We'll need to run a Google Hangouts since I'll be in DC.
Meeting Details
Meeting Wednesday at 6pm, location TBD.
Section Details
3.5 - Streams
Stream processing lets us model systems that have state without ever using assignment or mutable data. This has important implications, both theoretical and practical, because we can build models that avoid the drawbacks inherent in introducing assignment. On the other hand, the stream framework raises difficulties of its own, and the question of which modeling technique leads to more modular and more easily maintained systems remains open.
The Planning Thread
We'll use this github issue as a discussion thread for:
- Thoughts on meeting location or time
- Suggesting topics or exercises we'd like to spend some time discussing in the next meeting
- Problems that should be skipped
- Questions about portions of the text or exercises
- Requests for pair programming (remote or otherwise)
@bigjust BTW, just pushed a CL port of the lazy list implementation and methods in case you want to play with it. Commented and self-contained: https://github.com/kingcons/study-group/blob/master/sicp-july-2018/section-3.5/exercises.lisp#L6
