one of the perceived (by outsiders) CL drawbacks, is the eco system
if CL have a lot of libraries, it is not because CL have a large or active community, it is more because it existed for a long time
so, what is honestly the reality of CL ecosystem, is quicklisp a solid part of this ecosystem, is it easy to find and install packaged compared to perl and python for example?
do you think racket have a more reliable ecosystem?
- flavio81 9y ago> is quicklisp a solid part of this ecosystem, Yes, it is very popular. You can also, without Quicklisp, download manually the project and let ASDF do the rest of steps. > is it easy to find and install packaged compared to perl and python for example? There is this CL environment, Portacle (The Portable CL Environment) which you just download and immediately gives you (no more steps needed): - SBCL lisp implementation/compiler - Quicklisp - SLIME environment - Customized EMACS - and other nice tools. In any case, Quicklisp is easy to install as long as you have a modern ASDF version. Quicklisp is really easy to use, as easy as, say, PIP for Python.
