This is an example from my test harness:
(define-test remote-basic (def-remote-class remote (server) ()) (def-remote-method sum :sync ((self remote) (a fixnum) (b integer)) (declare (ignorable ip port)) (+ a b seqnum)) (let* ((port (+ 1000 (random 50000))) (server (make-instance 'remote :port port)) (client (make-instance 'remote-proxy :host (host-address) :port port))) (assert-equal '(6) (sum client 1 2 :seqnum 3)) (stop server) (stop client) ))
I won't comment on the difference between haskell and lisp (both languages I respect), but I will say that you should add a macro or high order function (depneding on lisp vs. haskell) that is something like "(with-client (c args-list) body)", that way you can simplify the creation/cleanup of clients. Same idea as with-open-file. You can do the same with server. As for your actual question, there is a deriving(Read), but I don't remember what extensions are needed. Jason
