ultralisp VS doc

If it reduces your pain, you can add it to https://ultralisp.org without any hussle.

- as a dockerized daemon (here is my Dockerfile describing a few microservices: https://github.com/ultralisp/ultralisp/blob/master/Dockerfile)

Other options are:

- Quicklisp -really slick, libraries in there are curated. (with https support here: https://github.com/rudolfochrist/ql-https and here: https://github.com/snmsts/quicklisp-https.git)

- for project-local dependencies like virtualenv: https://github.com/fukamachi/qlot

- a new, more traditional one: https://www.clpm.dev (CLPM comes as a pre-built binary, supports HTTPS by default, supports installing multiple package versions, supports versioned systems, and more)

For recent Quicklisp upgrades: http://ultralisp.org/

Ocicl is very new (5 days) and tries a new approach, building "on tools from the world of containers".

I'm the author and I'm using Emacs + SLY. Happily switched to Emacs from VIM about 10 years ago when decided to invest all my free time into Common Lisp.

And yes, I have real project experience – a lot of Commmon Lisp libraries at https://github.com/40ants and also I'm developing a hosting for CL library distributions: https://ultralisp.org

So far openapi-generator is mostly tested on linux/sbcl and it should work for most spec files. It would be great to have some criticism/feedback/improvement ideas. You can download it from Ultralisp via (ql:quickload :openapi-generator)(you may need to update first (ql:update-dist "ultralisp"))

See also Ultralisp, a Quicklisp distribution that builds every 5 minutes: https://ultralisp.org/ where you can publish packages.

There is also a repository behind Ultralisp.org: https://github.com/ultralisp/ultralisp

Quicklisp ships releases once a month, so it is very possible it didn't pick the latest release yet.

Your solution is to clone the repository into ~/quicklisp/local-projects/.

Another one would be to use the Ultralisp distribution, that ships every five minutes. https://ultralisp.org/

(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/"

- it is possible to subscribe on the changes using RSS (this is a feature of the 40ANTS-DOC documentation builder).

So, the article is harsh on CL: YMMV. Also, your goal may vary: I want to build and ship (web) applications, and so far Julia doesn't look attractive to me (at all). Super fast incremental development, build a standalone binary and deploy on my VPS or ship an Electron window? done. Problem(s) solved, let's focus on my app please.

The author doesn't mention a few helpful things:

- editor support: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... Emacs is first class, Portacle is an Emacs easy to install (3 clicks), Vim, Atom support is (was?) very good, Sublime Text seems good (it has an interactive debugger with stack frame inspection), VSCode sees good work underway, the Alive extension is new, usable but hard to install yet, LispWorks is proprietary and is more like Smalltalk, with many graphical windows to inspect your running application, Geany has simple and experimental support, Eclipse has basic support, Lem is a general purpose editor written in CL, it is Emacs-like and poorely documented :( we have Jupyter notebooks and simpler terminal-based interactive REPLs: cl-repl is like ipython.

So, one could complain five years ago easily about the lack of editor support, know your complaint should be more evolved than a Emacs/Vim dichotomy.

- package managers: Quicklisp is great, very slick and the ecosystem is very stable. When/if you encounter its limitations, you can use: Ultralisp, a Quicklisp distribution that ships every 5 minutes (but it doesn't check that all packages load correctly together), Qlot is used for project-local dependencies, where you pin each one precisely, CLPM is a new package manager that fixes some (all?) Quicklisp limitations

> [unicode, threading, GC…] All of these features are left to be implemented by third-party libraries

this leads to think that no implementation implements unicode or threading support O_o

> most of the language proper is not generic

mention generic-cl? https://github.com/alex-gutev/generic-cl/ (tried quickly, not intensively)

Documentation: fair points, but improving etc. Example of a new doc generator: https://40ants.com/doc/

Also I'd welcome a discussion about Coalton (Haskell-like type system on top of CL).

Great news! Feedback: I guess it's time to start working on documentation ;) The readme doesn't say what the system does. I guess you could maintain a high overview "manually", and in parallel set up a documentation system (40ants doc is kinda cool). Best,

- and 40ANTS-DOC builder.

That is why I've put about half of this year into the Common Lisp documentation generator for all of my libraries.

If you are interested, please read it's docs and join the effort of making good documentation for CL projects: https://40ants.com/doc/

And the doc is built with the new https://40ants.com/doc 🎉 Really cool.
