Code from Arclanguage tutorial does not work

[alexispurslane]

Almost none of the library functions from the language reference at arclanguage.org work.
For instance, the code:

(w/socket s 8888 (let (i o ip) (socket-accept s)
  (w/stdout o (prn "Hello") (close i o))
  (prn ip)))

complains about none of these functions existing.

Thanks for reporting that; good to know. If you ended up implementing some of them we'd love that. I'll probably also look into implementing some of them, though it might be a while. I imagine many of them would be easy to implement in terms of Common Lisp primitives.

Did you do (in-package :clamp)? prn should definitely be defined. I don't think I defined an equivalent to w/stdout because Common Lisp has dynamic variables. The pattern for doing that with Clamp is instead (let *standard-output* o ....

As for the socket functions, I never defined Common Lisp equivalents to them. You should instead use a library such as usocket that provides socket related functions. Looking at the API, I think you can use the macro with-socket-listener as a substitute for w/socket.

Awesome, thanks guys.
@akkartik, I will probably get around to implementing the Arc language's OS functions eventually, I had already been planning to do that, but I have a two other rather large projects going right now so I might be sluggish.
@malisper I was planning on doing just that. After all, this is Common Lisp we're talking about! (:
