Random Lispings
IoC containers, Part 2 soon. But in the meantime, some Lisp links.
- A hack to add continuations to Common Lisp. Adding support for the rest of Common Lisp is left as an exercise for the reader.
- One way to do that would be to define various Common Lisp forms in terms of other forms. It's a shame Common Lisp wasn't specified this way. I have long suspected that inside Common Lisp is a small elegant Lisp trying to get out, and furthermore, that small elegant Lisp is in many ways preferable to Scheme.
- Pragmatic Parsing in Common Lisp. When doing some parsing in CL a while ago, I got side-tracked thinking about regular expressions. I wish I had read that article first.
Whatever happened to Henry Baker, I wonder.
