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)))
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.
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
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.
