[Axiom-developer] Latest release on Docker


From: daly
Subject: [Axiom-developer] Latest release on Docker

A new Docker image was pushed. As usual,

  docker pull daly/axiom
  docker run -i -t daly/axiom axiom

The main change removed the src/interp/interop.lisp.pamphlet file.

This fulfills two project goals, the first goal of moving the code
into literate form and the second goal of cleaning up the code base.
We are one file closer to a fully literate form.

The interop.lisp file contained code to check for and handle data
formats from a prior version of the system. It was intended to be
used during the transition, which was finished long before Axiom
was released. Unfortunately the old code remained.

Not only was this a waste of compile time, it was a waste of runtime
since the checking functions always returned false.

The dead code was removed and the live code was absorbed into other
files.

This should be transparent to users.
