23:20:05 Ukari is defmacro has different with eval in efficiency?

23:23:55 Ukari for example, (defmacro excute (&body expr) `(progn ,@expr)) (excute (print "foo") (print "bar")) and (eval (list 'progn (list 'print "foo") (list 'print "bar")))

23:26:58 Bike you're comparing apples and oranges

23:57:17 White_Flame defmacro will give your expr to be compiled at compiled time, and run at runtime

23:57:33 White_Flame eval will compile and run at runtime (for implementations which auto-compile)

23:58:04 White_Flame plus, since macros return source code that art part of a compilation unit, they're better tied to their surroundings than a standalone eval

23:58:11 White_Flame *are

23:59:03 White_Flame especially since macros can be inside lexical scopes

0:37:22 White_Flame Are there examples of binary websockets served by CL somewhere?

1:11:56 LdBeth Any recommendations on persistent object store implementations

1:12:22 akkad LdBeth: sure, leveldb, lmdb, and manardb

1:12:47 akkad the first two use cffi and external libs, but manardb only uses osicat

1:14:00 akkad manardb uses clos, and is the more lispy

1:14:50 LdBeth Thanks, I will have a look

1:18:25 LdBeth akkad: I saw manardb only support Linux

1:25:01 akkad it works on macos too

1:25:32 akkad https://github.com/danlentz/manardb might work on bsds as well

1:28:41 LdBeth akkad: Got it.
