This has apparently just been published by Apress. Has anyone got it yet? Looks good: <https://www.apress.com/9781484....

I'm waiting for your buying it and reviewing it before I jump in.

Does it have a chapter on solving the deadlock problem? Uh-oh, now we
have a meta-deadlock!

Should we all chip in and buy a copy for WJ? Perhaps it would give him a
new source of quotes.

No, no, no, a thousand times no!
It would just give more code to be transformed into some language other than (Common) Lisp.

Common Lisp: (make-list 1000 :initial-element "no")
Python: ["no"]*1000

It's for a reduced price now till tomorrow, so I bought it. Just
quickly looking into it I'd say (IMHO):

- It's a great book for someone who learned basics of CL and wants to
start real world programming in CL now.
- It's not for complete beginners.
- It's not for experienced CL programmers.
- It's probably still good for someone (like me) who knows CL but
doesn't use it that much actually; the book is big so there's a good
chance to find some useful tips there, finding how to do something may
be easier in the book than in HyperSpec or by Web search and it's
always fun to read about CL after all. Just one example: I learned
about :synchronized keyword of make-hash-table.

Uhhh... That looks like an SBCL-only extension.
Did he make it very clear that :SYNCHRONIZED
does *not* exist in ANSI CL's MAKE-HASH-TABLE?!?

Yes, he clearly stated that this is an SBCL extension and also that it's
marked as experimental in SBCL manual. He gave it as one of examples of
handling hash table access safety in multithreaded environments by CL
implementations. And additionally warns about the need of carefully
checking implementation documentation, about possibly different meaning
of "thread-safety" in different CL implementations and about what is
actually "single access" operation.

The book looks written competently and carefully to me at the first
glance.

Till February 24 the printed book costs a half of its price â?? 26.47â?¬. It
is cheaper than the eBook version.
