[Solved] Suggestion to add common lisp as cgi

[webdevs]

First of all, thanks for the service.

 

I'd like to use common lisp as cgi. There is no hosting in the world with that feature.

I guess it won't cost so much to add an interpreter for common lisp.

The best choice is sbcl, which sure has a binary for linux. And the second one is clisp.

 

Lisp is a very special language and could be an interesting feature to have and call more possible members.

 

I guess it's easy to add it as cgi, since it only needs an interpreter, and sbcl is very available and easy to install. Also common lisp is a very mature language, and sbcl the best implementation. If you consider it, could be a nice feature to add, and can create some interest for a lot of users. Ofc If you add common lisp, specially sbcl I'll say to all lispers that you've added a lisp cgi for that host. And they could even be donators.

 

Thanks for your time.

Lets see what Krydos says. We've been known to consider odd or rarely supported languages, so if it's easy to install and run like Python CGI is, it might be doable.

SBCL 1.4.0-1.el7 has been installed on Johnny. To get started with lisp as a cgi create a file named lisp.cgi in public_html/cgi-bin/ with permissions 755 and the contents:

#!/usr/bin/sbcl --script

(format t "Content-type: text/html~%~%")
(format t "Lisp as CGI is working.")
