I really like the simplicity of the syntax and the stability of the language standard/specification. There will be no "Today we released v2, all your v1 code will be invalid"
- bsharitt 11y agoI'm curious since you mention students, so you may be one as well, but is Common Lisp just a hobby language for you, or do you have a productive professional use?
- St_Alfonzo 11y agoI'm a computer science student and will get my master's degree in October. At the moment Common Lisp is just my hobby language, but also the language in which I invest most of my programming/learning time. I'm able to program in a few mainstream languages, but I want to have one language where I really know the tricks and shortcuts. Getting a job here, where I would program in CL is nearly impossible. So in the next years I'll probably stay in the academic world and then try to do my own startup or freelance stuff with the language(s) I like.
