There is a difference between language and execution. I can put together a clojure server and have it deployed virtually anywhere in about 10 minutes. I have never tried to deploy a CL app but I imagine it must be a little more complicated than making an Uberjar. The semantics of Lisp are beautiful. Why do we need to force them into a single language when it's best strength is portable symbolic logic?
- mateuszf 11y agoI'm not Common Lisper, but actually CL distribution is trivial compared to JVM (for user applications, not servers). It's possible to create native executables, which don't need any frameworks to exist on the target systems. So deploying CL may take more work (making multiple executables), but the programs itself don't need users to have some frameworks installed before.
