First of all, I would like to push a little for Programming Clojure by Stuart Halloway. It’s fantastic if you have prior experience with the Java ecosystem or a LISP, it might be a bit over your head if you don’t have either. Luckily I’m coming from PicoLisp so I’m OK, I just need to get up to speed with the Java.... Read More
The following list is compiled from the replies I got on the LISP reddit and other stuff I’ve found here and there. I suppose the aim of this list is to show that LISP is a language that can be used for web development too. Sometimes I get the impression that LISP has been stereotyped as something that belongs in some university AI lab and not really suited for something as mundane as web development. However as can be seen here, that’s just not true.... Read More
Wow, were do I start. To begin with VizReader is the application in question. It’s a pretty weird thing but I love it. I get a small whiff of the same feeling I had when I was a kid and played Dragon’s Breath on the Amiga. Dragon’s Breath was both a weird and wonderful game at the same time and it makes me proud that I have managed to create something that gives me a little bit of that feeling.... Read More
It seems we’re having some problems with Wikipedia when it comes to creating a entry for PicoLisp there.... Read More
There’s been a lot of discussion on whether Python, Ruby or insert your favorite dynamic language, is a good lisp.... Read More
On many occasions it’s preferable to convert PicoLisp on the client side instead of on the server, here’s an attempt.... Read More
This Saturday I had a small presentation. It wasn’t really well prepared so I’ll try and make up for it here instead.... Read More
I just set out to duplicate the Doctrine for dummies example, but this time for real, with a real OODB system, not some silly ORM :) Thanks goes to Alex for helping me out with the queries.... Read More
The heart of the problem with making jQuery.post work with the PicoLisp server is simple once found (thanks to Alex for helping me find it). Apache seems to use the Content-Length header to determine the length of the argument sent by XMLHttpRequest.send(), the Pico server doesn’t bother with determining the the length. It looks for a newline at the end instead.... Read More
