Overview Interlisp-D (and the Medley version of it) were originally developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was a software environment for rapid prototyping, research and Artificial Intelligence, combining the power of the Lisp language and system elements with the now common PARC-born Windows/Icon/Mouse/Pointer graphical user interface. The Medley Interlisp project was started in 2020 by a few of the original developers, focusing on reviving the...| The Medley Interlisp Project

From the previous entry in this series, one of the things of note in discussing the nature of the connections between LISP and (the) lambda calculus was John McCarthy’s concern about recursion and higher-order functions. A couple of excerpts from previous quotes from McCarthy on the subject to set the stage: …And so, the way in which to [be able to handle function passing/higher order functions] was to borrow from Church’s Lambda Calculus, to borrow the lambda definition.

Last week I started playing with my own toy key-value store (see the previous post). At the end I got to a hashtable exposed over the network, using a protocol based on S-Expressions. For the next steps, I have two alternatives, I can work on the low level representation of the data, maybe implement B-Trees, and some storage, or I can go up instead, and see how can I make it distributed, and play with some nice algorithms.| Logos, Thumos & Code
This is a personal pick of the most interesting projects, tools, libraries and articles that popped-up in Common Lisp land in the last two years.Newcomers might not realize how the Common Lisp ecosystem, though stable in many ways, actually evolves, sharpens, tries new solutions, proposes new tools, ships new libraries, revives projects.

I recently wrote about using first-class functions to help make a BF interpreter. This is a follow-up post to describe a nifty solution to a tricky problem that made my program go 2–5× faster and put it about on-par with an interpreter written in pure C. A basic interpreter works by walking down the AST and evaluating nodes recursively: when the interpreter encounters an expression, it dispatches on the type of expression to decide how to perform the evaluation. Here’s the key insight to...| Lambda Land

“Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it..” — Brian W. Kernighan. I’m a sucker for sage advice much as anyone else, and Kernighan is certainly right on money in the epigraph. Alas there comes a time in programmer’s career when you just end up there despite the warning. It could be that you were indeed too clever for your own good, or maybe the cod...| Paraprogramming Dispatches

It is interesting that while I think of myself as a generalist developer the vast portion of my career has been towards embedded and systems programming. I’m firmly a Common Lisp guy at heart but embedded tech landscape is the entrenched realm of C sprinkled with some C++ and nowadays Rust. However I had incredible fortune to work for the last few years on a substantial embedded system project in Common Lisp.

When I wrote about EURISKO a few years before there hardly was an expectation of a follow-up. The system was a dusty legend with some cynical minds arguing whether it existed in the first place. However, Lenat’s death in August last year has unlocked his SAILDART archives account. This has led to a thrilling discovery of both AM and EURISKO sources by WhiteFlame. In a further development, seveno4 has managed to adapt EURISKO to run on Medley Interlisp. While I marveled at the idea of discov...| Paraprogramming Dispatches
Over all these years I don’t think I ever wanted to close all existing SLIME connections when attaching to a remote host.

By the nature of embedded development one spends a lot of time debugging on target devices. SLIME experience for the most part is as smooth as on local host with the exception of cross referencing. Swank backend on target is reporting local paths in xref records which the frontend on your host then tries to open. The canonical workaround from the user manual is using slime-tramp contrib, allowing you to navigate the source tree on remote target over SSH. I however greatly prefer to work on th...| Paraprogramming Dispatches
Deptree is a tool to list and archive dependency snapshots of (ASDF-defined) projects. We at Norphonic use it in the product build pipeline, but it can be useful for integration workflows as well.

A while ago while working on Rust-based Emacs, I was loading a new elisp file and hit a stack overflow. Digging deeper I found the issue in trying to print a cyclic list (where the tail of the list points back to previous element). I knew this was a possibility, and that at some point I would have to handle cycles. So I quickly implemented a version of Floyd’s cycle detection algorithm (visualized here).| coredumped.dev
Although Verbose is one of few logging libraries that work with threaded applications (See Comparison of Common Lisp Logging Libraries), I had some trouble getting it to work in my application. I have a Hunchentoot web application which handles each request in a separate thread that is built as a standalone executable. Getting Verbose to work in Slime was trivial but once I built the standalone, it kept crashing. The Verbose documentation provides all the information needed to make this setup...| Dark Chestnut
Sometimes it may be necessary to execute an external command that takes a long time to complete, long enough that the user needs visual feedback while it is running to show that the process is still alive. UIOP provides fantastic tools for running external commands in a portable manner but it was not obvious to me how to show the external command’s output to the user while it was still busy. I also wanted to execute the external command in a synchronous fashion, i.e. my lisp application mus...| Dark Chestnut
How to process sub-command style command line arguments is a question that arises more and more. Many of the basic option handling libraries can not handle this at all, or they make it very difficult to do so. One of the newer libraries in the option processing field is Adopt by Steve Losh. It was not designed to handle sub-commands but it is in fact very capable to do this without having to jump through too many hoops. In a Reddit thread someone asked if Adopt can handle sub-command processi...| Dark Chestnut
Index of picking libraries blog series It may be tempting at the start of a new project to create the first database tables manually, or write SQL scripts that you run manually, especially when you first have to spend a significant amount of time on sifting through all the migration libraries and then some more to get it working properly. Going through this process did slow me down at the start of the project but I was determined to use a migration tool because hunting inexplicable bugs that ...| Dark Chestnut
Index of picking libraries blog series A big part of a web development framework’s value is that it pre-selects a set of common libraries. If you use the framework as-is you will have a reasonable setup to build on without having to put any thought into it. More comprehensive frameworks express opinions on many more issues in addition to libraries and they often make it difficult to stray from their prescribed path. Lightweight frameworks confine their opinions to fewer topics and usually m...| Dark Chestnut
Index of picking libraries blog series Picking a database for your web application can be surprisingly time consuming. There are a variety of databases of various types available and Quicklisp has an interface library for many of them.

Once you have decided to use a SQL database the three ma...| Dark Chestnut
When you make a standalone application intended as a command line tool you may want integration tests to exercise the application through the normal command line user interface. There are tools that can do this testing on OS executable applications but sometimes it is useful to run these tests as part of the test suite without having to first build a standalone binary. The goal then is to test a function that only interacts via standard input and output. This code demonstrates how it can be d...| Dark Chestnut
