> all the other languages have kept picking up nearly everything once-cutting-edge about Lisp not all of them have CL's set of features: excellent long-live REPL, image-based development, compiling to binaries, the condition system, the interactive debugger and excellent developper tools (resumable stack frames, never re-run a long operation from zero [1]), the whole language at compile-time, stable syntax, extensible syntax, stable ecosystem, fast implementations, numeric tower, first-class interop to Java (LispWorks, ABCL), commercial support, mobile platforms delivery (LispWorks)… New CL implementations get created (CLASP, CL on C++ with LLVM or NPT, in C) and CL compilers and libraries evolve too [2]. SBCL is now callable as a shared library, it got a SIMD module, rumors say a bear party after ELS 2024 escalated and that they are adding coroutines soon. ECL is targetting WASM, all other major implementations had new releases. New libraries unlock new possibilities (Coalton: Haskell-like typing on top of CL), companies still pick CL today (CL is all the rage in quantum computing?), the community creates more resources and more tools such as, last but not least, new editor plugins o/ https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.html https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...
