That's part of why we want CCL in the store: so that we ask concrete questions about sandbox in reference to our existing app. But the potential sandboxing issues aren't related to the fact that CCL is written in Lisp; they're related to the fact that CCL is a development tool and so it wants to be able to do things like have read-write access to multiple files on disk, and know where its home directory is so it can load an init.lisp file.<br></span></blockquote></div><br><div>
