## Notes

Radiance is a web application environment for Common Lisp, described by its authors as sort of like a web framework, but more general. It is installed through Quicklisp and used to write personal websites and deployable applications. The tutorial's deployment part runs Radiance as a long-running Lisp process behind an existing HTTP server, and its templates are written with the Clip system. Its database implementations include PostgreSQL and SQLite.

## Worth knowing

The source moved from GitHub to Codeberg in 2025, and the GitHub repository is archived. The [project documentation](https://shirakumo.org/docs/radiance) is the reference for the standard interfaces.
