Fare Rideau
Fare Rideau, a Person really named François-René Rideau Ðặng-Vũ Bân, is a dreamer. I'm as much (and as little) of a philosopher as a computer programmer, as you can guess by reading my home page or my blog.

I've written a few small-time Common Lisp hacks that you may find useful, and that are available as asdf-installable packages.

  • cl-launch, an easy-to-use infrastructure to make your Lisp software runnable from the command line.
  • fare-utils, a collection of small lisp utilities to make life easier. Notably used by fare-matcher.
  • fare-matcher, a ML-style pattern-matcher that is extensible in a Lisp2 way.
  • Scribble, a reader extension for Scribe-like syntax.
  • Exscribe, my replacement for Manuel Serrano's Scribe.
  • fare-csv, a small Text utility to import CSV files.
  • philip-jose, a "farmer" to manage distributed computations.
  • Other tidbits such as a md5 hash function library or an incomplete but hackable skeletal RTF processor.

I also used to mismaintain CTO, a CLiki installation.

Note that my former CVS site is out of date, and will be phased out. I now use monotone, but I haven't yet setup a web access to my repository.

My main project is not exactly Lisp, and even less CL, though I'll be possibly be using CL to bootstrap it: it's TUNES.

Lisp-related posts on my blog can now be found with the tag "lisp". They notably include, in newer-to-older order:

Trivia: Faré takes an "é" and is pronounced "Fah-ree".
