Lisp Movies: Episode 2: (Re)writing Reddit in Lisp is 20 minutes and 100 lines
sven.van.c...@gmail.com
The second Lisp Movie (Screencast) is a tutorial on building web
applications using KPAX, implementing a prototype clone of Reddit, sort
of anyway.
We show how to use the KPAX Common Lisp Web Application Framework to
implement an example that is quite similar to Reddit: a collection of
links is presented, sorted by points and sorted chronologically, a form
allows for new links to be submitted and links can be voted up or down.
We show how to interactively debug web applications. Finally we add a
stylesheet to give our little application a better look (thanks to
Nicky Peeters). Furthermore we show how Common Lisp allows you to write
elegant code, elegantly: flexibly re-using similar code fragments, as
well as developing and testing incrementally.

Enjoy,

Cool, it's always fun to observe people coding. I'd actually be
interested in seeing that more often, better reality show than most
anything I've seen... The lack of sound actually seems to be a good
thing.
How do people combine the advantages of Emacs (like keyboard macros,
textediting utils) with those of the Lispworks IDE (integration, etc)?

Liswworks has a Emacs like editor.
(Instead of elisp as a underlying language you have common lisp)
With Edi Weitz extensions it becomes better.

Well, I became jealous and wrote another one using UCW. Though it does
not have the safety precautions of the KPAX version I think it's a
good introduction to UCW and component based web programming. Since
I'm a real CL newbie it took approximately 45 minutes to write and I
*borrowed* some code from the KPAX version. Sadly I cannot setup an
online demo since I did all my development on my laptop and none of my
servers have a recent CL implementation to run UCW and SLIME. You can
download the code from: http://tonguc.ath.cx/reddit.lisp

Nice to hear about it even if we can't see an online demo.
I guess somebody gotta fill Ankara point in the Lisp map ;-)
Guess who...
