March 19, 2023How to make a Common Lisp library in 5 seconds? With tests, documentation and configured CI!
I show you how to make a Common Lisp library or web application in just 5 seconds. We will use the Mystic project template engine. Unlike other project generators, Mystic is very flexible and allows you to reuse code in templates for different projects, I tell you about this in the second part of the video.
You can use my templates, or you can create your own based on them. My templates out of the box gives the following features:
the asdf-package-inferred approach described in the video is used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1_VDtlStVo&t=1195s
the library immediately has a blank for beautiful documentation using https://40ants.com/doc/
as well as unit tests based on the Rove test framework: https://github.com/fukamachi/rove
tests, linters and documentation builds are automatically run using GitHub Actions, as described in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=set7F0cfIs8&t=674s
there are ready-made configs for Qlot and CLPM, look for videos about them in the playlist about using Common Lisp in production: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU9el9dzWDmzxpiI2VLXDDKlljg6AgaEJ

March 08, 2023How to improve your Lisp code? Launch linters! [EN Subs]
In this video I show how to run linters for Common Lisp code and get constructive criticism from them.
We will look at 3 types of checks: warnings from the compiler, checking for unspecified or unnecessary dependencies, and analyzing the idiomaticity of the code.
As a bonus, I will tell you about the 40ANTS-CI system, which simplifies the launch of linters, tests and the assembly of documentation for Common Lisp projects. I use it on all my projects and it greatly simplifies my life in terms of setting up GitHub Actions.
Commands for installing linters:
ros install 40ants-asdf-system 40ants-critic
ros install 40ants-asdf-system 40ants-linter
Before installing, you need to add a distribution kit to the quicklisp client settings Ultralisp.org:
(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/"
:prompt nil)

What I use under the hood:
Lisp Critic: https://github.com/g000001/lisp-critic
SBLint: https://github.com/cxxxr/sblint

March 03, 2023How I cheated on my Quicklisp client
I'm telling you how a common lisper can live without Quicklisp client. There is such a project - Common Lisp Package Manager. This is what this video is about.
From the video, you will learn how to replace Quicklisp and Qlot with CLPM, as well as learn how to make stable builds with it.
If you watch the video to the end, you will find out how CLPM works, how it configures ASDF, as well as how to make a minimal executable file that will not contain unnecessary dependencies of the Quicklisp client type.
By the way, please note, at about 11:52 I show how CLPM is configured. Unlike Quicklisp, it uses a secure HTTPS connection by default to download packages! This is another of its advantages!

February 26, 2023How to define Common Lisp library in two different ways?
I show you how to describe a Common Lisp system in ASDF. First the traditional way, then a simpler one – using the package-inferred extension.
Usually in Common Lisp systems, only one package is described and dependencies between files are handled manually in an ASD file. The "package inferred" extension makes it easier to describe dependencies by moving them closer to the place where they are used.
In this video, I will demonstrate the features of each of the two ways to describe ASDF systems.

February 19, 2023What Qlot does? Using it like a Virtualenv for Common Lisp!
A tale about how to make reproducible builds of programs in Common Lisp. What is "reproducible", you ask? This is when the program that you wrote today can be compiled in 5-10 years without any headache. To do this, the versions of all libraries must be "fixed" in the repository.
By the way, in the video I tell you about a few more nice tricks that Qlot allows you to do. See to the end!

February 11, 2023Why do I love Roswell? He makes my life easier!
Why Roswell is useful for a lisper? It allows you to install different implementations of Common Lisp, build script files and install lisp programs directly from GitHub!
With Roswell, you can easily install the version of Common Lisp you need, for example SBCL or Clozure CL. This is especially convenient when testing your software under different CL implementations.
Also Roswell knows how to automatically activate Quicklisp and run Emacs with SLIME or SLY configured.
