# Elisp and McCLIM

The gist is demoing using McCLIM common lisp interface manager
implementation to make Sandewall 1978's lisp iconic example
scheduler app, but to drive it to and from emacs lisp via slime
and swank.

To start with, a beginner walkthrough on getting slime and
common lisp and mcclim, and configuring and using them with
emacs org-mode.

The default clim application-frame is made and its interactor
used.

A CLIM command is then defined to refer the default describe to
emacs lisp rather than the inferior lisp.

CLIM useage with no gui via slime / org-mode is demoed.

This is then used via emacs lisp.

CLIM's accepting-values is used to generate an anonymous gui
that accepts a value **into elisp**.

A small final discussion on integrating the clim scheduler back
and forth into org-agenda.

About the speaker:

I'm screwlisp from the lispy gopher climate, a weekly Wednesday
000UTC podcast (non-radio show) on aNONradio.net powered by sdf.org;
(also the lesser-known Friday 1400UTC show, Zhen House Zhen Bonkwave.

We are fortunate to have many great people in our live chat that
happens in LambdaMOO during the shows. Last week, we shared Rog's
new writing on his current personal emacs modes with his decades
of emacs useage. (Roger Crew). That's not what this talk is about
though, though we often deal with emacs and McCLIM, which **are** what
this talk is about. I have many friends who picked those up in some
small part thanks to the show.
