Last time I played with Elixir (I'll assume it's similar enough to Erlang), I found the REPL / interactive experience not as rich as CL's (which I must say, reassured my beliefs), even though the command-line tools are g

I disagree: Common Lisp has many remaining powerful features AND a large set of them, when a language maybe caught up with one. The interactive debugger is unmatched, image-based development nearly doesn't exist elsewhere, the conditio

Why mention Emacs here? I'm sure you know CL works fine with Vim and other editors like Jupyter notebooks, Atom/Pulsar (very good support), VSCode (still in development), etc. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cook

Resumable exceptions are really cool though: on error get the interactive debugger, go to the bug, recompile the function, come back to the debugger, resume exception, see execution pass. Another CL thing that speeds up development, is more

It's still… not the same. In CL (and specially with SBCL), we get compile time (type) errors and warnings at the blink of an eye, when we compile a single function with a keystroke (typically C-c C-c in Slime). And there's also be

You are right :) This file is primarily for the ones who rage quit CL, hoping for greener grass elsewhere (and eventually come back).

not true, sorry! And if some languages took features, the combination of them is unique in CL. Image-based REPL interactivity, condition system, interactive debugger, restarts, compile-time computing, compile-time checks, incremental typing

These points scare me: https://gist.github.com/vindarel/15f4021baad4d22d334cb5ce2be... I doubt Julia gives as many image-based tools for the REPL (no conditions and restarts?), no single-file binary? I guess Julia&#x27

yet no other language gives so many tools to the developer… quantum companies would disagree. https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ (BTW: CL isn't Smalltalk which isn't uniquely that anymore

For package management, we have: - Quicklisp, which is pretty handy, since we can install and use a library from the Lisp REPL, without restarting anything. - Qlot, that installs dependencies locally, and allows to pin them (yeah you can&#x

My web app with dozens of dependencies is ±35MB, using SBCL core compression. So that's heavier than Rust, lighter than Deno, maybe in par with Go when the application grows. It starts up in 0.4s, without compression it does in 0.01s.

much, much, much less than Python. CL compilers (looking at SBCL) get you many type checks, at compile time, instantly (you compile the function at point), or you can send computation to compile time yourself, and the OO is different, etc.

by vindarel 3y ago
sorry but nah, nobody encourages anyone, let alone newcomers, to write macros. You don't even need to. You can chain function calls and get the job done. BTW you get many static type checks at compilation with SBCL, instantly, and see
