ningle

Roswell comes to mind for application building and distro management. Add in ningle for web app building and woo for the server (the benchmarks are really good), and you're basically good to go. I think the main problem is there's too many implementations of the same thing in CL, so devs basically have to agree on a very specific subset of tools for every project, which adds a fair bit of overhead. https://roswell.github.io/ https://github.com/fukamachi/woo https://github.com/fukamachi/ningle p.s. Not the author, but a big fan.

Lisp Programmer here, - quicklisp is the default for package management. If you need to load a different version of a package you can use the local projects dir. I've never used Qi before, so I really can't say anything on it. - For a framework I would recommend either Clack[1] (relatively small but featureful) or Ningle[2] (micro-framework).Both support multiple backends including Huntchentoot. - There are object store databases and serializers like cl-store and cl-prevalence, but if you really want to take full advantage of Lisp I would recommend you use hash tables and reader macros. There's also plenty of mature (by lisp standards anyway) SQL APIs and ORMs like postmodern[3]. - For hosting I use AWS, haven't used anything else so can't say much on it.

Framework: Caveman2[0] or Ningle[1], which run on Clack[2] (like Rack/WSGI), which supports five backend servers. Templates: Djula[3], closure-template[4]. ORM: Crane[5], Postmodern[6].

"The most popular web server for CL, Hunchentoot hasn't been touched (based on the darcs repo anyway) since Tue, 24 Aug 2010." That statement is just untrue, take a look yourself. https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/commits/master Also there is an active community in Japan from what I can gather from github.com They done cl-annot[1], which is a way to annotate functions with the @ syntax from python. Clack[2], the WSGI-equivalent for cl. And the Caveman[3] and Ningle[4] webframeworks.

The announcement speaks as if web applications in Common Lisp was itself a solved problem. The community surrounding that isn't exactly vibrant. An example from an attempt to find a viable/nice Common Lisp templating library for making web apps (a problem for me before, I hate CL-WHO. Vile.) http://www.cl-user.net/asp/U5Hd/sdataQGW2OvQLz758DQdX8yMX8yB... Hrm. Yes. Hrm. Seems promising, exceeeept... https://groups.google.com/group/cl-terrace/web/djula The Google Group for it has...disappeared? http://common-lisp.net/project/bpm/darcs/djula/ Yay, code! That hasn't been touched since 2008! CL-WHO, which I think is the most popular way to solve this problem hasn't been touched in 2 to 7 months, depending on how you measure it.
