Ask HN: How many of you are actually using Lisp in your startup/projects?
I saw lot of enthusiasm for lisp related stuff. Also I am very much influenced by PG's essays. So was curious about how many of us use lisp for our startup and what tools do you use for development.
- tumult 17y agoI use Scheme (Bigloo, PLT/mzscheme) all the time, even if the project isn't in Scheme itself. If I hit a point where I know I don't fully understand the problem, I'll usually break out my Scheme stuff play around until I have a better grasp, and then redo it in whatever language/platform the project is in (right now, usually JavaScript.) I usually use an emacs cvs snapshot, with paredit and geiser http://git.hacks-galore.org/gitweb/jao?p=geiser.git;a=summary http://git.hacks-galore.org/gitweb/jao?p=geiser.git;a=summar...

- gruseom 17y agoCommon Lisp and Parenscript.

- rosejn 17y agoI'm using Clojure for both my PhD thesis project as well as a musical live coding system. Coding in Vim with vimclojure. Yeah! It's a blast, and the Clojure community feels like the olden days of the Ruby community, but smarter.
- wglb 17y agoUsing SBCL, emacs. No web stuff here, save for a few internal reports. It is working very nicely. (ex c++, C, Python, Bliss, asm programmer)
- blue1 17y agoSame here, SBCL + slime for no-web stuff, and it's great. Never tried lisp for the web; for that I find perl + catalyst a very good solution.
