Golang

Posted by Keith under Golang

Everyone probably heard of Go lang already by now.  I read many other people’s experiments with it — some are good reviews and some are bad.

Played with the examples on Ubuntu.  Compiles fine, up and running in no time.  Too bad it doesn’t have Windows or Sparc Solaris versions yet.

Anyhow, I need to test further, but syntax looks great, threading model looks good, garbage collection looks fine too.  Need to play around with it more…

Lisp

Posted by Keith under Lisp

Revisiting Lisp again, after reading on and played around with Clojure a bit.

I tried to use Linux 100%, and now I’m trying to use Windows 100%. :-)  Here are some info I found for using Lisp on Windows.

1. http://www.daansystems.com/lispide/

Simple, and the best IDE for Lisp beginner
2. http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/platform-table.html

SBCL, no IDE with this.

3. Lisp in a box = emacs+common lisp+SLIME, on WIndows

4. Allegro CL Free Express Edition

http://www.franz.com/downloads/

This is a free version, but I think it’s a bit overkill for Lisp beginner.  Free version has a limit, e.g. heap size 60MB max.

5. Scheme
http://www.plt-scheme.org/

6. Use Clojure plugin Eclipse

7. Use Clojure plugin for NetBeans

8. [ADDITION] New Lisp
