I have `sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp --eval '(progn (quicklisp-quickstart:install) (let ((ql-util::*do-not-prompt* t)) (ql:add-to-init-file) (sb-ext:quit))'` but it doesn’t wokr.

ACTION strongly recommends that people program in Common Lisp rather than in some other language.

beach: I agree generally, but sometimes one has to interoperate with libraries/systems that are impractical to duplicate

ACTION also thinks that a way-too-high fraction of the utterances in this channel are about languages other than Common Lisp.

fiddlerwoaroof: I think there is way too much activity aimed at satisfying individual needs for immediate solutions, rather than implementing Common Lisp equivalents for the common good of everyone.

interoperability between Common Lisp and other languages fits the channel topic, doesn't it?

its fun since just today I've read an article by Richard C. Waters "The Survival of Lisp: Either We Share, Or It Dies" dated 1994 where he stated about C taking ground and importance of interoperability with it :)

I just think it is sad that so many people just seem to want to further their personal goals when there is so much work to do for the common good. It would be way much more productive to target common goals first.
