#+TITLE: rlwrapping sbcl
[[http://sbcl.org][SBCL]] is an excellent lisp implementation. The only thing that's not so
nice about it is overly simple command-line interface. The absence of
~<UP>~, ~C-a~, ~M-b~, etc. can be annoying, even though I only occasionally
use SBCL directly.
I have 3 solutions to this problem now:
- Use [[http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/][SLIME]], which is what I do most of the time, but sometimes this
isn't practical.
- Use [[http://common-lisp.net/project/linedit/][Linedit]]. I tried this, and it was cool. But somehow I broke it
and now I can't get it to work.
- Use [[http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/uck/rlwrap/#rlwrap][rlwrap]]. This requires you to either always invoke SBCL as
=rlwrap sbcl= or create an alias for it. This works very well too,
is very simple and doesn't noticeably increase start-up time.
