Emacs is awesome because it nicely handles every programming language I use.
There was no mention in the article of the LispWorks editor, that was derived from Hemlock. A really nice editor to use when I need the features of the LispWorks IDE, otherwise my favorite is just Emacs configured for LispWorks and SBCL.
For the discussion topic: I am not sure if the LispWorks editor is faster, snappier, etc. than Emacs because it is compiled Common Lisp.
- lispm 4y agoCLIKI is about free and open source software. From the homepage: "CLiki contains resources for learning about and using the programming language Common Lisp, and information about DFSG-compliant free software implemented in Common Lisp." LispWorks is proprietary commercial software and thus out-of-scope for CLIKI. Btw., that's a reason I don't contribute to CLIKI, as I'm not interested in only "DFSG-compliant free software implemented in Common Lisp".
