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,
