I find it great for any general purpose coding on the backend. For instance, the algo of Routific is written in Common Lisp.
But once you start building APIs or web apps, it falls extremely short for lack of community and open-source libraries/frameworks.

I've already built the ORM, auth system and template engine. Now I'm doing the web framework, pretty soon the admin panel, then a couple of pretty project sites and i'll be on Hacker News.
- 616c 12y agoYou might have seen me follow up comments about your work. It is very interesting. I am just starting to get into Lisp and I want to make it the first language I really get it into (in college, as a non-major, I did coursework in C++, Perl, and Python). CL is the language I want to dive deep into and get expert it. Keep up your stuff. After stumling on your work on that strictly-typed LLVM lisp and your cmacro system, I find your work very inspiring and make me want to focus. You and Fukamachi (did I get his name right? the guy working on cl21 and the Caveman web framework) are doing really cool stuff for the CL FOSS community right now.
