[web4r-devel] Error conditions when loading web4r for the first time

[Tomo Matsumoto]

Hi Harrison,

> What platforms does web4r work best on?

Linux + SBCL
See detail at http://web4r.org/en/install

I am planning to support more lisp implementations within a month. The
candidates are Clozure CL and Allegro because Elephant officially
supports only those implementations.

Thanks for choosing web4r. I am really glad to hear that :)

Looks interesting.  I didn't know that. I will take a look at it and
consider that. Thanks for the info, Harrison.
