Fare Rideau's cl-launch offers a single, uniform way to invoke lisp programs from a unix shell for all of SBCL, CMUCL, clisp, GCL, OpenMCL and Allegro.
Posted by jjwiseman at October 12, 2005 10:03 PMCL-Launch will create a shell script that, when invoked, will evaluate the specified Lisp software with an appropriate Common Lisp implementation.
The software is specified as the execution, in this order, of:
- loading a small header of code that provides common cl-launch functionality
- optionally loading the contents of a FILE (option --file)
- optionally having ASDF load a SYSTEM (option --system)
- optionally evaluating a series of initialization FORMS (option --init)
Does this mean lisp is finally coming down from the ivory towers to hang out with the rest of us command-line monkeys?
Maybe lisp will be the new perl.
