Is that a general question, or a precise one? In case it's the former, I have a ton of personal projects and small libraries in it, plus wrote a book on it that will get published by Apress[0]. [0] https://news.ycombinator.c

The question was about Lisp in general, or at least I read it that way. If I misread, then I'll nonetheless leave describing Scheme paradigms to someone who knows something substantial about Scheme programming; I'm not that person

Sure, that's the case in SBCL - the type inference engine in it is rather advanced; with type declarations here and there (which are capable of turning Common Lisp into a weakly statically typed language), they are capable of type-op

It should. It's the same as with Common Lisp, which is strongly dynamically typed. Strongly, because it is impossible to confuse a given value's type via some sort of implicit casting; dynamically, since types are checked at runti

They're compilers, not interpreters - or at least SBCL, CCL, ABCL, ECL, Clasp, CLISP, ABCL, and LispWorks are. I'm not aware of any other alive contemporary Common Lisp implementations. Lisp is a memory-safe language with automati

From the security perspective, if it is written in C, then it is broken by default and by design - no exceptions. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24133128 for a recent, very relevant discussion on that topic with m

You've somehow summed up a long and elaborate article containing a multitude of stories and detailing multiple seemingly detached symptoms into a "tl;dr we're fucked". Seriously, how did you manage to do that?
