Not only that, but an hour after your post, someone (burma-shave) had updated the LFE formula for v1.0 of LFE: * https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/f95c192d43d9a56bda...

Having used early versions of Mathematica in university, I'm actually a huge fan of Maxima (a fork of Macsyma, the latter having been the principle inspiration behind Mathematica). I have it installed on several systems and use it now

I have the LISP-STAT book by Luke Tierney on my desk right now. Love it :-)

Agreed. Well, with the date, anyway ;-) (though I am an SBCL user) Somewhere around 2000 we saw the end of AI winter. This most likely owes something to the fairly impressive Lisp marketing that PG did. Within a few years, several new Lisp

Oh, wow -- that's a great tidbit! I hadn't heard that before, Robert (one for the LFE Lore files ...)

So a couple of comments here :-) Robert is actually an old-school Lisper (and a hard-core one, too). LFE has been inspired not only by CL but also Maclisp. The point being that, yeah, he's an Erlang guy, but he was first a Lisp guy (an

@technomancy, Hey man! Good to see you here ... but not even a little love for a Lisp-2? ;-) We've chatted about this before, and I guess I just got used to (funcall ...) in CL. There's no question, though, that being able to ca

That's very cool :-) I think rvirding would approve ;-) Did you ever check out LFE afterwards. to compare your approach with Robert's?

Frank's been doing all his latest work on the Raspberry Pi, actually. In fact, that's what he tested the new LFE support on :-)

Frank's also going to be giving a talk at Erlang Factory SF this year -- but this time on the Nerves Project itself :-)

If you're going to be handling large amounts of data, then Disco is what you'd want to use, not this. However, if you're spending your day in an LFE REPL and want to be able to parallelize computation out to multiple Python i

The points made below about Disco a great. Similar confusion came up on Twitter with regard to CloudI. As a result of that, I updated the README with clarification on what LFE py is not for, and what you might use in those cases. Disco is

Disco has gone beyond MR with pipelines, too. This allows for more generalized workflows. Great stuff.

Nice that you mention Pandas ... it's on the list for being supported by lsci (which in turn will be using LFE py). As for Hy: LFE py comes with custom ErlPort encoders/decoders, and I came this close to writing those in Hy. How

I've update the blog post with these, but here they are in this context as well: * A more detailed follow-up to that post is here: http://blog.lfe.io/tutorials/2014/12/03/1828-erlport-and-pyt... * T

Yeah, the quick start is just intended to get folks going. The "Docs" page definitely has a lot more useful stuff there!
