cl-llama.cpp is llama.cpp's Common Lisp wrapper by Carlos Ungil. It allows us to use LLMs locally via Common Lisp. I modified it to use the updated llama.cpp API, and improved how it prints the output.

I suppose this is an important library to use Common Lisp in building RAG apps.

An exploratory programming environment for Common Lisp

I want to demo my program on the web.

Recently I've been working on a reviving my, rather old, side project, euler-cl (https://github.com/bahmanm/euler-cl), where I solve Project Euler problems with Common Lisp.

As one of the first steps, I decided to establish a robust CI/CD pipeline using ASDF, FiveAM, Make, bmakelib, and CircleCI - I've attached a diagram for a quick overview.

I'd love to discuss the following:

• Are there other tools within the CL ecosystem that excel in this area?
• Any tips on optimizing this workflow further?
• General thoughts on integrating CI/CD into Common Lisp projects.

In 2024 it's 30 years since X3J13 approved ANSI Common Lisp in 1994. But when in the year? Is it known in which month or date was the standard approved?

While many sources mention 1994 there doesn't seem to be much other metadata online.

Update

I asked on comp.lang.lisp: ANSI Common Lisp was approved on December 8, 1994.

Hey all,

Ive cobbled together some asdf systems that parse the lemmy js client and generate an API specification, and then generates a set of classes and methods from that specification. Its certainly rough around the edges, but with some polish i hope it can be useful to lispers who wish to interact with Lemmy from CL.

Cheers!

The book Let Over Lambda: 50 Years of Lisp by Doug Hoyte (2008) seems good but I haven't seen it recommended or discussed much. I ordered a copy thinking it was some overlooked vintage classic, then realized it's a self-published work.

The book is on its way to me and I read a few reviews. And yes it's opinionated, but the author regrets the language.

Still, since the book is so intriguing, if you have any thoughts I'd be happy to read them.
