just think it would be cute to have a selection of RSS feeds to browse through :)
I built a GUI for Insphex, my hex dump tool for Medley. This Common Lisp program calls Interlisp's window and menu facilities to send the output to a window with a command toolbar.

Can people say nouns or noun phrases that could be fun drawing prompts for our game?
