Description

The gist is demoing using McCLIM common lisp interface manager implementation to make Sandewall 1978's lisp iconic example scheduler app, but to drive it to and from emacs lisp via slime and swank.

To start with, a beginner walkthrough on getting slime and common lisp and mcclim, and configuring and using them with emacs org-mode.

The default clim application-frame is made and its interactor used.

A CLIM command is then defined to refer the default describe to emacs lisp rather than the inferior lisp.

CLIM useage with no gui via slime / org-mode is demoed.

This is then used via emacs lisp.

CLIM's accepting-values is used to generate an anonymous gui that accepts a value into elisp.

A small final discussion on integrating the clim scheduler back and forth into org-agenda.

About the speaker:

I'm screwlisp from the lispy gopher climate, a weekly Wednesday 000UTC podcast (non-radio show) on aNONradio.net powered by sdf.org; (also the lesser-known Friday 1400UTC show, Zhen House Zhen Bonkwave.

We are fortunate to have many great people in our live chat that happens in LambdaMOO during the shows. Last week, we shared Rog's new writing on his current personal emacs modes with his decades of emacs useage. (Roger Crew). That's not what this talk is about though, though we often deal with emacs and McCLIM, which are what this talk is about. I have many friends who picked those up in some small part thanks to the show.
