Depends on what you are working on. I happen to like Racket a lot but no one has ever paid me money for Racket development. In the last 40 years, lots of paid Common Lisp work.
Racket’s portable GUI and app builder are very good, as is LispWorks’.
- mhaberl 4y agoHow do you find CL gigs? What kind of companies/apps use CL? Are they all legacy systems? How does it pay in relation to projects using "mainstream" languages?
- reikonomusha 4y agoHRL Laboratories writes new code in Common Lisp for quantum computing. They have internships and full-time positions. Google employs Common Lisp programmers as well for their flight search product. RavenPack, SISCOG, GrammaTech, Grammarly, SRI (?), MIND.AI, and others as well (or at least used to). Check out [1].

- mark_l_watson 4y agoI have written two Common Lisp books, one for Springer Verlag and one self published- that helps.
- MichaelCollins 4y ago> Racket’s portable GUI and app builder are very good, Ehh.. they're pretty good and I'm thankful for them. I don't think I'd go as far as 'very good' though; the selection of widgets provided is basic. My rule of thumb is that if your application only needs the sort of functionality you can find somewhere in DrRacket, then racket/gui will be pretty good. But if you need a widget you can't find in DrRacket, then you'll probably have to implement that widget yourself.
