<luis> So, Alan and Matthias, the original slime-presentation authors stand by their original intention to have presentations be weak references, mostly because they expect users to be surprised when a long repl session blows the heap. Yet, every user I've surveyed so far expects the opposite.
<pjb> Indeed: there's (slime-repl-clear-buffer).
<luis> Right. Well, I'm asking Twitter to double check. https://twitter.com/luismbo/status/1382107284130648064 :)
<luis> I should probably check the mailing list too, like it's the year 2000 or something
<luis> (fewer and fewer people seem to use mailing lists these days is what I mean)
<luis> 3 votes in, 2 voters expect the object to be GCeable. Interesting.
<pjb> 7 votes now.
<luis> Yes, obj always reachable - 50%, No, obj may be GCed - 37.5%, What are presentations? - 12.5%
<pjb> 7 votes is not significant. Send the vote link in #lisp and #emacs too.
<pjb> Isn't there a vote UI in irc?
<pjb> Do we need a vote bot?
<luis> Meh.
<pjb> If the result is that obj may be GCed, you can as well not keep them…
<pjb> and forget about presentations.
