Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Modern Pascal is still in the race (2022)
> But these days folks are mostly used to the C style syntax.
Mostly, but I'm told the new Austral[1] language has syntax very similar to that of Pascal's.

- Austral Programming Language
-
Why Use Pascal?
For the first couple of items on the list, Austral might be a language worth considering:
https://austral-lang.org
It's new so it obviously doesn't have the community of libraries to use, but it does have a very friendly and accessible Pascal-like syntax, while also having a state of the art linear type system.

Interested in "secure programming languages", both theory and practice but mostly practice, where do I start?
For something more new look at Austral.

Must move types by Niko Matsakis
https://austral-lang.org has linear types and doesn’t use RAII but it doesn’t have defer.

The Loudest Lisp Program
But after you get past some basic weird stuff, it's a quite wonderful language.
> I can only speak for myself, but I definitely reason about code outside in rather than inside out.
You can indent code to make it much easier to "parse", and use some macros that turn the code inside/out, it's more readable than most other languages.
The CL cookbook is an excellent resource, and this page links to several other excellent resources and books you can read for free online: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/
The "new docs" also present the documentation in a "modern" looking way (rather than the 90's looks of what you get if you Google around): https://lisp-docs.github.io/cl-language-reference/
About other Lisps...
The Racket Guide is definitely not "bone-dry": https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/intro.html
It is well written and looks very beautiful to me.
On another Scheme, I find Guile docs also great: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/index.ht...
They may be a bit more "dry" but they're to the point and very readable! In fact, I think Lisp languages tend to have great documentation.

Gamedev in Lisp. Part 1: ECS and Metalinguistic Abstraction
> the problem with Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs
What's the problems with Alive, SLT, Slyblime, and Vlime? I mean, I use Emacs, but I was using Emacs before getting into Scheme and CL anyway.
> Every website that teaches Lisp is in ugly HTML+CSS-only style
I dunno, I feel like the Community Spec (<https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html>) and the Cookbook (<https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/>) are fine.
> I like the philosophy of (s-exp) but modern lisps have ruined its simplicity for me by introducing additional bracket notations [like this].
Yes, that additional notation is a terrible blight on the perfection that is S-expressions, I wholeheartedly agree.

How to Understand and Use Common Lisp
It's a good book!
Modern companions would be:
- the Cookbook: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ (check out the editors section: Atom/Pulsar, VSCode, Sublime, Jetbrains, Lem...)
- https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl to find libraries

Peter Norvig – Paradigms of AI Programming Case Studies in Common Lisp
https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp -- this one is great, and the first thing I recommend
https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ -- also great and up to date
https://awesome-cl.com/ -- for anything else.

A new video about image-based development in Common Lisp (please, turn on EN subs)
Little help to boost your videos: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ look at the banner. Cheers.

Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
For more beginner-friendly, I suggest P. Siebels Practical Common Lisp or The CL Cookbook. Both of those should be available in Emacs info format! If authors are lurking in here :-)
- Common Lisp and Music Composition
- A much needed cookbook for the Lisp-curious (and learning)
What are some alternatives?
Elm - Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
csharplang - The official repo for the design of the C# programming language
racket - The Racket repository
conjure - Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)
woo - A fast non-blocking HTTP server on top of libev
go - The Go programming language
roswell - intended to be a launcher for a major lisp environment that just works.
