 In heptapod we have a root group named =comp=, containg a variety of
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
4
 subgroups. Some of these groups should be public, while others are
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
5
 internal to comp members exclusively. Within each subgroup, we should
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
6
 have the root group members automatically granted privileged access to
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
7
 projects. This is relevant for the =startup= subgroup in particular,
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:

 where each project is potentially maintained by multiple non-root

 contributors.

 We also need to consider how we will manage subrepos across the

 organization. It is about time we start integrating HG bundles and
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>

 potentially mirrors. For our core VC pipeline we should have no

 reliance on Git, but this may be difficult. It depends on the behavior

 * Approaching Webapps
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:

21
 I started poking around in the webapp space again so that I can launch
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
22
 a landing page for NAS-T quickly. The Rust situation has improved
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
23
 somewhat on the frontend side, and the axum backend stack is nice.

 This might seem like a lot of Rust and not a lot of Lisp, which it is,
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
26
 but there's still room for Lisp wherever we need it. It mostly plays a
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
27
 role in the backend, servicing the database and responding to requests
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
28
 from the Rust edges. All of the important tests for the web APIs are
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
29
 also written in Lisp. We will almost certainly use Lisp for all static
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:

 processing and HTML generation at compile-time.

Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>

 This I believe, is the appropriate way to integrate Lisp into a
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
33
 cutting-edge web-app. You get the good parts of Lisp where you need
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
34
 them (interactive debugging, dynamic language, REPL) and avoid the bad
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
35
 parts (OOB optimization, RPS performance) in areas where the customer
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
36
 would be impacted. In this domain, Lisp takes the form of a glue
Richard Westhaver <ellis@rwest.io>
parents:
diff changeset
37
 rather than the bricks and mortar it sometimes appears to us as.
