Name is uncomfortably close to "Lucene"
- techwizrd 11y agoAgreed. It would also be nice to see a simple snippet of source on the front page similar to Flask[0] or Iron[1]. Perhaps something above or to the right of the " 0: http://flask.pocoo.org/ http://flask.pocoo.org/ 1: http://ironframework.io/ http://ironframework.io/
- skeuomorf 11y agoWell, there's kinda an example in the docs [0]. Kinda related: this appears to be built on the Clack webserver and its homepage lists code snippets of Lucerne alternatives that are built on top of Clack as well [1].

- techwizrd 11y agoI read through the Twitter-clone example in the docs after I posted my comment. The Twitter-clone is a little bit longer than a quick snippet. I just wanted something that showed a route pointing to an index function returning a hello world and a line of code starting the server. Also, it is definitely Flask inspired. I might have to do a more in depth comparison of the two.
- eggy 11y agoI had immediate association of Lucerne with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and for some odd reason CERN's LHC, the particle collider, in Geneva, Switzerland. Funny how associations bubble up. Why uncomfortable? Not a nitpick, just trying to grok what you wrote. I am very happy to see a CL framework along the lines of flask. I prefer CL to python, although, I use python too, and appreciate its ubiquity - in Blender3D, FreeCad, Vectorworks, etc... I am in the middle of the 1990 book, The Architecture of Symbolic Computers, by Peter M. Kogge. Amazing book. All about non-Von Neumann architectures, Lisp and functional programming.
- rubiquity 11y agoLucerne is also name of the brand that Safeway/Von's/Pavillion's uses for their dairy products.
- nemoniac 11y agoLucerne is a city in Switzerland. It exists for about 1200 years longer than Lucene. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucerne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucerne
