I’ve mentioned Jean-Philippe Paradis’ Common Lisp Tip Tweets before. He’s reorganized the site a bit and categorized the tweets so that it’s easier to find what you’re looking for. If you don’t follow him on Twitter, it’s worth stopping by his site every once in a while to check out the new tips.
My favorite new tip since my last visit:
CL tip: Indentation-saving trick: (multiple-value-bind (a1 a2 b c1 c2 c3) (multiple-value-call #'values (values 1 2) 3 (values 4 5 6)) ...)
Hello,
Just found this “redux” by chance via google. I had no idea! (When I saw some more visits from irreal.org in Google Analytics I thought that was coming from the first post…)
By the way, the last update on September 10th was “just” the addition of the new tweets (a manual sync) with no reorganisation. On September 12th I deleted some duplicates but I’m not sure this counts as a “reorganisation”, though it does improve the quality and user experience (seeing that there are X tweets and then finding out there are a bunch of duplicates is a bit like “bait-and-switch”).
I do plan on making an actual reorganisation soon:
* In particular, I’m thinking of splitting the “CL rants and future dialect ideas” into 2 pages, “CL rants” and “future dialect ideas”. I initially put them together because they’re philosophically similar (each rant is an implicit suggestion for future dialects), but I recognize some might be interested in “future dialect ideas” (“positive”) but not in “rants” (“negative”).
* I also have some subsections in “rants and future dialect ideas” that are actually a bit more like tips, so I should move those over to their rightful place.
* I also want to make some more specific sub-categories/groupings, for example grouping lambda-list-related future dialect ideas together because I have a lot of those and it’s clearly a “theme”.
Looking forward to delighting you more. Thanks for the mentions!
MASSIVE update to my categorised CL tweets collection, today.
It was a lot of work (as for now I do things by hand), but it was worth it!
