  • cmd

    Utility for running external programs (by ruricolist)

  • Some ideas/reminders/pointers: do not miss uiop:run-process and launch-process to run (a)sync programs; see cmd for an easier to use equivalent; see file-object-finder for a high-level lib around files (it handles file permissions). clawk replaces AWK.

  • fof

    File object finder Common Lisp library

  • Some ideas/reminders/pointers: do not miss uiop:run-process and launch-process to run (a)sync programs; see cmd for an easier to use equivalent; see file-object-finder for a high-level lib around files (it handles file permissions). clawk replaces AWK.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • clawk

    CLAWK is an AWK implementation embedded into Common Lisp, by Michael Parker. This version contains some patches to make it compile again.

  • lish

    Lisp Shell

  • [Lish](https://github.com/nibbula/lish is a lisp shell, in development but usable.

  • clesh

    CLESH a very short and simple program, written in Common Lisp, that extends Common Lisp to embed shell code in a manner similar to perl's backtick.

  • Clesh - extends Common Lisp to embed shell code in a manner similar to perl's backtick. (I read awesome-cl) It could ease the process to include external calls.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
