I see more and more talk of GNU Guix. It's nice to hear its ecosystem flourishing.
Do you find yourself running into more or less annoyances than a usual distro?

For HTML generators, I prefer libraries that have a function that takes a simple Lisp list and returns HTML.

This is the type of library I would prefer as well.
At this moment a static site generator is what I'm aiming for.

After giving additional thought, I would be curious how a Ruby on Rails replacement in Common Lisp would perform, or how to properly interlace it with the View component.
Usually MVC frameworks come with their own embed HTML templates that the controller can interlace with the data requested.

Curious how one would structure such a thing for a Common Lisp framework, keeping in mind performance... and if there's a way to escape hatch out of writing the usual HTML (which isn't all that bad, but it seems compelling to generate it instead).
Generating the entire HTML page on each request dynamically sounds like a performance issue, if one is using HTML templating libraries.
But I wouldn't know the performance, just a guess.
Probably should look up what is out there after posting this
