I was working on a mailing list service in summer but never got around to finishing it.

Hello I wish I knew lisp. It sounds so awesome. Why do you think lisp has not taken off as the main web langauge instead of javascript?

lisp was heavily invested into in a previous AI wave. But then when overblown AI claims didn't materialize, people stigmatized the langauge instead
22:50:27
White_Flame
now that that "AI Winter" has passed by a generation or two, there's fresher interest

pyzozord: that is not an uninteresting question, but the topic of this channel is common lisp, and if you would like to talk about common lisp in some way, that's better.

also, javascript was initially designed to be a Lisp derivative, but politics demanded it be java-like for fad hotness

##lisp is a general lisp-family channel, and #clschool is for people who are learning common lisp

clothespin thanks for checking in macos. I've checked on ubuntu and it works as expected.

pyzozord: You tell me. Why didn't some other language take off as the "main web language"? Probably similar reasons.

Additionally, windows does support fstat (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/fstat-fstat32-fstat64-fstati64-fstat32i64-fstat64i32?view=vs-2019)

I think this is a windows only problem. I'll try and check #sbcl as @phoe suggested. thanks!

(also, consider anything from sb-posix to be no-go on windows, as it should be - we need a proper sb-winnt, I guess)

I read today that MSVCCRT comes bundled in every recent windows, why not make use of it?
23:04:54
clothespin
theres a pretty good manual somewhere on how to build sbcl on windows, a bit dated, but good
23:09:31
albatroz
So, what I take from this, until now, is that SBCL does support stat and fstat in windows through the use of GNU CRT and not MSVCCRT?
23:14:35
clothespin
it takes longer to set up the msys64 with gcc and binutils than probably to make the actual fix in sbcl

Today I discovered that one of the gabriel benchmarks in cl-bench has been wrong since forever https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/ansi-test/cl-bench/merge_requests/1/diffs?commit_id=5f4da018672624b28d761c1b35015a98b19653ad
