It's a great article. Since then, we have more tools and resources so we can enhance it: ## Pick and Editor The article is right that you can start with anything. Just `load` your .lisp file in the REPL. But even in Vim, Sublime Text,

CL is often seen as "dynamic" but it's better than that: we compile our code with a keystroke and we instantly get compile-time type warnings and errors. It is not fully statically typed, but it is still way better than say

> In CL can you add/remove fields on the class and the existing instances get updated? What happens to new fields how are they initialized in that case? yes, and you can even specialize built-in methods so that the update does exact

Not so easy question, especially because it depends of the implementation, but SBCL gives pretty good static type errors and warnings. Mostly, you get warnings at the function boundaries. It isn't complete like type checking in the mod

but who's presenting CL as the answer to your needs? (me?) If you're happy with your mix of Python and Hy, well, great. But you know what, you can do what you described with CL too! Need to do some webscraping? Beautiful Soup -&gt

ah, I see. There's another shorter one below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsHxgP3SRTs In that one I get the debugger, I go to the erroneous function, I re-compile it, come back to the debugger and resume execution

They feel all limited to me :D I only did serious CL development but neither of those two especially attract me: they are less interactive (and that's my ideal and a daily joy), I don't need the Java ecosystem, I want to be lighte

oopsy, thanks, I was thinking about let (discussed below). (yep, I tried Hy but not for long, since I needed something more than Python)

This set of jupyter + autoreloads + editor features might get you close, but you won't be on par to CL's level. I'm thinking about CL's interactive debugger, and about language features that were thought with interactivi

They didn't try Allegro CL's new parallel GC (see comments). Otherwise, yeah. It depends on one's use case, I guess.

well there's a working Emacs-like in Common Lisp! https://github.com/lem-project/lem/

by vindarel 4y ago
I encourage people to try out Common Lisp because, unlike with Hy, you will get: speed, ability to build binaries, truly interactive image-based development (yes, more interactive than ipython), more static type checks, more language featur

the binaries are not specially lightweight either. What I had in mind in that when you start CL or install a bunch of dependencies (by staying in the REPL), this doesn't take many resources. Try another modern Lisp and bam, CPU and mem

by vindarel 4y ago
Well CL is pretty useful, lightweight, featureful… and Emacs Lisp is very similar to it, so you won't be lost.

Maybe try the latest Kdenlive a shot, it appears very stable. I'm dozens hours in already, no issues so far (Mint, latest Kdenlive with snap), and others also report it improved drastically.

A package is a container for symbols (symbols are a basic type that references variables and functions (or both)). Where you are "inside" a package (in-package), you can access all symbols directly. Otherwise, you need to name the
