14:32:51patience_That is so very hard to wrap my head around.
14:35:33pjbpatience_: in your case you want to use ,',sym This is a comon pattern in double backquote expressions.
14:36:46beachpjb: Ah thanks, I was just about to try to figure out what was meant.
14:38:56patience_pjb: Ah thanks. That makes sense. I see what is happening now.
14:41:57pjbyou may rewrite the defmacro without backquote to better see it. https://termbin.com/imjg
14:42:28pjbas you can see, you need to wrap sym in a (list 'quote sym) this is waht ,',sym does when you use backquotes.
14:45:45patience_I can see that I was trying to use an unquoted symbol in my macrolet, which means that it was trying to use the value bound to the symbol. Is definitely a tricky thing to hold in the head haha
14:46:23patience_Thanks for the indepth explanation
0:55:00kakuhendepending on what exactly the clisp resource uses, you may be able to get away with using usocket
0:55:17kakuhenit should give you the relevant sbcl socket calls when using it
0:56:13kakuhenanyway, assuming your serve function is set up correctly, can you trace the function that gets given that octet sequence
1:03:04pjbivche: you don't specify an :element-type to sockets, so it's character by default, therefore it uses an encoding. Since you didn't specify a common :external-format, it's the default one in each process that is used. Probably not the same.
