Radiance

Web application environment for Common Lisp, for personal websites and deployable applications.

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.
