Personal bits around AI, Programming and other things I might find interesting
Recently I was doing some data processing and since it fit nicely in a parallel setup, I changed my pipeline to use the Array.Parallel module. An easy and simple change that can speed up your task especially if it’s time consuming. Nonetheless, I also needed Array.filter and to my surprise it wasn’t available in the … Continue reading Simple Parallel Array Filtering in F#
I was looking for examples of Lisp implementations using F# and found these 3 interesting series of blog posts. You can find other posts about implementing Lisp or Scheme using F# but these were the ones I found more comprehensive and different enough to compare different implementations. Although these Lisp implementations are learning experiments and … Continue reading Articles about using F# to implement Lisp
Last December I decided to start to learn properly F#. Before that I only had done the usual explore and play to have an idea of the language. Anyway, I started to read Programming F# 3.0 by Chris Smith complemented by Expert F# 3.0 by Don Syme, Adam Granicz and Antonio Cisternino. Two excellent books … Continue reading F# Impressions
For the past months I have spent most of my time on .NET using C# but I also would have liked to use Common Lisp on it. I do not know of a CL implementation for .NET and I read some time ago that probably doing one is not that easy, as this answer in … Continue reading Common Lisp on .NET ?
There is an interesting thread in the Clozure Common Lisp development mailing list about argument evaluation in #'<. Until now, CCL was implementing shortcircuiting when evaluating the arguments of #'<. This essentially means that when calling (< 1 3 2 4 5) it would stop before evaluating all the arguments since it wold know it … Continue reading A note on shortcircuiting of argument evaluation in #'<
