Anybody got an old copy of "Land of Lisp" that they'd be willing to send me?

And before you ask, online copies just aren't doing it for me, I need the kinesthetic feel of a physical book in my hands, the flipping between dog-eared pages, and marking up the text with an actual pencil to learn effectively.

I can't really even pay postage right now, but I plan to live-toot my unhinged thoughts while I ingest and digest the information if that sort of thing pleases or amuses you.

( #lisp #emacs boost appreciated.)

...and, no I won't subject a library book to the sorts of (ab)use a tome will take when I'm actively ingesting a topic of deep interest.

An unmarked book rarely provides me with enough depth to benefit my learning significantly beyond the rote.

Daniel Kochmański @jackdaniel is revising the manual of McCLIM, starting from the chapters on the development history and getting started.

From this I learned that in 2026 it has been 10 years since he took over maintenance of McCLIM. Thanks to Daniel and all contributors for their work on this great implementation of the Common Lisp Interface Manager GUI toolkit.

A new CLX release: https://github.com/sharplispers/clx/releases/tag/0.7.8

Thanks to @bmansurov for refactoring demos.

This tutorial on building a GUI application in Common Lisp with GTK and SBCL is not new but has just crossed my feeds, so it's new to me.

“(There are many (many (nested)) parentheses: ritual magic, realtime spell-casting, hasn’t been the same since John McCarthy.)”

(Yep, I’m rereading the #LaundryFiles by @cstross as a refresher for #TheRegicideReport)

Anybody know a #lisp or generally #programing or #retro #software friendly mastodon instance?

I think I want to split my account.

🔥 Try #commonlisp 100% in the browser, using JupyterLite, a WASM-powered Jupyter:

JupyterLite: https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite

JSCL is seeing a lot of activity. It has CLOS, complete FORMAT (ported from CMUCL), very decent LOOP support.
