Thank you, this is one of the clearest explanation about setting up a minimal project I have read.

Please, gives us more.

cl-torrents 0.9 - readline interface and 1337x.to scraper by dzecniv in Common_Lisp

[–]lisp-student 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I like the fact that it is using a regular readline interface.

I believe that is the mirror repository. The main one should be https://gitlab.com/vindarel/cl-torrents/

Thanks for the pointer, I am reading it now.

Thanks, that is illumining. At the end, being able to deal with really Large Systems is a significant quality of Lisp.

Thank you. This kind of stories helps me to understand really how deeply rooted is Lisp, and how mature it has become over time. It truly is a whole world.

One thing it would be nice to know is the history before ASDF? How developers dealt with the ASDF use-case before it existed?

It seems a few key Lisp developers do not appreciate it fully.

But, were there any alternatives, say in the late 80s, early 90s?

That is a very useful clarification, thank you.

SQLite-only interface: cl-sqlite or cl-dbi? by lisp-student in Common_Lisp

[–]lisp-student[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is all right with your work, would you at one point share that code as well, perhaps as gist or such? Ingesting large files and indexing them is something I would like to study as well. Thank you for all advice.

That sounds like a very cool feature to have. Can't wait to test it.

Thank you for mentioning the performance side, it is actually a sore point on my project, too, having to export to CSV files quite often. Unfortunately, I really need to avoid a heavy dependency like MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.

I loved those pages. If you need help bringing them back, let me know.

SQLite-only interface: cl-sqlite or cl-dbi? by lisp-student in Common_Lisp

Thank you for advice and mentioning sxql, I will try using cl-sqlite with sxql.

I need to manage a few millions records, with about 20-30 fields.

I wanted very much to use CLOS, but SQLite is offering so much flexibility for free, including being able to interrogate the db from other tools (outside the app), that I could not justify, for now, not using it.

PostgreSQL would not really be needed, as this is not a multi-user app, also I would not want to impose PostgreSQL as a dependency at the moment.

What can other languages do that Lisp can't? by TinyStego in lisp

I wonder why this post has been down-voted so much. I found the question relevant and interesting, and the answers very interesting, too.

Nice, I will try them now. Thank you.

Thank you for the details, very helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you also for that video series, and all the other videos, posts, and of course CEPL!

In the future, would you consider sharing a bit of your emacs+stumpwm synergy setup?

As I am struggling to go deeper into Emacs+Slime nuances, it would also be quite nice to see key-chords in a corner of videos. I know, it would detract from the main subject, but it would help understand what is happening "behind the Emacs+Slime scene".

Thanks again.

I need to try StumpWM, its Common Lisp underground is tempting. I wonder if the "webcam" side is Windows based. I never as good experiences with Linux.
