I am currently moving over to a repl, either cl-repl or sbcl with some interactive extensions, and am hitting one issue. I do not use a display manager to start a graphical environment, but instead use my .login as a script to start either my graphical environment or my multiplexor. While porting this to common-lisp would be trivial, the one issue is that it would run every time I spawn a REPL. As far as I know there are no versions of a .login file for either cl-repl or sbcl. Does anyone know if there is a way to check if a REPL is running as a login shell or of an extension to implement this functionality? If not it is not the end of the world as I can just write an explicit function and manually call it, but it would be nice to have.
(defun cheat (&optional (target-program nil)) "Show quick tips and usage information for target-program." (if (not target-program) (uiop:run-program (list "curl" "-fLm" "7" "https://cheat.sh/") :output *standard-output*) (uiop:run-program (list "curl" "-fLm" "7" (concatenate 'string "https://cheat.sh/" target-program)) :output *standard-output*)))
In order to get syntax highlighting as well as tab completion I have been using cl-repl. I have been having this issue, as well as another issue with cl-repl inheriting some stuff, but do not seem to have the same issue in sbcl either. Could it be a bug in cl-repl? Is there a solid alternative for sbcl?
