I got to level 35, awesome!

Me too.

From a comment by Austin Haas of Pet Tomato:

"When we have time, we're going to release another installment of this game that utilizes a collection of backend components written in Common Lisp, using SBCL, Hunchentoot, and Postmodern, to allow players to create and submit their own game levels. We use that stuff internally now and it's working great, but we need to clean it up before it's ready for public use."

Lispers can expect $77k/yr salary on average?

Lisp, SICP, PAIP

I did the same. Using Debian at my Macbook.

From Brazil.

Congratulations PG! It's on my to-play-list ;-)

Full-time developer and researcher working on a data mining project for a refrigeration compressor industry, at Brazil.

He's jwz man, "one of the best programmers" accordingly to Peter Norvig [1]. He can :-)

And this guy is translating to Common Lisp:

Contribution to a free software project can be a good indicator too.

Asus Eee looks great for that, but I'm with you, a thin Macbook makes me feel happy :-)

Peter Norvig is awesome! Please, check his PAIP: http://norvig.com/paip.html

Feliz ano novo! (pt_BR)

I visit #lisp for about a year and the guys are cool. Good discussions with maintainers of some projects like Zach. I agree with PG, it's mostly imaginary.

1. Read SICP

2. Do the exercises

3. In parallel, choose an open source project and join on that

4. Share with us your experience

I'm using Debian Sarge at my macbook and all is fine :-)

wow! it's good! I need to know more about your impressions with SBCL to web development, I'm on it too.

One of these SBCL instances is for telltrains dot com? :-)

- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)

- Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming (PAIP)

- Godel Escher Bach (GEB)

- All books from Gibson, Asimov, Sterlig, Huxley and Douglas Adams

Please, check http://cliki.net, http://common-lisp.net and http://cl-user.net. There are packages to all the things commented.

About SQL, for example, I'm using Submarine (ORM) with Postmodern and it's running like a charm. For Web development, there are Hunchentoot, AllegroServe and interesting frameworks like UCW or Weblocks (each one I'm using right now).

Maybe the guy didn't tried enough, more 5 min. at google would be enough ;-)

me too

Well, I think we have something like that with the Apple Dashboard, it uses WebKit to run some HTML+CSS+JS code on the desktop. At the near future I believe WebKit, Prism and other "embeddable browsers" will be at any kind of place running our web applications.

there are some examples of output (horizontal and vertical barchart, line chart and pie chart) at the package's example directory

and what about Patrick's CROMA Lisp?
