This looks amazing.
I've never used Common Lisp how common is it (heh heh)? I really enjoyed hacking around in Clojure, so I may have to pick it up. I'd love to hear from anyone who's done serious Common Lisp work. Why'd you choose Common Lisp vs any alternative?
- Shared404 6y agoI'm by no means used it for anything serious, but I've enjoyed "Land of Lisp: Learning to Program in Lisp" for just some light hacking around. I was lucky enough to get it in one of the programming Humble bundles a while ago.
- aidenn0 6y agoIt's just a great balance of dynamicism and pragmatism. I can redefine a function without restarting, and then get assembly level profiling of a benchmark faster than a typical C++ program can link. Most of the features that made lisps unique when I started learning lisp have been adopted by modern languages, but the debug tooling and dynamicism in a compiled language are both rare.
