Hey guys, I'm very new at this, and I'm not sure where to start from. I would like to write a cli tool in lisp (common lisp, probably I'll be using sbcl if that matters) to search results in urban dictionary. After some search I came across this: https://github.com/zdict/zdict/wiki/Urban-dictionary-API-documentation . Using curl and piping the output to jq (json parser) this gives me a pretty-printed json

output. How would I be able to mimic the curl part in lisp? Which libraries should I be looking at? any ideas?

once I get that curl part in lisp I suppose I should be searching for a json parser in lisp as well

Bike: I'm confused, I'm not sure if hunchentoot is what I'm seeking for. Isn't hunchentoot a webserver say, like nginx or apache?

Speaking of hunchentoot, now my SSL cert checking application is starting to be in pretty usable shape: https://bitbucket.org/turkja/mitmcheck

Theoretical question: if i ever wanted to distribute this thing to, let's say windows users, how realistic that would be?

Guest34211: thanks.. now looking at it, i think it's a good example of why Lisp never conquered the world :) I mean for people who write Lisp programs, setup like that is natural, but for others... not so much :D

turkja: If C never conquered the world, people would point to its flaws like lack of any safety and the terribly complex way to build things.

turkja
aeth: yeah, you are correct.. historically speaking, i see no reason why lisp is in such a marigin, but as of now, deployment is not very easy.

jmercouris: some was making a valid not in reddit/lisp: FF57 doesn't anymore have api's needed to run for example Conkeror (afaik - tested it, crash and burn), there definitely is a market for your browser project

emaczen: It is not bound to anything. The meaning of T as a stream depends on the context.

dmiles: SICL doesn't do well at all on ANSI tests, for the simple reason that SICL doesn't exist yet.

I've loaded the library with quicklisp changed into it's package but the examples aren't working
