Calling curl (or similar) from CL as an external program is a valid answer.
I don't think that answer makes a large and diverse 'community' of thousands of people forever 'toxic'.
- profsnuggles 8y agoI'm just reporting my personal experience. That wasn't the first or only poor interaction I had asking for help trying to learn. You also are not helping make the case that the Common Lisp community is fine. Your response completely ignores the actual issue which makes it feel like a passive aggressive attack. I don't know, that probably wasn't your intent. But I already stated that I had extremely poor experiences with the community so I'm not exactly primed to give the benefit of the doubt.

There is no single 'Common Lisp community' and I have no idea how all the various groups are doing. I know lots of great people in the Common Lisp community. It would make me sad to see them labelled as 'toxic'.
