This is lisp; you can always do what you want.

If show=serve, the answer is yes.

The Loom developers seem to think CL-HTTP makes web queries on

programming language like Common LIsp makes everything easier and
productivity higher, which is why it is used for complex systems in
artificial intelligence.
