What I meant is that if you really want to use a mathematical operator for this, multiplication is the natural choice. Your suggestions above -- at least the first two -- are of course better still.

I should not expect from first sight that either, string+ or string*, would concatenate. From those names, it also would seem surprising that they can take any sequences, not just strings, as arguments. I see the main merit of creating such a function of reduced generality in that you can pass it around as a simple #'string-conc instead of (lambda (rest sequences) (apply #'concatenate 'string sequences)). Scheme has string-append. -- With Best Regards, Stas. ___ pro mailing list pro@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pro

That's one of the reasons why it's still in beta. I need to gather useful, descriptive info about each project and make it easily available.

Re: [pro] Learning Lisp the Bump Free Way
I have been a beginner lisp developer for years largely because the is just a large problem with answering the question I want to make a website, but what a pain to figure out where to start, I want to X. I would be down to contribute. This lisp learning curve is large, and figuring out the exact resources that are available is harder. Especially because it's hard to tell from the outside what is being maintained and up todate, and what works on which cl distribution. This sounds like some thing that can be added to http://common-lisp.net/ or http://www.cliki.net/ On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 12:02 PM, Zach Beane x...@xach.com wrote: Nick Levine n...@ravenbrook.com writes: We're getting there.
