Runtime & Dependencies

Common Lisp environment and standard tooling

Architecture

x86_64, ARM64 (Apple Silicon & Graviton)

🧠 How It Works

red-black coordinates its core functionality through a modular Common Lisp pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Production System Integration

Embed red-black into Common Lisp backend services to handle core application logic.

CI/CD Automated Pipelines

Run automated validation, builds, and integration suites during deployments.

Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open source license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install red-black using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/jwiegley/red-black.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for red-black.

3

Import red-black into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

Execute your test suite or run `red-black --help` to verify successful setup.

👍 Strengths

Active community backing with 6 GitHub stars and verified adoption.
Permissive open-source distribution under the Open Source license.
Built in Common Lisp for high execution speed and developer familiarity.
Cross-platform compatibility across modern Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.
Clean modular design allowing flexible configuration and pipeline integration.

⚠️ Considerations

Requires familiarity with Common Lisp and modern CLI workflows.
Ecosystem extensions may require manual configuration depending on environment constraints.
Active development roadmap means breaking API changes may occur across major versions.
