A simple Common Lisp web app (scotto.me)
One of the drawbacks of dealing with Common Lisp is the lack of documentation available. Too often, I find published libraries without an explanation of how to use them or only partially documented, and I need to dig into the source code to understand how they work or if that method is present or not.
