A lot of people don't seem to be aware that the Stack Exchange network consists of lots of different sites. StackOverflow is just the biggest one, but there are sites for all sorts of discussion: https://stackexchange.com&#x

I think you misread that. They said "comparable to" (equally sane), not "compared to".

Also when you just want to run a single command, `M-&` (`async-shell-command`) is always handy. Or in Dired mode `&` for operating on files. At least for me those two work for majority of shell usage.

In that situation you could simply represent `null` as a keyword :NULL, `false` as NIL and `[]` as a vector (or some other non-list datastructure).

Most of the time there just isn't any need to make a difference between the three. There are basically just two common situations where you need to be able to tell the difference: 1. Telling apart optional arguments to a function that

`#+...` is called "affiliated keyword" in the spec[1]. Those are distinct from comments, which are required to have a whitespace character after the hash sign[2]. [1]: http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-synt

I assume whoever made the decision figured that minus-sign is more commonly used for other purposes in text (although usually one should be using an en/em dash (which would be `--`/`---` in Org-mode) instead), so it would be harde

No, it wouldn't. The end plus-sign must be at the end of the word.

`C-c C-l` is also useful if you're linking to files (org or other). You can use `M-x org-store-link` in the link destination, and a subsequent `C-c C-l` will let you add that link easily.

You can use `C-c '` to edit the block in a new buffer without colons or indentation at the start.

SLIME does let you redefine functions and restart a stack frame (assuming the Lisp implementation supports that). You can even do it without using Emacs/SLIME, although that's not very convenient of course. A silly example with SB

You can use CL for #!-scripts too. SBCL has a `--script` option for running scripts. You'll probably want to create a core with whatever libraries you need for scrips, so that the start-up time will be fast. The core will be big, but i

Common Lisp does allow one to declare types in order to have the compiler optimize the code. SBCL[0] in particular is known to be pretty good at that. Macsyma also lives on in Common Lisp as Maxima[1]. [0]: http://sbcl.org/

Of course one should remember that Finland lost WW2 "better" than most countries won it. In fact, many Finns will say that it was a victory. While the war was brutal, Finland is one of the few countries where the casualities were

Common lisp has this universal setter-macro, SETF, which can be used to set values to all sorts of places . In this case you would use (setf (vref chip x y) new-value) to call the function (just like with AREF above). Using SETF h

There is also LASS[1] for Common Lisp. You use it either as a library for generating CSS, or as a standalone preprocessor. [1]: https://github.com/Shinmera/LASS

Lisp doesn't really have separate release/debug modes[1]. When you want to distribute a program as a binary, you dump the image and set a custom top-level function to use instead of the default REPL. The program will still contain

I assume you're thinking about Schemes `(let loop (...) ...)`, but that doesn't exist in Common Lisp. CL:LOOP is a looping macro with its own small DSL. (loop :for i :below 5 :when (evenp i) :collect i) ;=>

Common Lisp is a very stable language. The standard hasn't changed in twenty years, so (unlike many other languages) old code is still perfectly good. Libraries that haven't been updated in a decade still work just as well as they

The Emacs equivalent would be M-x replace-regexp word1$.*$word2$ RET word3\1word4 RET Assuming you have `replace-regexp` bound to a key, it's practically the same. Works on the whole buffer (by default), or the region (if se
