10:00 <pjb> ullbeking: now you have an excuse to learn CL. Start right away: M-x slime RET (after installing at least one CL, cf. http:/cliki.net/Getting+Started )

11:16 <ullbeking> pjb: tbh, i've always been naturally attracted to Scheme over CL, and I wonder if there is anything as good as SLIME for Scheme. I'm particularly into Racket

11:24 <pjb> ullbeking: you can implement a swank for a scheme. This has already been done.

14:41 <ullbeking> This is a great tip, lovely. Especially considerng my favorite Lisp is Elisp. I would love to implement sth like this for Racket as one factor in my goal of learning dependent types.

14:44 <ullbeking> The biggest problem for me is that M/ELPA has caused me far more grief than help.

14:45 <ullbeking> It's a great idea, like gnus, expect gnus is full of defects that will never be resolved.

14:46 <ullbeking> (I'm referring to ELPA in this instance.)

14:49 <ullbeking> Where is the best channel.to bounce around ideas for things you would be there's to work old on, is a "build it and they will come package", and I 100% sincerely will re-invigorate Emacs...????

14:49 <ullbeking> Mailing list?

14:51 <ullbeking> Probably should re-post the above as a paste with a link in #lispcafe ?

15:02 <pjb> and #emacs for more specific emacs stuff.

20:23 <ullbeking> pjb: unfortunately #emacs seems to be a lot like one those channels like #hardware; a see of disconnected comments and you're lucky if somebody responds in any way to you comment.

20:23 <ullbeking> aside from #lispcafe, where else is great?

20:23 <ullbeking> you, the kinds of places where....

20:24 <ullbeking> every so often you'd get a post by a person like erik naggum and it would really give food for thougt

20:25 <ullbeking> xah lee may seem like a troll to some but i think he has some very, very pertinent points. he's great at pointing out that the emperor has no clothes.

21:28 <pjb> Well, Erk Naggum is decesed, so interesting posts are fewer and fewer…
