What are the recommended general settings for Lisp Web Servers?

Question

So far, I have only tried Hunchentoot and heard about AllegroServe, ABCLweb, although I would not know how they compare performance. I was wondering what is currently the best option for deploying a generic Lisp web application in a production environment?

Answer 1

The CLiki is an Internet-related open source Lisp software.

Scanning the list, web servers are listed here (links go to the CLiki description page), which, apparently, are quite complete servers:

• AllegroServe
• araneida
• Core server
• Hunchentoot

There are several other options that are self-described as minimal or experimental, or implemented in CLISP rather than Common Lisp.

I'm not a Lisp programmer, so I can’t talk about the effectiveness of any of them, but by collecting this information, Hunchentoot seems to be the most popular at the moment.

Answer 2

CL-HTTP is a full-featured HTTP server with a history that dates back to the early days of the Internet. Here is the CL-HTTP primer .
