This week I was looking for something new, and I realised that I’venever tried to do any network programming using Common Lisp. Also,some time ago I came across the Build your ownRedis book, butnever tried to go through it. The project is perfect, it containsthreading, networking, and even some async programming. I had no ideawhat the Common Lisp ecosystem for those things looks like, so it wastime to find out. So far I’m still up to the first part, building a basic key valuestore.
