# Scripting
> Note: this is brand new! Expect limitations and changes.
CIEL provides a fast-starting scripting solution for Common Lisp.
It is based on a standalone binary (created with the fast SBCL
implementation) and it ships useful built-in utilities, for real-world
needs: HTTP, JSON, CSV handling, plotting, and more. You just have to
get the binary and run your script. Use a shebang line if you wish.
It's a fast and easy solution to write Lisp code for your day-to-day tasks.
