Nobody is writing satellite code in CLOS, though. Ahem: http://flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html Also Even C++ would be a bit more safer depending on what flavor of CLOS you are using. Assuming you meant CL

A month ago mocl was considered vaporware by many. Not releasing it was damaging their "brand".

It's actually cheap for a production ready(if it is) commercial cl implementation, but I agree, a trial version is essential.

I've just set up for 10% of my royalties from https://leanpub.com/lispwebtales to go to the EFF. It's a very modest contribution(I made ~150$ this month from the book, and expect slightly less next one) but I inte

You have taken a statement that essentially means "Lisp is a pretty good general purpous language" and interpreted it as "If I use lisp I have to create the universe from scratch in order to make an apple pie, and others will have to redi

Common Lisp is in the same category as a FP-ish language but still mostly used in a mutable OO fashion. We have a library called FSET written in CL to add persistent data structures and convenient syntax for them to the language. I don't kn

There is a book called Lisp in Small pieces, which I assume inspired the name, also a lisp tutorial called "Lisp in small parts": http://lisp.plasticki.com/ also probably inspired by the book title.

Obviously you haven't seen the lisp ads from the 80's :) Lisp was surely hyped then. Not to mention all the hype from people like ESR and PG. Even clojure owes part of it's success to the great presentation skills of Rick Hickey and the oth

I haven't read the article, but when I say, in a certain context, that I don't consider clojure a Lisp, what I might mean is that clojure is not descendant from the original McCarty lisp. You can trace Common Lisps or Emacs Lisps roots from

You meant Eclipse, obviously. But I'm not sure that is a good platform for a lisp IDE, cusp probably became abandonware for a reason. Perhaps something half usable can be done with sublime?

Scheme emphasizes building your software out of a small set of primitives. These primitives are themselves as conceptually simple as possible. an example is the map function which works on lists. In cl, the map function takes a designator f

There isn't really a great cost to learning the basics of a language. Lisp dialects are very easy to learn, at least to a beginner level. You can learn enough of any lisp dialect to start writing "useful" programs in a few days, just try th

So, to answer your question, there's no reason why one should learn Scheme over Common Lisp (or vice versa), if all you're looking to do is learn the concepts. Once you scratch the surface, Scheme, Common Lisp and Clojure emphasize

As e certified smug lisper(you get to be one when another smug lisper calls you one :), I would say that there are many of us who just don't care whether or not lisp gets more popular, but I don't think I've ever come across anyone who woul

My keyboard setup is as follows: dvorak layout, with the parens remapped where the "w" and "e" are on querty. In order to make emacs easier to use, I have the Ctrl mapped to the Alts and meta mapped to the win key. Caps Lock is backspace. S

There is a port of Googles closure-template system. It compiles closure templates to CL functions. They work pretty well. I have written about them in the book: http://lispwebtales.ppenev.com/chap04.html#closure-template It also compiles

Many lispers prefer to roll their own thin layers on top of hunchentoot, or even use it raw, but I prefer the slightly ticker layer of restas.

In general if you prefer FP, clojure is a great choice. If you like multi-paradigm, and mixing up OO with FP, and procedural as you see fit, go with CL. I'm a multi-paradigm kind of guy, but clojure remains my second favorite language :)

Functions starting with <: are generated by the sexml library for outputting xml and html from lisp expressions. There are many similar libraries in pretty much every lisp dialect.
