The project is a Common Lisp interface to the CouchDB database (http://couchdb.org). Though CouchDB is accessed via a simple REST (HTTP) API, I think a certain amount of additional value can be provided by a library of Lisp functions which encapsulate the database API. For example, this project provides a translation of data into and out of CouchDB's wire data representation (Json strings), It is also hoped that this project will provide some degree of isolation from CouchDB API changes. The current state of the code is functional, but the API will likely change for the following reasons: 1) CouchDB itself is in a pre-alpha, version 0.7-ish, state and not yet feature complete. 2) CouchDB is, for me at least, a new kind of database. I expect my understanding of how it is used to evolve as I become more familiar with it, and I hope to reflect any new insight in the Lisp API, when appropriate.

My name is Dan Weinreb. I was one of the co-designers of Common Lisp, and co-founders of Symbolics. I am almost finished writing a paper called "Common Lisp Implementations: A Survey". I'd like to find a home for it on the web so that people can read it. Would it be possible to put it on your web site? Below, I have included the beginning of the paper so you can see what kind of thing it is. The text below is in "REST"; it will be automatically translated into HTML. Thank you. -- Dan Weinreb (dlw at alum.mit.edu) ----------------------------- ===================================== Common Lisp Implementations: A Survey ===================================== by Daniel Weinreb (dlw at alum.mit.edu) Version 1 There has been a new wave of interest in Common Lisp over the last few years. This paper is a November, 2007 survey of Common Lisp implementations that are currently being actively maintained. It also provides references to writings about why Lisp is interesting and important, Lisp textbooks, and useful Lisp resources including repositories of available libraries. I hope it will help you find the right implementation for your project or product. How did I pick the implementations to include in the survey? Research on the Internet showed that of all the implementations, some were full-fledged in their time, but have been abandoned for one reason or another, and some don't really count as being the Common Lisp dialect. There are ten real currently-maintained implementations. I judged this by seeing which implementations were currently being supported by prominent libraries and tools, by seeing whether there was active mail/news/etc. traffic about the implementation, by searching the web and asking around. Obviously this was something of a judgement call on my part. If I omitted any, it was certainly not on purpose. Please let me know if there are others. I did not run the implementations. I did not do any benchmark (performance) comparisons of runtime or compiler speed, and you'll find little in this paper about performance. I did not attempt to independently verify the answers to the survey. No organization endorses this paper. In particular, the web site on which you found this paper does not endorse it and bears no resposibility for its contents. I feel very confident that everybody who responded to the survey did so in good faith. Any errors are entirely my fault. Please send corrections to me. This survey only covers implementations of the Common Lisp dialect (ANSI Standard X3J13), not any other Lisp dialects, nor Scheme. The primary design work for the initial Common Lisp was mainly 1982, with the ANSI X3J13 standard following mainly in 1994, roughly speaking. Guy L. Steele Jr. was the editor of the initial specification. He, Dave Moon, Richard Gabriel, Scott Fahlman, and I were the primary designers, although of course the design drew very heavily on preceeding dialects. Papers about the history of Common Lisp are referenced below (see "Resources"). In my opinion, having multiple supported implementations of a language, rather than merely one canonical implementation, is a sign of a robust and vibrant language. There are many Java implementations (e.g. JRockit), many Python implementations (JPython, IronPython), and so on. These Common Lisp implementations do a very good job of meeting the official X3J13 language standard, and it's very easy, often no work at all, to make an application developed in one run in another if you stay within the defined language.
