Awesome release! Lem also works for Python, Rust, HTML [and more]( https://github.com/lem-project/lem/tree/master/modes ), it has a built-in LSP server, a vi layer, a directory mode… It has a very good CL

I expect you can run it in headless mode (new --headless switch), start a Swank server (the backend of Slime, the backend of the most used CL "language server"), and connect to the Lisp process from home, through a SSH tunnel. And

Interesting. Fortunately, they are making clear Coalton didn't reach "v1.0".

SBCL (the implementation) gives us pretty useful type errors and warnings. It is not "fully typed" (see Coalton for a Haskell-in-Lisp) but very useful anyways: it warns on a function arguments not having the right types, stuff lik

You don't need to do something super cool to use CL. Boring stuff works too. I use a small program in production© that reads a DB, formats data and sends it to FTP servers. Was a breeze to develop, is a breeze to deploy. It's a

That's nice to hear, thanks for the feedback. I've been puzzled many times when starting out (or taking a not-so crowded path), so I'm glad the ones after me are having a better time. Now, your time to build cool things and s

Hi everyone, CIEL is not done, it has rough edges, a build is provided only for Debian-ish systems, but I like the shape it is taking, and it is already useful. Look, it is also a utility to easily write Lisp scripts with batteries included
