Lisp porno movies
In one of the chapter of The Mythical Man-Month you see the menu of a restaurant and the caption "Faire de la bonne cuisine demande un certain temps. Si on vous fait attendre, c'est pour mieux vous servire, et vous plaire" which would translate to "Good cooking takes time. If you are made to wait, it is to serve you better, and to please you". It is true that a quick snack can help you to wait and I hope that my fractal zooming movies helped you to wait. Now, the real meal is ready. David Steuber finished rendering his Xeno's Xomo movie! This movies is made with Common Lisp, it took months to render. It is a complete movie with a soundtrack and all.
I hope that this kind of movie stimulate your curiosity for Common Lisp. You are lucky to start now, Marco Baringer just made a great demo of SLIME, the Common Lisp interaction mode for Emacs. In this demo you'll learn some of the tricks that make editing Lisp such a pleasure. After that you'll probably want to code you own web based fractal zoomer so why not grab Marco's demo of UCW, a package for developing web applications in Common Lisp. We are not done yet! You think that Common Lisp is the perfect language already ? You are wrong, but the good news is that making the perfect language for a particular job is pretty easy if you use Common Lisp. Rainer Joswig made a really good demo of a domain specific language using Common Lisp.
Now you must have started your downloads and while you are waiting you think that you should do some googling for a good Lisp tutorial. You can stop searching since Peter Seibel was kind enough to put Practical Common Lisp online for your reading pleasure. "Are we done yet ?" you might wonder. Well... no, I'm afraid there is still more porn to download. Rainer Joswig managed to find some Symbolic Lisp Machines and made some lisp machines videos! That should be enough for now, I'll keep the rest for the desert.
