I'm a big scheme fan, and really enjoy programming in it..
but the lack of a real ecosystem is really starting to hurt my progress.
What suggestions do you have for lisp-1 -> lisp-2? While I prefer lisp-1 + syntax-parse, I'd rather have.. quicklisp. quicklisp is life. the quicklisp must flow.
- H0n3sty 10y agoThe ecosystem around Clojure is really nice. Cider is becoming very mature, and leiningen is on par with quicklisp.
- PuercoPop 10y agoLeiningen serves a different purpose than quicklisp (Something more similar would be Clojars maybe). That said, Leiningen does way more (in a good sense) than quicklisp and any commonly used FLOSS tools in CL.
- dragandj 10y agoAnd there is also Boot, which might be considered a better replacement for Leiningen.
- jlg23 10y agoWhile I am actually not a fan of quicklisp for various reasons... just go for it? Emacs, slime & quicklisp and you are ready to go. As soon as you have created your first in-house libraries you'll want to look at asdf's config so you can override the quicklisp repo.
- DigitalJack 10y agoHe who controls the quicklisp controls the universe! I personally would recommend clojure + cider + emacs for an excellent ecosystem and tooling.
- jlg23 10y ago> He who controls the quicklisp controls the universe! Too true, that's my main complaint about ql since day 1. Give me a simple way to define a ql-repo hierarchy and I'll be fine with it. I did invest a few hours maybe 3 years ago but realized that it's too much work (research and patching) to allow for that. Recent developments (author pitching for money in ql context) make me even more worried :(.
