Also, Lisp lacks a standard? Huh? Care to elaborate on that?
I mean sure, CL's standard is older than some dinosaurs, and Scheme's standard is currently rather controversial, but both have standards. Especially in the case of CL, there's little to complain about.
- Kaizyn 18y agoAnd which CL would you recommend the Padawan Hacker use? Oh, that's right there isn't a majority view on this... hence no standard CL to point people towards.
- Shooter 18y agoYou guys are talking past each other. One of you is talking about a standard in the true sense (such as an ANSI Standard, which Lisp has in spades) and one of you is talking about a canonical/standardIZED IMPLEMENTATION (which Lisp doesn't technically have.) So, everyone can follow the actual ANSI Standard for CL. And if you're looking for a standardized open-source implementation, you should just choose SBCL ;-) Either way, you should be Lisping instead of arguing.
