  • I programmed a SLY completion backend, it works, but I could use some help fine tuning it.
    1 project | /r/Common_Lisp | 16 Oct 2023
    please someone create a pull request (or issue) on SLY github, to make it available to other SLY users. (I do not wish to have a github account and don't care about the copyright)
  • Font Identification Request
    1 project | /r/emacs | 17 Jul 2023
    Probably a silly question. I saw some Emacs gifs in sly’s README and found the font simple but comfortable. Would anyone using the same font mind sharing his/her setup?
  • Lisp and cybersecurity !
    2 projects | /r/lisp | 18 Apr 2023
    I think lisp languages have a culture of not caring about security, (total speculation here) with roots going back to stallman decrypting the passwords and restoring anonymous access in the MIT lab. For example, quicklisp the main package manager people are using with common lisp is pulling packages over http. Normal lisp development spawns a tcp socket that accepts arbitrary code to execute. Emacs recently pushed a release fixing a vuln not because they thought it was important, but because their users cared and they realize it's a bad look to not push timely fixes to known vulns. All those I can't really fault cause they're just people in their free time, but clojure has major industry use and the default html templater (hiccup) doesn't escape html by default (well it does in version 2 but that's still alpha so most are on version 1), leading to most web backends written in clojure having cross-site scripting (XSS) vulns.
  • So i wanna learn Common Lisp
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 4 Dec 2022
    With emacs your two choices are either SLIME or SLY. Slime is a good place to start - it's rock solid. Once you get moving you can make a judgement call on whether or not SLY has features you'd like over what SLIME has available.
  • Are there plugins for Neovim that don't exist, that should exist, in your opinion?
    18 projects | /r/neovim | 23 Oct 2022
    A proper Neovim client for Slime or Sly. The closest is Vlime, but its UI is really janky.

    13 projects | /r/linux | 14 Aug 2022
    SLIME or SLY for Common Lisp (if you want to work with it), Geiser for various Schemes
  • Basic dev environment setup
    4 projects | /r/lisp | 5 Jul 2022
    This may sound very threatening, but Emacs is the champion for lisp/scheme support out of the box in my opinion. If you are trying Common Lisp, check sly: https://github.com/joaotavora/sly It’s installable via melpa: https://melpa.org/#/getting-started
  • SLY with ListWorks
    1 project | /r/Common_Lisp | 1 Jul 2022
    I have a Hobbyist version of LispWorks and would like to use it with SLY. However I get this weird behavior as expressed in: https://github.com/joaotavora/sly/discussions/513
  • Difficulty installing packages with quicklisp
    1 project | /r/lisp | 16 Jun 2022
    I tried to quickload c-mera into sbcl (using Emacs and SLY on Linux (SLIME should work, too)) and succeeded. here is what I did: 1) git clone https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera 2) git clone https://github.com/didierverna/clon 3. open a SLY-REPL and (ql:quickload "net.didierverna.clon"), be sure it succeeds, if not check asdf paths 4. change to c-mera directory and do a dos2unix file on all files in all (sub)directories. 5. run autoreconf -if 6. run ./configure --with-sbcl 7. run make this failed on my system, I didn't try to solve that 8. open the SLY-REPL and enter (ql:quickload "c-mera") 9. in SLY-REPL enter (ql:quickload "cmu-c") 10. in SLY-REPL enter (in-package :cmu-c) 11. in SLY-REPL enter (cm-reader) 12. in SLY-REPL run first example code from readme

  • Perfect Elixir: Environment Setup
    3 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS.
  • Reliability in Legacy Software
    1 project | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    But regardless of their reasons, they'll note that the service is easily meeting its SLOs. It was written in a highly performant, if idiosyncratic language, and uses patterns which give it a high level of resilience and the ability to recover from many situations automatically. The service is steady as a rock, and left to its own devices will more or less chug along indefinitely once deployed.

  • Meet entr, the standalone file watcher
    4 projects | dev.to | 2 Nov 2023
    As you might have guessed, one of the main use cases for entr is to rerun tests whenever files change. I'm an Elixir engineer, and I use entr to run mix test continuously whenever I save an Elixir file.

    The diagram demonstrates the communication pathway between the browser and the Postgres database through the Electric service. Essentially, Electric Sync Service, an Elixir application, orchestrates active-active data replication between the user's local DB and Postgres.
  • Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
    14 projects | dev.to | 19 Oct 2023
    The Elixir programming language is no stranger to desktop applications as the language actually supports building them out of the box. It uses wxWidgets: a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. But wxWidgets has a very complex API, and doesn’t solve issues that usually come with desktop applications around packaging.
  • Show HN: Podsee – AI tool for podcast listeners
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Oct 2023
    Hi everyone, I just launched Podsee(https://pods.ee) for podcast listeners, lovers. You can search and listen to podcasts at Podsee. What makes it different is that you can get the AI transcript for an episode.

    It started as a side project after I resigned my job one year ago. As a programmer, I love Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/) and Phoenix LiveView(https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view), and want to make a product with it. So I build Podsee.

    I'm planning to add more AI features to it, like summarize the episode audio, episode to comics, etc.

    I'd love to invite you all to try out the product and would appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks!
