: A short pamphlet about what I think you get out of lisp. Namely #loop #format #clim #clos #conditions ie #iteration #prettyPrinting #GUI #oop #notCrashing

When I remember how to get any of my tildes back I will gopher the org doc.

#CommonLisp #Mastoquestions #prettyPrinting
So I do want to pretty print some forms, but I don't want the "oh this is a when form" pretty printing. What to do?
(princ '((when the first atom is when this happens)))
(princ '((but otherwise this happens))
*but imagine these forms are really long

Note that the #PrettyPrinting dispatch tables of #CommonLisp conceptionally are a #GenericFunction with #ParametricDispatch.

The function SET-PPRINT-DISPATCH is essentially an ADD-METHOD to the pretty printing parametric dispatch.

(Unfortunatly, the canonical, #ProofOfConcept implementation of PP by #RichardWaters is one single convoluted mess; basically a negative example of software design, even by standards of its time.)
