Message-ID: Hi List, I've been exploring Common Lisp lately, with the idea to write my future project in it. It is going to be mostly a XMPP server component, talking to some server (probably Prosody) via the XMPP component protocol. I am newbie in both XMPP and Common Lisp and I have lots of questions, but here are (some of) my first ones: 1. Is CL a "practical" solution for doing it? I'm not trying to discard it, just the contrary. I like Lisp and I'm trying hard to choose it over Python, node.js and lua. But if it's going to give me too much hard time (not counting the time learning the language, which I am willing to invest in), I'd choose one of the above. 2. Is cl-xmpp suitable for doing it? I understand that I will probably need to extend it, I'm OK with that (of course, if it's not too much work) 3. Do you know of some other library that would be better fit than cl-xmpp for doing my project? 4. Has anyone of you written xmpp components in CL. Could you please refer me to some examples? I'd be happy to see such, even if they are not fully functional, just as an introduction on how one does such things in CL. Thanks in advance, Metin Akat From akat.metin at gmail.com Sun Aug 1 20:27:00 2010 From: akat.metin at gmail.com (Metin Akat) Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2010 23:27:00 +0300 Subject: [cl-xmpp-devel] XMPP server components?
