Craig BrozefskyI spent some pleasant hours yesterday hacking on my #openbsd port
of #lem. The dependency on async-process led me to forking that
project and making a version which will build the .so it needs if it's
not one of the three pre-built so. I had to do the same with with the
terminal extension in Lem itself.
The #quicklisp and #qlot tools are new to me, and I'm learning just
enough to be dangerous. I did run into an issue where a qlot git
dependency will break if the top level program, lem in this case, has
a .gitignore file. It appears that the qlot cloning will honor the
parent gitignore.
All of this makes me very grateful for the work done on the
#commonlisp tooling over the last decade or so. It's also really
apparent how much this is all a gift, from others -- because the
community is so small. I have had to adjust my expectations, and it
made me realize just how much I take for granted in the software
ecosystem, and the level of polish and work I have come to feel
entitled too.
