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.

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.

A few newbie questions about lisp
Q4: the Cookbook should get you straight to the point: build a website, web scraper, DB access, reference of data structures… https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/

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)

A Road to Common Lisp (2018)
It's a great article. Since then, we have more tools and resources so we can enhance it:
Pick and Editor
The article is right that you can start with anything. Just `load` your .lisp file in the REPL. But even in Vim, Sublime Text, and Atom [and also VSCode] you can get pretty good to very good support. See https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... (also Lem, a CL editor that works for other languages, Jupyter notebooks, Eclipse (basic support) and LispWorks (proprietary, advanced graphical tools).
> if anyone is interested in making a Common Lisp LSP language server, I think it would be a hugely useful contribution to the community.
Here's a new project used for VSCode: https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive-lsp There's also https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp
Other resources
I already linked to it, but the Cookbook (to which I contribute) is a useful reference to see code and get things done, quickly. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/
While I'm at it, my first shameless plug: after my tutorials written for the Cookbook and my blog, I wanted to do more. Explain, structure, demo real-world Common Lisp. I'm creating this course (there are some free videos): https://www.udemy.com/course/common-lisp-programming/?coupon... (ongoing -50% coupon for June).
Web Development
See the Cookbook, and the awesome list (see below). We have many libraries, you still have to code for things taken for granted in other big frameworks. I have some articles on my blog.
We have new very cool kids in town, especially CLOG, that is like a GUI for the browser. Check it out: https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog
Game Development
See again the awesome-cl list. And the Kandria game, in the making, all done in CL: https://kandria.com/ (it just got accepted for a Swiss grant, congratulations).
Unit Testing
We have even more test frameworks since 2018! And some are actually good O_o
Projects
To create a full-featured CL project in one command, look no further, here's my (shameless plug again) project skeleton: https://github.com/vindarel/cl-cookieproject you'll find the equivalent for a web project, lighter alternatives in the README, and a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFc513MJjos&feature=youtu.be
Libraries
He doesn't mention this list, what a shame: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl => the CL ecosystem is probably bigger than you thought. Sincerely, only recently, great packages appeared: CLOG, cl-gserver (actors concurrency), 40ants-doc, official CL support on OVH through Platform.sh, great editor add-ons (Slite test runner, Slime-star modules…), Coalton 1.0 (Haskell-like ML on top of CL), April v1.0 (APL in CL), a Qt 5 "library" (still hard to install), many more… (Clingon CLI args parser, Lish, a Lisp Shell in the making, the Consfigurator deployment service, generic-cl)…
His list is OK, I'd pick another HTTP client and another JSON library (new ones since 2018 too), but that's a detail.
BTW, see also a list of companies: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/
Community
We are also on Discord: https://discord.gg/hhk46CE and on Libera Chat.
Implementations
CLASP (CL for C++ on LLVM) reached its v1.0, congrats. https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/releases/tag/1.0.0

is CLISP still recommended to use ?
If you’re already a vs-code user, then I get that. And the facilities do exist to do Common Lisp in vs-code: https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp

Common lisp LSP. Why there is no such a thing?
Third hit on DuckDuckGo https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp
-
Why there is no new "modern" (Common) Lisp IDE?
You mean like cl-lsp, or the Alive Visual Studio Code extension? These are admittedly works in progress, but I'm sure you'd be very welcome to contribute since you care so much about it!

Common Lisp Study Group : Introduction to ASDF
By the way, there is already https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp that provides some LSP support for Common Lisp. I believe there is no need to support LSP from asdf side ... you just need to write a bridge for it. I know the author personally and since he surely does not use VS code himself, I don't know that was his motivation in making this one.
What are some alternatives?
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
