If you want to compile it, you need a Common Lisp implementation. SBCL, CLISP, and Clozure CL can usually do it, though SBCL is the most reliable and well-tested.
There are binary versions available for download, too. They've been precompiled with an existing CL compiler.
Apparently what OP was talking about was a remote console into the webapp. You still can't open a random REPL and change the features of another process.
I suspect it's more a lack of resources (time, energy, interest) than maturity. CLISP has bugs. Some bugs are fixed in version control. It would be nice to have a new release.
One of SBCL's claims to fame is that it doesn't necessarily require a previous copy of itself to bootstrap; it can in theory use CLISP or Clozure CL. (In practice it isn't always tested and working, and I don't know if it would work on ARM if you tried it today.)
That article is painfully flawed, though its point remains valid. What makes Alberto Santos-Dumont, a dedicated experimenter with a positive genius for simple solutions to baffling problems, a "one-man freakshow"? The author never explains, and it's not obvious to the reader. The author's dismissive analysis of the innovations of the Wright Flyer minimizes its advantages and inflates its idiosyncrasies beyond any sense of scale — and for what purpose? His frivolous distortion of fact does nothing to enhance his point.
Usually if I'm downvoted I understand why, but in this case I'm baffled. Can anyone help me understand why this wasn't considered a useful contribution to the discussion?
Oh I know, and I wasn't implying otherwise. (It struck me as a big misunderstanding, though I don't know all the details.) My point is, he's not banned and he's welcome. The comment upthread was at best ambiguous on this, so I felt obliged to say something.
I'm not sure; I suspect you could go CLI-only. The GUI seems like a pretty thin layer over the GUI in most places. Some of the perspective/projection interface elements seem like they would be difficult to do from the command line, though.
Another question, does Hugin do the transform and alignment for your Breziner method images? I'm assuming some transformation has to be done to accommodate the tilting of your shots?
I've been interested in trying the method but have never gotten around to it.
- Alignment errors, where objects don't match up with each other across different shots
- Missing coverage, where I left a hole from missing a picture when trying to cover a scene
The former is something better software might be able to handle, but the latter is all my fault.
