Yes, why not? As I maintan a data driven, static content web page generator, I keep thinking in terms of LISP functions. LISP, with its stateless and functional approach appears to be the right tool for the job. Why not LISP, indeed?
With that written, LISP does have one huge barrier to entry: lack of documentation. For example, I've been trying to figure out how to use the getopt LISP library in Clozure LISP (it's the only LISP which works on my OS) and there is no documentation nor examples; the best I was able to come up with was "look at the source". Being forced to reverse engineer isn't good for adoption. That needs fixed!
- jacobush 9y agoWhat OS is that, Multics?
- Annatar 9y agoSolaris 10 on the i86pc platform.
- jacobush 9y agoOuch, my condolences. (SBCL not working though?)
- Annatar 9y agoNo need for condolences; I run Solaris 10 because the damn thing is unbreakable; all the other machines keep busting but this thing runs and runs and runs, and it's fast and low power. SBCL goes straight into some sort of a LISP debugger and is unusable. I guess quality control is not a term in Steel Bank's dictionary.
- jhgb 9y agoHave you tried Gambit, or alternatively Gerbil (which uses Gambit as its foundation)?
