- anthk 2y agoQuickLisp solves most of the issues. Quiop and closer-mop if you want a universal CLOS. Scheme is not Common Lisp, it's kinda the opposite. It comes with batteries included and MCClim is the defacto GUI for it. >Stuck with Emacs [from the URL] Well, Lem tries to be Emacs for Common Lisp, but without having to think on two Lisp languages (albeit closely related) at once. Once you have a REPL, autocomplete and some docstring looking up tool, you are god.
- turtleyacht 2y agoGood point. I neglected to consider standard libraries (stdlib) at the time. If those are allowed, then a lot more can be done with one's code without reaching much farther. Thank-you.
- anthk 2y agoThe 'stdlib' in CL is huge. Scheme is the minimal one. Almost like comparing sh with zsh.
