Why is something so seemingly simple (sane package management) so hard to accomplish?
Quicklisp is pretty bad but at least it's -somewhat- comprehensible and Lispy. Going over ocicl, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What is ORAS, "artifacts", "OCI registries" and why should I care? Why is systems.csv CSV and not .lisp? What is this 9MB binary (no source) named "oras" doing checked into the repository?
If I wanted all this enterpriseitis I wouldn't be using Common Lisp. I think that's a big strike against ocicl.
- nerdponx 3y agoThere's also CLPM which behaves a lot more like a normal package manager from any other language. I don't understand why it needs to be so hard in CL in general. Half baked tooling is the number one thing keeping people away from CL in my opinion.
