Since I don't follow the field closely I wonder whether Lisp is still used much in modern AI as this article claims.

The Programmer's Assistant supports undo/redo of Lisp expressions like in this example. The Programmer's Assistant is the Medley Interlisp facility for expression and command replay, undo, and editing.

@kyonshi libera.chat, but I'm only really in #scheme, I join #lisp #lispgames #retrogamedev and some others, but they're low-traffic/quality. I try other bars but haven't found one I like.

there is also its "Exotic Language of the Month Club" on page 99: CRL, a knowledge representation language (implemented in Common Lisp). Then the PowerLisp ad on page 62. SCOOPS on page 49ff. The KEEConnection ad on page 23ff. The "Personal Consultant Plus" (written in PC Scheme) ad from TI with support for the TI Explorer Lisp Machine on page 6/7. The GoldWorks ad on page 145. Plus: a bunch of Prolog articles...
The July 1987 issue of Computer Language magazine reviewed half a dozen Lisp implementations for MS-DOS and the Macintosh. There are a few I didn't know such as TransLISP by Solution Systems.

Miscreants warming to Delphi, Haskell, and the like to evade detection"

@amoroso @ramin_hal9001 @sacha @screwtape I too really enjoyed the post. I have a question though.
But Isn't this a semantic game? Aren't the definitions of "one thing", what this one thing is and "doing well" so flexible that we can apply to anything? For example, a set of n items is one thing too.
Can we say electron or the js ecosystem fulfils the unix philosophy too because it does the one thing of quickly building cross platform apps really well?

Condition system for Fennel language and Lua runtime

andreyor.st · Condition system for Fennel language and Lua runtimeNot long ago I posted a small article on a Condition System in Clojure language. In that article, I was mostly trying to understand what a condition system is, and how it can enhance error handling in the code I write. Since that time, I’ve understood this system a lot better, by actually trying it in the Common Lisp language, the place where it came from, as far as I know.
Collards 0.7 is out.
The main change is performing incremental builds which is extra nice because it allows rsync to copy less during deployment.
I think I'm at a point where I have all the collards features I really want and can put it on the backburner for a little while. Time to build my site out more.

I chewed on the tasty food for thought of the blog series by Ramin Honary @ramin_hal9001 on how Emacs fulfills the Unix philosophy. If a Lisp system is extensible, customizable, and self-documenting by design I'd say it's an application platform, or pretty close.

Ramin, @sacha Sacha Chua, and @screwtape will elaborate on this in an upcoming episode of the Lispy Gopher show. Full context:
