I have been officially proclaimed to be the biggest threat to the Common Lisp community right now.
Well, I guess it's sort of an #AchievementUnlocked
FYI: I'm sure that am a choleric person.
This means that, even I'm trying to keep these tendencies of mine at bay, I will sometimes make a fool of myself by speaking without thinking first and going on rants about some things.
In case you see me in such a state, I will be most grateful if you remind me that it is time to stop posting and that I should think if I shouldn't perhaps be burning in shame due to saying some stupid things I could have not said if only I thought before rambling.
This chap has some neat #CommonLisp videos on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/NeilMunro/videos
C++, exceptions
I'm still torn about using exceptions vs. result types (e.g. tl::expected) for error handling.
I find them almost equivalent in functionality, but for one case: iterating with standard algorithms and collecting errors. Much easier to std::transform() and gather tl::unexpected; can't exactly resume iteration if internals throw.
But then exceptions give cleaner code IMO (result types create spam of helper functions/lambdas).
Wish C++ had condition system from #CommonLisp.

@phoe Thank you for making this video. I am always trying to learn more about programming and especially, Lisp. I am enjoying the book "The Common Lisp Condition System".
The video is now live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqQq2Hwt5o
Thanks for the chat!
I don't know anything about #Lisp but this sounds really interesting.
I'll be talking #CommonLisp with Alejandro Serrano of 47 Degrees Academy tomorrow at 18:00 CET.
The video was prerecorded, I'll be there answering questions on chat.

Amused that the #Slack outage today is preventing so much work from being done, when decentralized #OpenSource platforms like @matrix still exist and are running just fine. Why do people keep using these walled gardens?
Value of 'NIL
in (THE NIL (PROGN 'NIL))
is NIL, not a NIL.
I am constantly amazed by Master Boot Record and the kind of sound it is capable of producing.
It is that time of the year, in which I announce another release of Netfarm, a replicated object system. Okay, I only did this last year, but there's some correspondence, no?
There are a few things we likely want to sort out for 2021, before the Current State of Networking Things gets worse. Netfarming may or may not be an improvement, but I am hopeful it is; see "Why another drive to 2021" in
https://gitlab.com/cal-coop/netfarm/netfarm/-/releases/v0.1.0 for a rationale.
We are testing for the next #ecl release: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues/621 -- please chip in if you have resources to do so :) #lisp
ELS2021 online is announced and the call for papers is out. Looking forward to it!! 🤩
