I stopped using python (2.7) a couple years ago once I learned CL. But—if you’re dealing with reading standard input incrementally there are differences between readline() and the interator when it comes to buffering. Or, at least, it was easier for me to get readline to work than it was to figure out how to configure the iterator correctly.
This, the whole Unicode mess and the fact that lisp allows you to write at the same level of abstraction (or greater) without sacrificing performance as much, led me to abandon Python for almost everything.
- sametmax 8y agoWhat does this have to do with the above comment ?
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y ago> Also you never really use readline(), since files are iterable
- xyrouter 8y agoWhat is your preferred CL implementation and development environment? How do you distribute your programs/applications? As Lisp source code or as a binary generated by dumping core or some such technique?
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoIt depends. I generally use sbcl, unless I'm trying to do something with Cocoa, in which case I use either ccl or Lispworks CAPI. All my projects are open-source (MIT) and some of them are on quicklisp. I actually deploy applications by dumping an image and copying it to the right place.
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoI use emacs-with-evil mode + SLIME for developing applications... as I say, "the best implementation of vim is written in Emacs Lisp" or "evil-mode is the text editor for the Emacs operating system".
