Since I was talking about accessors / generic functions, I don't get the point of this example: (var *some-object* value) because we also use SETF with accessors: (setf (var *some-object*) value) Quick example:

true, Python is a slow and unstable Common Lisp with no interactive debugger, no restarts, no "live image" interactivity, no core images, no binaries, no macros, no compile-time computing, less compile-time type warnings, less fun

nitpicking, but I am not a fan of the naming. No need of a capital "A" and no need to recall the class name in the accessor names: "var" instead of "a-var" is enough, since yes, we can very well have an accesso

In the CL world: to embed CL in your C app: ECL; interface with the JVM: ABCL and LispWorks; for .NET: Bike ( https://github.com/Lovesan/bike/ ). JS: JSCL and Valtan (might need more love).

I question this belief for Lisp, because for instance SBCL says quite a lot of things at compile-time. See also the new Coalton (Haskell types), handy language features and the fast debug loop.

Nice article, I learned a couple tricks. A first gotcha: > you could just replace it with… #!/usr/bin/sbcl –load /home/youruser/.sbclrc –script this doesn't work, since a shebang only accepts one argume

I suggest: do you find yourself often quitting the debugger and re-running the same test, the same task from the start? You can avoid that in CL. Just leave the debugger open, go to the buggy line ("v" on a stacktrace in Slime), f

I mean code generation that writes code to files. I'm afraid they bit rot fast and make upgrading harder. Macros generate code on the fly, not in my source files.

ack, thanks. I still want to see what I'm missing, so I'll keep trying. Compilation to binaries works fine. A SBCL binary will weight ±35MB (compressed, 120MB uncompressed). This includes everything (compiler, debugger etc). A big

CL is very general purpose. Where it shines IMO is: the development experience (interactive, good compile-time type warnings with SBCL), the stability, the delivery of applications (compile to a self-contained binary), the overall feature s

It compares pretty well: it has all the essential features, and some more. It only lacks a couple keybindings in my eyes (shortcut to call the function at point in the REPL, shortcut to "change-package" from a lisp file). It has:
