Format:B

Format:B is a German tech-house group consisting of Franciskus Sell and Jakob Hildenbrand. Their single, "Chunky", was released on 13 November 2015.

Background

Format:B consists of Franciskus Sell and Jacob Hildenbrand, both from Germany. Sell hailed from Erfurt while Hildenbrand was based in Berlin, and they met while attending courses at SAE Institute Berlin. The pair began releasing 12 inches on Highgrade Records in 2005, followed by releases on Stil Vor Talent and Opossum Recordings; they returned to Highgrade for the release of their debut album, Steam Circuit, in late 2008.

For a year or so, until late 2009, they became in-demand DJs and toured all over the world, after which the pair founded the vanity label Formatik Records and used it to release their own records such the club hits "Gospel" and "Dog Tag", and then records by those they had signed such as Daniel Steinberg, DJ Madskillz, and Tobi Kramer. In conjunction with this, they became the resident DJs at Club Watergate in Berlin, and in late 2011 released their second album, Restless, followed by a series of remix 12 inches the following year, both on Formatik Records.

Format (Common Lisp)

FORMAT is a function in Common Lisp that can produce formatted text using a format string similar to the printf format string. It provides more functionality than printf, allowing the user to output numbers in English, apply certain format specifiers only under certain conditions, iterate over data structures, and output in a tabular format. This functionally originates in MIT's Lisp Machine Lisp, where it was based on Multics ioa_.

Example

An example of a C printf call is the following:

Using Common Lisp, this is equivalent to:

Another example would be to print every element of list delimited with commas, which can be done using the ~{, ~^ and ~} directives:

Note that not only is the list of values iterated over directly by FORMAT, but the commas correctly are printed between items, not after them. A yet more complex example would be printing out a list using customary English phrasing:

Whilst FORMAT is somewhat infamous for its tendency to become opaque and hard to read, it provides a remarkably concise yet powerful syntax for a specialised and common need.
