blog  RDF programming with AllegroCL and AllegroGraph.

Apr 2011

Allegro Common Lisp (wikipedia) is a commercial implementation of the Common Lisp programming language developed by Franz Inc. Allegro CL provides the full ANSI Common Lisp standard - but more interestingly for me, it also provides a very comprehensive suite of tools for semantic web programming. So I decided to give it a go, in what follows I just put together some notes on how to get started quickly.

blog  MacPython/Leopard - PythonInfo Wiki.

Some people have legitimate reasons for wanting to install IDLE on Leopard. E.g., even though Leopard's Xcode 3.0 (and later) supports Python development, it does so in a heavyweight, support-all-of-Cocoa fashion. And educators teaching Python who wish to do so in a platform-agnostic way may also be best served by IDLE.

Mostly, cause it's lightweight and it's built with a 'snippet-oriented' philosophy (something like textmate).
