and here the author ports a Clojure program to Common Lisp with a x10 speed gain: http://johnj.com/from-elegance-to-speed.html . Sorry, x300.

You can access Python libs easily from CL: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#python and there's a Numpy clone: https://github.com/numcl/numcl

Quicklisp is great (and better than npm/pip) because it works with distributions, aka releases. It's more stable, I never had dependencies of dependencies that break because they were not pinned carefully. Upgrade when you want. I

Some bits are here: - https://github.com/alex-gutev/generic-cl/ gives generic equality, predicates and other base functions. - the https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ has nice topics

For numeric work in CL, one might like Numcl, a clone of Numpy: https://github.com/numcl/numcl

Maybe it lacks now, but it DID have heavy sponsors (Carmegie Melon University and Nasa are two that come to mind). The implementations we have now are based on this work.

Hy made me reconsider Lisps and I'm glad it did. I'm now using CL quite a lot. It's possible to use Python libraries from CL: - there is py4cl and async-process: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl

Common Lisp seems to tick the boxes. The syntax is stable and it doesn't change. New syntax can be added through extensions (pattern matching, string interpolation, etc). The language is stable, meaning code written in pure CL still ru

Yes. I also like - http://wikemacs.org/wiki/Helm and http://wikemacs.org/wiki/Helm-swoop - which link to an extensive tutorial: https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html and +1 for

See the "editor-support" link: there's the Dandelion plugin for Eclipse, although basic; I said Atom support is getting very good. There's Vim, a basic plugin for VS Code, and Lem, a self-contained editor ready to use fo

To refresh your ideas on CL (I know I needed it): https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl There may be more libraries than you think. Also recently some usual complaints have been fixed: - hard to set up environment

I find the package manager actually great. Quicklisp works with monthly "distributions" that are tested to load together, rather than libs that must be strictly pinned and updated separately like everywhere else. I can understand

Lisp sould ring a bell for high hackability ! (good points though)

There's the very good Trivia library for pattern matching: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/pattern_matching.... (and I think libraries are better maintained that Racket's)

Yes absolutely. http://wikemacs.org/wiki/Evil For a spacemacs experience, see also which-key-mode.

I'd pitch: - it's all interactive and that's a productivity boost. Write a function, compile it (yes, compile function by function), see warnings or get a debugger on errors, try it right away. Same for web development. No pr

Exciting times in Lisp land ! This is not only super useful, it's also amazing how it was built: it is a fresh Weblocks app, the venerable CL web framework, that abstracts the need of writing any JS. It's a server-based, component

Given a point, and quite soon, you'll use advanced and peculiar yaml syntax. Want to factorize rules ? .deploy: &deploy and foo <<:*deploy etc. This doesn't simplify parsing. This is already

Nice. What languages do you build environments for ? Are they ready for a typical python & JS (vuejs) project ?
