Hello,

I can agree with Jim.

I used Common Lisp and other dialects, did some projects.
If you need sockets, regexps and other 'modern' stuff you need to choose suitable implementation. I would like to be wrong but probably IMAP or audio/video will be missing.

The language is very cool. But I observed the most beautiful languages tend to have worse libraries. E.g. Perl and Python are on the 'good libraries' side, CL, Ruby are on 'cool languages' side.

Regards,
Miroslaw

LISP newbie's questions

Hello, I want to learn LISP, and I have a GNU/Linux OS. I first sought a LISP compiler/interpreter and was told that GNU Emacs has a LISP mode. But I couldn't get into LISP mode, nor I don't know how to use it when I get into LISP mode. How can I run LISP code under GNU Emacs? And if...

Emacs; lisp interpreter, editor and what the hell else?

I can't actually remember how I got to this point but I deducted that Emacs must be an interpreter because you have to run w3m in it which I think is written in Lisp. I did read the manual that ships with Emacs. Is that all there is to Emacs? A lisp interpreter that is also a editor? Is it...

pgmtolispm

pgmtolispm(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                pgmtolispm(1)

NAME

       pgmtolispm - convert a portable graymap into Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS

       pgmtolispm [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable graymap as input.  Produces a Lisp Machine bitmap as output.

       This is the file format read by the tv:read-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

       Given a pgm (instead of a pbm) a multi-plane image will be output.  This is probably not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

       Multi-plane  bitmaps  on  lisp  machines  are color; but the lispm image file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a
       graymap instead.  This is unfortunate.

SEE ALSO

       lispmtopgm(1), pgm(5)

BUGS

       Output width is always rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32; this might not always be what you want, but it probably is  (arrays  which
       are not modulo 32 cannot be passed to the Lispm BITBLT function, and thus cannot easily be displayed on the screen).

       No color.
