Temporary Exile

Ok. So I’m learning Lisp and writing some test functions which I then play around with a bit. I’m doing this in Emacs with SLIME and CMUCL as the Lisp interpretter. I’m writing some basic functions and stuff to demonstrate to my profs that I’m progressing. As I’m working, CMUCL goes into GC and doesn’t come out. As it turns out, there is a bug in the CMUCL version I was using so I’ll be doing Lisp stuff in Scheme or on the CMUCL living on my server (which is newer).

This does raise some questions though. It makes one wonder what happens when a newbie crashes the software…
