anamorphic_
Hi, I have a bunch of lisp files and I want to create a static cross reference for them (perhaps building something like LXR) - is xref.lisp from the AI repo my best bet as a starting point?

anamorphic_: yes. Also, it has been included in slime/swank, so perhaps it's modernized in there?

Nomenclatura: Hard to know. But that's not a topic for this channel. This channel is dedicated to Common Lisp.

Furthermore, there is no widespread agreement about what languages are Lisp dialects. So whether Clojure is one or not is not something people agree about.

We occasionally have some digressions, but we generally try to stick to conversations about lisp and keep other topics in ##lisp or #lispcafe

how is web scraping and data analysis with common lisp? I've been using python with scrapy and pandas to get up to speed, was wondering if lisp has anything that offers similar convenience

for HTML searching, there's lquery which I've used, and cl-ppcre is pretty good at searching plain text

fiddlerwoaroof, no-defun-allowed: awesome, thanks. I'm hoping to move towards CL for that workflow eventually, I still have awhile to go getting comfortable with pandas though
