Ask HN: When is the next standard for Common Lisp going to be announced?
From their website ()https://common-lisp.net/):
> Common Lisp is the modern, multi-paradigm, high-performance, compiled, ANSI-standardized, most prominent (along with Scheme) descendant of the long-running family of Lisp programming languages.
But CL is _not_ modern, it lacks so many features that are standard in almost all other languages in 2022. When will the next standardization of CL take place?
- db48x 4y agoWhat do you think it lacks?
- Tomte 4y agoNever. The Lisp community seems fine with the status quo, and I haven't heard of any real undertaking to revive the standardization working group. The usual explanation is that the language allows so much to do with libraries that a new standard isn't really needed, as it would be in "lesser" languages.
