From: Heow Eide-Goodman To: LispNYC Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2007 13:19:47 -0400 Subject: [Lisp] Reminder: Lisp Meeting: August 14th 7:00 at Trinity T-minus 7 days to OtterLaunch! CL-USER> (decode-universal-time 3396121200) 0 0 19 14 8 2007 1 T 5 Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, August 14th from 7:00 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Perry Metzger Presents: Otter, a new dialect of Lisp. Otter is strongly influenced by Scheme and Python, with some bits of inspiration from Common Lisp, Perl and other languages thrown in, as well as some strange ideas Perry came up up with on his own. The results may be pleasing to some and are guaranteed to be repulsive to others. If you're tired of waiting for Paul Graham to release Arc, you may find Otter interesting. If you don't care if Paul Graham ever releases Arc, you may also find Otter interesting. In the unlikely event that all goes according to plan, a prototype Otter interpreter. Perry Metzger is a long time ne'er-do-well and agent provocateur. He subsists largely on cruciferous vegetables, and rarely turns down a chance to nap. Besides designing Otter, he is currently learning how to distinguish different organic solvents by scent alone. He lives in New York with a purple haired woman and many elderly computers whom he cares for in their golden years.
