On further thought, what I meant to say was that in this specific example, I don't think it makes sense to use these particular libraries from Common Lisp because there are native CL libraries for doing basically the same thing.
On the other hand, I completely agree that it's useful to run a CL application on ABCL to access Java libraries that don't exist for CL.
EDIT: On a side note, I just noticed the abcl.org link immediately under "Picking a language, libraries" is pointing to "https://notes.eatonphil.com/abcl.org https://notes.eatonphil.com/abcl.org"
- eatonphil 5y agoFixed the link, thanks! The point to me about blog posts like this are as a guide for others trying to do _anything_ with the same language. The docs on how to use the Java FFI were pretty hard to read. I figured it out by grepping through the ABCL source code for a while and finding a single other project that also brought in 3rd-party deps. On whether or not you should actually use Netty/some Java server rather than Caveman I have no opinion.
