I put my scraping library up on ultralisp. I just wanted to see how hard/easy it was. (It was shockingly easy. I didn't even have to prove I was the owner of ggxx/scraper. I just had to make an account and give them a URL to my project.)

If you're setup to use ultralisp, you should be able to type this into the REPL.

(ql:quickload :scraper)

lisp is the reigning champ of "i'll get around to it someday"

As a CL library author, do you distribute your libraries on:
- quicklisp
- ultralisp
- both
- neither
?

>>108562360
For some reason I thought ultralisp automatically pulled in things in quicklisp too, so if you distribute on quicklisp then it's also on ultralisp without having to do anything. Is that actually the case? I only use quicklisp + cloning random projects locally when I need updates or something newer than 6 months (thanks xach)

>For some reason I thought ultralisp automatically pulled in things in quicklisp too
I don't know if that's true or not, but I have wondered to what degree they overlap. There's probably something one could type into the REPL to figure this out, but I'm not familiar enough with the ql and ql-dist APIs.

Whata bunch of bullshit. I get my lisp library functions by C-c then M-y or S-Ins

Surely there has to be more use of Lisp in the future, right? Lisp fans have to become seniors and start making the choice to use Lisp eventually. Right? Right?

In eshell, I found a new way to display JSON.

# instead of
jq . data.json

# do
json-read-file data.json

# make it an alias
alias jrf "json-read-file \$@*"

# and use it
jrf data.json

It'd be cool if I could pipe the sexp into another command as a sexp instead of a string, but I don't know how to do that.

>>108562360
One problem with quicklisp is that the releases are manual and you might get one or two releases per year.

Ultralisp can release multiple times daily if it notices changes to any git repos it's tracking.

>>108565352
QL releases used to be more at the pace of about once per month. That was a nice sweet spot.

I have to work bros.
being a senior engineer is such a fucking chore, I just want to design and implement cool shit, not do team management and sprint planning.

To make sure you're up to date, it's good to do this periodically.

Still fukcing around with completion, I changed to 31.1 to experiment with elisp scope accurate completions via elisp-scope.el (from emacs 31.1): https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs-lisp/elisp-scope.el

Had to hack together a an analyzer for defstruct so It could identify where completions where valid, and I manually defined docstrings for it just to test, but it kinda works.

I don't see an 0.2 tag yet. Does anyone know what they're blocked on?

>>108565794
I've been following it too, the main changes, or most of what was talked about in the article, have already been applied to the master branch, it's mostly bugfixing right now that's why there's no 0.2 tag yet. But like I said, it's already there just not tagged.

He's also taken on some additional work for a non-customizable coalton specific IDE, the idea behind it is to have an ide that requires no additional setup for programming in Coalton and CL, you just install it and be done with it, to decrease onboarding time for newcomers and people that want to try it.

>>108562360
just put it on github and users can install it themselves

>>108565962
I've no idea how to use local cloned repo CL libraries. Any tips?

>>108566092
in sbcl you just setup the necessary variable that points to the cloned CL library
as simple as that

>>108566153
I'm retarded, mind giving an example?
I'm also using SBCL.

>>108566092
Just setup quicklisp, then git-clone whatever doesn't quickload into ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ and you can quickload them like anything else, add them to asd dependencies, and so on. Works for you own projects too.

Man he really got burned by fset

>>108566092
This is actually really easy. It's just a matter of creating a symlink in ~/quicklisp/local-projects to wherever you cloned the repo.

cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects
ln -s ~/path/to/cloned-project

Then from your REPL, you can say:

(ql:quickload :cloned-project)

>>108566176
For some reason, it's ~/.quicklisp/local-projects on my laptop. My desktop has it setup in ~/quicklisp/local-projects. Weird, but whatever.

Not just smart but also productive. And hasn't randomly rage-quit the CL ecosystem after years of molding a lot of it. (Though fare might come back if someone gives him enough money.)

I've been having some fun with eshell prompts.

;; https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EshellPrompt#h5o-4
;; replaced reduce with cl-reduce
(defun shortened-path (path max-len)
  "Return a modified version of `path', replacing some components
with single characters starting from the left to try and get
the path down to `max-len'"
  (let* ((components (split-string (abbreviate-file-name path) "/"))
         (len (+ (1- (length components))
                 (cl-reduce '+ components :key 'length)))
         (str ""))
    (while (and (> len max-len)
                (cdr components))
      (setq str (concat str (if (= 0 (length (car components)))
                                "/"
                              (string (elt (car components) 0) ?/)))
            len (- len (1- (length (car components))))
            components (cdr components)))
    (concat str (cl-reduce (lambda (a b) (concat a "/" b)) components))))

(cl-defun my/eshell-prompt-fn (&key (highlight-color "#f06543") (path-color "#e1b07e") (error-color "#edb230"))
  "Return a function that defines an eshell prompt."
  (lambda nil
    (concat
     (propertize (format-time-string "[%T] ") 'face `(:foreground ,highlight-color))
     (propertize (shortened-path (eshell/pwd) 40) 'face `(:foreground ,path-color))
     (propertize (format " [%d]" eshell-last-command-status) 'face (if (= 0 eshell-last-command-status)
                                                                       `(:foreground ,highlight-color)

     (propertize " λ " 'face `(:foreground ,highlight-color)))))

To try it out:

 ;; save the original prompt in case you want to go back
(setq original-prompt-function eshell-prompt-function)

;; set new prompt
(setq eshell-prompt-function (my/eshell-prompt-fn :highlight-color "#7ebc89" :path-color "#607466" :error-color "#fe5d26"))
