Hi. I'm trying various lisps as Perl alternatives for simple CGI scripts. Some Scheme implementations are quite good, both as interpreters and as compilers; none is perfect, and worse they are all different, with small incompatibilities. Even Clisp is "light" enough. (I know that the right way with Common Lisp is to have a separate server, linked to the HTTP server in some way, etc. That's not the point, I'm tring to do simple CGI scripts.) I like GOO, but it's a bit hard to understand how to use it. (Hey, I'm not alone...) As I understand, it's not possible to launch GOO with a script, as in "goo foo.goo" or "goo -bar foo.goo". (That also means that the "#!" syntax is not supported...) It's possible to use "goo < foo.goo", but the standard output is filled with some REPL-(in this case)-garbage. That makes writing CGI scripts a bit hard. Any suggestions, hints, docs? Am I missing something? Or should I wait. -- "Waiting for what?" -- For Arc? ;-) Thanks, -- Giovanni Pensa <[email protected]>
