Hello all! This is the beginning of "lispx", a distribution list for
discussing X windows applications in Lisp. This list is starting as
a result of a BOF session held at Xhibition '88 at MIT last
month.
To summarize what was disucussed at Xhibition:
Currently two packages are available for writing X windows applications
in Lisp: CLX, a functional equivalent to Xlib written in Common Lisp,
and CLUE, an object oriented toolkit for X11 written in Common Lisp
which requires PCL (or any implementation of CLOS) and CLX.
Looks like everyone would like to see all this stuff run under
KCL, and work is being done in that direction. Since CLX is part
of the core X11 distribution it may not be a bad idea to solicit
to X consortium for better of support KCL since it is a NON-proprietary
Common Lisp implementation.
An interest was expressed in more high-level lisp interfaces to
X (i.e. widget sets in lisp?).
Let's start an e-mail distribution list on this topic!
This list is very small at the moment, hopefully it will increase in
size. After I've heard some feedback I will post the existance of
this list to xpert (assuming that there is at least still an interest
among those that asked to start it!).
To subscribe send mail to:
lispx-request@rand-unix.ARPA
Send submissions to:
lispx@rand-unix.ARPA
All submissions will be forwarded immediately (this list is not moderated
or digestified, etc.). Ciao!
