Man I really wish I had some kind of tool that translates Python code into Common Lisp, which would then 'just work'... then I could more easily set things up, since I could just connect to the image and make the necessary changes, instead of having to write a file, and then restart the process hoping that I haven't broken anything.

Common Lisp is powerful because of its interactivity - you can make a change, try to compile, and it'll not only throw an error, but also keep on running with the already-working code without a hitch.

I'm sure there's some jank workaround in Python that lets you connect to the process and do the same thing, but with Lisp, it's just built-in.

@phil well, it's definitely not what you want but it does what you want; have you tried minikube?

#k8s gives you the ability to cut a deployment that either works and spins down your previously running code, or fails and uh, doesn't.

@ketmorco Please no, the last thing I want is to deal with another layer of BS that requires maintenance on top of the existing infra.

There is no salvation in containers, especially when it creates more admin work on top of existing GRP requirements.
