Re: Hunchentoot question

The biggest drawback is that any port below 1024 is reserved for root. You could setgui as described in this post, but it's probably just easier to run a reverse proxy server like nginx in front of it.

Re: Lisp Debugger

I don't know about a tutorial, but I found the following links helpful when I was recently looking for something similar. SLDB: the SLIME debugger SBCL Debugger And a few chapters from Successful Lisp were informative: How to Find Your Way Around, Part 1 How to Find Your Way Around, Part 2 How to Fi...

Must Know Libs

So after you search through the Hyperspec for a function you just know has to be in there somewhere, what libraries to you look at next? I know ALEXANDRIA and CL-UTILITIES have a lot of useful functions not in the standard, but I'm also thinking of things like CL-PPCRE which provide some basic tools...

Re: Fibonacci recursion -argh

You can ask lisp what it sees, (trace fibo) Which will output he following now: * (fibo 5) 0: (FIBO 5) 1: (FIBO 4) 2: (FIBO 3) 3: (FIBO 2) 4: (FIBO 1) 4: FIBO returned 1 4: (FIBO 0) 4: FIBO returned 1 3: FIBO returned 2 3: (FIBO 1) 3: FIBO returned 1 2: FIBO returned 3 2: (FIBO 2) 3: (FIBO 1) 3: FIB...

Re: Which HTTP Server?

Yes, I'm looking at using a VPS - how small is too small for Huchentoot? 256? 512? or is more needed?

Thanks for the responses all.

Which HTTP Server?

Hi, I'm looking to deploy a CL web app and was wondering what the general feeling was about which HTTP server to use? From what I gather the more popular ones are AllegroServe , Hunchentoot , or using mod_lisp . Does anyone have experience with one or the other, and which would you recommend? Obviou...

Got any good examples of CL in action?

I'm trying to build up my Common Lisp vocabulary by looking through code examples and noting commonly used functions and idioms. Since CL has been around for awhile, I was wondering if anyone had some pointers to particularly good examples of applications or libraries that would be better for study....

Thinking in Clojure vs Common Lisp

Hi, I'm relatively new to the Lisp world aside from hacking on my .emacs. I'm reading through my beta copy of Programming Clojure, and there seems to be more of focus on creating lazy sequences as opposed to recursive functions (mostly because of the lack of tail call optimization in the JVM). I was...
