[Bese-devel] ucw_ajax does not build

[Lou Vanek]

it sounds like your lisp is trying to call
the following function in (arnesi_dev) io.lisp:

(defmacro defprint-object ((self class-name &key (identity t) (type t))
                            &body body)

if that's the case, the lamba list "(uri uri :identity nil) body"
is a valid macro call.

maybe your version of sbcl is old?

all public versions can be accessed at,
http://uncommon-web.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi

there are only two public branches that i'm aware
of that are maintained:      ucw_dev, ucw_ajax

i like your idea of minimizing javascript. Javascript runs so slow and takes
so long to download that it's a real drain when you're trying to create an
application with fast response times.

i'd be more impressed, however, if you were able to shrink dojo.js.
Dojo seems to be a great way to build intranet apps, but not convinced
it's lean enough to work in the wild. I've been experimenting with
jquery and ucw. Getting much better response times.

good luck,
