Yeah, not bad, though it's a bit too individually centered for my taste, and just a bit exaggerated (like there were no digital cameras before smartphones). I'd add: "I bought solid products and I expected them to last more t

At least now we have a list of companies not to be ashamed of: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ There are big names and big players. Now to see one pushing CL is another topic.

I struggled with loop too, but I finally just learnt it by example: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/iteration.html and it's awesome.

I heard Allegro's GC is concurrent and that "a new GC seems to be brewing in SBCL". Also Clasp's GC (via Boehm GC and MPS). Last but not least, quoting: "when one runs ABCL on a suitable JVM with ZGC or Shenandoah,

On lisp and types, I prefer this article: https://alhassy.github.io/TypedLisp a primer - let's explore Lisp's fine-grained type hierarchy! with a shallow comparison to Haskell.

I'd say it's worth it to the mid or long term, so you'd benefit from CL's strengths and advantages. It's more difficult than mainstream languages to start a web app only because there are less material, project temp

Agreed. I just wrote this LispWorks IDE review and will add it to the CL Cookbook (when slightly enhanced): https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/discovering-the-lispwork... It should shed some light on their offerings a

Here are some lispers' impressions: https://gist.github.com/vindarel/c1ef5e043773921e3b11d8f4fe1... Racket seems to miss at least two big points: the interactivity/the debugger and the condition system.

That's very cool and I'm waiting for it but the usable Common Lisp based editors are Lem and LispWorks: https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ supports CL, Python, C, Rust, CSS, Go, HTML, Java, JS, Nim, OCa

You can use CL for everything[0] :] As for text editors, there's Lem and LispWorks https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ https://lisp-

BTW, Emacs is not the only CL editor anymore. Besides Vim, Atom with SLIMA is getting very close to Slime. There are a couple extensions for VSCode, and more: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#text-editor-resou

I can give you example snippets I was able to write for Nyxt, that I find quite exciting, as premises of an integrated platform, bluring the lines between a web browser and other applications. I don't agonize in not having them in othe

Does Polygon stay relevant after Ethereum's PoS?

This looks like something Common Lisp does better, however I have too little Clojure experience to compare. CL (and SBCL in particular) does "good enough" static type checks, it throws warning at compile time (when we compile one

Interesting. Looks similar to Comby: https://comby.dev/ "a tool for searching and changing code structure". Comby is more on rewriting, it has less integration for a CI (though you can do it), it is less geared to

Obligatory link to its cousin: https://guix.gnu.org/ A package manager or a full distro. I use the package manager on top of Debian, it's great, it allows me to get recent package versions the most straightforward way

Such as? Maybe we'll be surprised to find a couple.

In a similar idea, you can also make them less visible, so indentation strikes more: https://github.com/tarsius/paren-face/

Just confirming these libraries are there for CL. ( https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl/ for a start)

I'm intrigued too, thanks for the paper. > on a somewhat larger scale, the Lisp user community was not growing much either, and much of what was done in Lisp was now done in newer (an leaner) interpreted languages such as Perl, Pyth

At least it's making it (along with more libraries) available out of the box and in Jupyter notebooks. How do you get the first lisp-stat? https://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~luke/xls/xlsinfo/node1.htm...

About uiop:quit, that sometimes are in the middle of a script: lately I have wrapped it around a check of the nature of the terminal: if the terminal is dumb ($TERM), we are very likely inside Emacs/Slime, so we don't quit. https
