Package: cl-launch (2.07-1)

uniform frontend to running Common Lisp code from the shell

CL-Launch will allow you to invoke Common Lisp source code from the shell command line or from a shell script. It will also allow you to turn your Common Lisp source programs into executable shell scripts. CL-Launch will automatically detect a supported Common Lisp implementation and use adequate invocation options. It can also be configured to fit exactly the programmer's desires. Supported implementations are:

    SBCL, CMUCL, GNU CLISP, ECL, OpenMCL, Allegro, GCL.

CL-Launch also offers Common Lisp programs a simple uniform interface to invocation parameters (command-line arguments and environment variables) and installs a per-user cache for lisp fasl binaries in ~/.cache/lisp-fasl/ that is superseded by the common-lisp-controller cache for debian-installed implementations (except ecl and gcl) and can otherwise be moved or disabled through environment variables. CL-Launch may save memory images for fast startup (at the price of disk space). It can also be used as a quick way to evaluate and print simple Lisp forms from the command-line without invoking a full-flegded REPL.
