I've been running various apps in production for years and haven't had issues, but I don't know (or care) what kindsa loads I get.
16:19:12
shinmera
Well, one thing is that it should not impose a whole lot. You can avoid or disable features if you need to. The other is that (through the interface mechanism) things that many apps need (like sessions, authentication, users, profiles, etc.) should be shared to reduce the burden on users.

I'm not sure what I would write about in a review. I don't feel like I have enough experience with other frameworks to compare in a useful way.
16:34:27
Colleen
Well, I don't care about comparisons, I just just a small pitch on why I should continue (even though I will). I just need some motivation that is all

I wrote a lot of apps with Radiance and I generally enjoy the process. As much as one can enjoy webdev, anyway.
16:36:18
shinmera
All of the apps I wrote are public on the Shirakumo org, so if you want to have a look at stuff, there you go.

Also, your website is very fast. And you provide many features in one bundle which is in Common Lisp.

I'm not sure which one counts as the biggest, if you're worried about scale, but Courier is the latest and one of the bigger ones, I suppose.
16:40:00
shinmera
So like https://irclog.tymoon.eu https://blog.tymoon.eu https://courier.tymoon.eu/subscription/1 https://studio.tymoon.eu

No matter, I'm already sold. However I still don't understand the multiple apps from one process thing

so if you register an account for one of them you can re-use it for all the others.

It runs a bunch of other stuff besides radiance. My chat network which the channel you're posting on is bridged to, bots, gitlab/gitea, etc.
16:52:19
shinmera
They have another service that's even cheaper for backups, arctic? or something? but I was too lazy to figure out if that would be better for what I'm doing.
16:55:35
shinmera
I typically write my apps in such a way that no JS is needed, so I'm not too interested in heavy frontend solutions.
17:02:11
shinmera
When you click a button or whatever, that's a different URL, so the browser sends a new request to the server, and you get a new page. That's all.
17:04:44
shinmera
Eg look at the buttons at the top right above the images here https://studio.tymoon.eu/view/6
17:05:39
shinmera
Anyhow. That's just how I like to do it. as I said, if you find JS easier or find you need it, you can certainly include it.
17:06:46
shinmera
JS to me is something that runs on the client's browser. You can't use Common Lisp there.
17:08:46
shinmera
JSCL is very incomplete, and would also be a huge JS blob to attach to every page.
17:09:42
shinmera
I don't particularly enjoy transpilers that have to break the abstractions they purport to sell every now and again because of incompatible semantics.
17:10:10
shinmera
And then I don't mind writing the little JS I do write by hand, so I never saw a need to dig for Parenscript and learn how to use it.
17:10:51
Colleen
So basically, for front end, you use HTML, CSS and JS. For backend, you use Radiance.

After seeing this way, I now realize how overcomplicated they have made Web development.

Granted, when you have something that's highly interactive like a chat client or whatever, a JS framework can help a lot, since you have to write everything in JS anyway. But for most things just serving some html that you generated on the server well suffices. Maybe with some JS sprinkled on top to handle things like inputs nicely.
17:16:23
Colleen
Well, my question now: How could you write a chat client like you supposed, with just Common Lisp and little Javascript?
17:16:23
hamza

17:17:43
shinmera
If the chat doesn't have to be super serious, I'd just make a REST endpoint that gives new messages since a timestamp that the client JS polls for every now and again.

More from old videos about from gameengine videos from a guy who is now working somewhere else. He mentioned you trial engine a couple of times.

Shinmera, I apologize if this is intruding, and if you don't mind, do you work somewhere or only on your own projects?

I used to play the violin and saxophone as a kid. But I never posted anything online.
17:30:27

Oh, was asking because someone thought they saw your animations somewhere in a music video.

Huh. Well, again, dunno of anyone using my art in videos, but anyone can if they want to.
17:37:49
Colleen
Just one last thing, when are you free to talk here? And can I ask questions inside of Radiance here too?

Thanks a bunch for taking out your time to talk with me. I really do apreciate it greatly. (I am CodeBitCookie for people who have seen me elsewhere)

radiance was discussed recently on #lispcafe iirc, so it attracts some outside interest
17:44:37
shinmera
Granted I probably don't like my own name both because there's very little about myself in general that I like, and because I don't like to be reminded of myself, either.

There's something odd about Dissect. I pushed a bunch of its environment traces into a list called *stacks*, then tried to read one with (dissect::environment-stack (nth 0 *stacks*))

I got an error: Evaluation aborted on #<TYPE-ERROR expected-type: SB-INT:INDEX, datum: #<unknown immediate object, lowtag=#b1001, widetag=#x59 {50201E0300005059}>>.

However, when I right-clicked the environment object and used "inspect" in Emacs, it displayed just fine

shinmera
if you can, best to purify the traces of all references to stuff that you don't know/need.
18:47:11
shinmera
trying to look at objects that had dynamic extent can crash your image (or do worse stuff)
18:47:37
Colleen
Is that also what causes #<DISSECT::SBCL-CALL <<error printing object>> {10260A5D63}> to show up in the trace?

The issue is that I'm seeing a large number of calls to a certain function that shouldn't be necessary, and I'm working to trace those calls to their source to find what's responsible

does anyone know how to goabout loading r-data-model via quickload in the emacs repl so I can get autocomplete and function sigs in there? (ql:quickload :r-data-model) gives me #<RADIANCE-CORE:ENVIRONMENT-NOT-SET

ugh, I still cant get proper goto definition / help docs working in doom emacs. so annoying.

shinmera, I think I missed your link the other day, can you give me the url for documentation on radiance modules? like r-clip and r-data-model
