- kunley 16y agoReally cool. I go back to CL each year. Last couple of times I checked I wasn't able to get linedit working under my sbcl via a chain of simple asdf-installs, so CL went into my private oblivion. Great idea with some QA done to the released programs !! CL always seemed like the people involved hated the phrase "release management". Now there's some light at the end of the tunnel.. Thanks for your work !
- zachbeane 16y agoI just started using linedit this week, because all I have to do to set it up is: (ql:quickload "linedit") (linedit:install-repl) Before that, it seemed like too much trouble.
- Xurinos 16y agoI got it to work via asdf-install, but I had to cheat a little to do it: I removed linedit's version check that was not present in the dependent package (I think osicat).
- technomancy 16y agoPart of the reason I had a hard time taking CL seriously when I tried it back in 05 was that it didn't have this, so it's good to see people respond to that need, albeit astonishingly late. I've since moved on to Clojure but wish you luck.
