mmh Elixir definitely has its gems and I need to try it for real. Where I can see it's lacking: no compile-time type warnings (unless you're using a new language on top or using a third-party library, but then we should compare mo

exactly… a new GUI lib, is this what you mean? (there is also a group working on Qt5 bindings, they say to have a working prototype and they're ironing things out since some time)

Not what I said, and narrow focus. Still, not a problem as of today?

Not a problem? Ah. From 1946 to 1982, 14 countries buried nuclear waste in 80 places in the ocean, without any more surveillance since 1995 (the detected radioactivity was low). Some liquid waste was just released there, some barrels are no

It's way better than Python (type warnings, speed, expressivity, stability, ease of deployment…). You won't build a web app as fast though. But if you plan to build a software that lasts and is easy to maintain, I'd recommend

yeah but this list was started for CL. At that time we only had http://pchristensen.com/blog/lisp-companies/ , and people giving the same 3 examples. Clojure always had good promotion and it already has https:&#x2

There are some jobs. We see announces on /r/lisp, Twitter, LinkedIn… sometimes very informal ones. Some companies still pick up CL, for instance: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ (it&#x

This website (and all the author's libraries) was such a refresher. It has been important for me to not run away from CL (again). At that time, the "official" website, the first Google result for CL looked like this: https:&

For those interested, today we have a source which references some present companies that use CL in production. It is by no means an official one, we collect data when we find it, but it makes our answer to "who uses CL?" way bett
