  • Is It Possible to Rewrite a syscall from C in Common Lisp?
    4 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 21 Oct 2022
    It's possible, but you can observe how much trouble it can be in opsys , which doesn't depend on any C headers or do any grovelling. You may be suprised the amount of syscall instability papered over by libc.

  • Anyone Here Played With Shcl or Yew?
    7 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 8 Apr 2021
    I have plans to develop a shell that handles both POSIX shell script and common-lips, likely by simply passing the s-expressions to a REPL such as sbcl, but as I am very new to common-lisp I know that I will not having something fully working anytime soon, I am okay with that all is fun in learning right? I have, however, been hankering to find a new shell recently that can at least provide me with the basics of what I plan to create, a simple shell that can handle POSIX scripting and common-lisp interactively. For this I did some research and read this blog post. I have looked around at different dual shells and found that shcl and yew seem to be the most promising for my temporary use until my own shell is ready. My question here is, has anyone used either of these extensively? I am not expecting something that can give me what zsh does, I only use it for syntax highlighting anyway lol, but rather if either of these shells would be on par, interactively, with something like ksh (the shell I am most use too) i.e. basic tab completion, customizable prompt and anything else is a bonus. Does anyone here have experiences with stress testing either of these shells?

  • Improving REPL experience in terminal?
    11 projects | /r/lisp | 17 May 2023
    Now, it's only personal, but I like to fire one-off shell commands… can we escape the Lisp REPL or not? If not, we could use a shell pass-through, for example "! ls" with clesh. Ruricolist's cmd is nice to have too. This is becoming an heresy, but what if we could fire a shell command and interpret its result with a Lisp function, or mix and match the two? Lish is doing an awesome work already, although it's a difficult field. Interactive commands like sudo and htop work there, at least. It ships a Lisp REPL and a debugger for the terminal too (similar to Roswell, then).

    Hi there. I'd enjoy help on anything web development for openbookstore: https://github.com/OpenBookStore/openbookstore (especially now: setting up i18n) Or, we could work on the terminal REPL experience for the CIEL meta-package: https://github.com/ciel-lang/CIEL/ We could use a better base like cl-repl or better yet, Lish.
