[cl-xmpp-devel] XMPP server components?

[Metin Akat]

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
