The reason it is slow is not because it is written is Lisp but because of how it is implemented, primarily because it is a hobby project. Graphics are rendered on the CPU for example. https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano&

I agree that is nice idea but sadly only the JS server improves my experience compared to the alternatives, which is more an indictment on the JS toolchain than anything else. And even then its jump to definition leaves a lot to be desired.

> return/if/while/break/continue actually work in Hylang. Common Lisp doesn't have these. Don't know where you get your facts from, but Common Lisp certainly has those.

Given that wookie's author uses vim it is clearly possible. Another prominent lisper that uses vim is Steve Losh, they've even written their own swank equivalent based on nrepl, cl-nrepl https://github.com/sjl&#x2F

Sorry to hijack the thread but congrats on Lem. It's nice to see how far it's progressed. You even have an XCB binding in there! Lemonodor-fame is but a hack away!

Roswell and Quicklisp are two different things. Quicklisp takes care of downloading systems (what other languages tend to call packages) and makes them available to ASDF. Roswell and takes care of installing Common Lisp Implementations (thi

I agree it _sounds_ like an armchair critic, but I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they had a bad experience involving Lisp? The actively hostile to collaborative programming seems particularly misguided. Even an extreme case

As others have noted its written in 'rant form' so its bound to happen. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to bash on Perl at all! The Appendix on Editors bashes Emacs a lot too. Its an OK book _if_ you enjoy reading ran

Do you say that out of experience? That is certainly not my _experience_. Lisp codebases tend to be easily "appropiable"

Sure. Although the documentation doesnt make it explicit your .authinfo file can have a gpg extension and Emacs will encrypt and decrypt it for you using gpg automatically

Same as Slime. Works across implementations.

They do, the reasoning they already put forth. On the other hand your explanation is no explanation at all. No possible motivation. Just "people are bad everywhere m'kay".

You don't have to hire for Lisp, or any language for that matter. Picking up a language is way easier than fundamental skills (statistics for AI for example). IIRC Dan Weinreb of ITA fame said they gave their new hires a copy Practical
