Getting back in the groove now after Christmas/New Year.
A few days ago Mats (cadar) asked me what requirements I have for LFE
examples. Very few actually and not that difficult:
- A simple copyright which allows people to load, run and modify the
code.
- An interesting, fun, different, etc piece of code. If it is
something difficult to do in vanilla or showing interfacing LFE with
vanilla and OTP that is good but definitely not a requirement.
- It can be one file or many, it's up to you.
That's about it really. If there are two or more files it might be
worth putting them in a sub directory and if it's a BIG app it might
be better to keep it on your site and just link to it. It is up to
you.
Now I need some help with a suggestion for an example application. I
have a method I want to show but I need help thinking up a good
problem to solve which uses it. The method is storing code in a
database. I don't mean keeping files or functions in a database, but
rather "things" which don't just contain data values but code which is
run to do things. Funs don't keep well in a database as they are very
sensitive about the compiled modules they belong to. And while it is
possible in vanilla to create abstract it is much, much easier to do
this lisp.
So I am looking for an application where this is the right thing to
do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
