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

How to Understand and Use Common Lisp
It's a good book!
Modern companions would be:

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 :-)

- A much needed cookbook for the Lisp-curious (and learning)

An Exploration of SBCL Internals (2020)
I agree that it's a hurdle.
Portacle, https://portacle.github.io/ , is a way around config and whatnot, lowering the threshold a little.

Selling Lisp by the Pound
Reminder that Portacle is a way to try Common Lisp (and its tooling!) in a portable, self-contained way, on all platforms.

plain-common-lisp: a lightweight framework created to make it easier for software developers to develop and distribute Common Lisp applications on Microsoft Windows
Thanks for your work! I can definitely see how your project improve CL's accessibility. Not sure if you're aware of the Portacle project, but I think there is an opportunity merging two projects together.

Emacs4CL: A 50 line DIY kit to set up vanilla Emacs for Common Lisp
Also it is not much of a kit either since the user is left to install all the tools on their own. User who wants an easy to start kit with Emacs baked in is much better using Portacle or clean Emacs, or some of more polished Emacs distributions like Doom or Prelude together with Roswell for the "kit" part.

15 Best Lisp Courses to Take in 2023, for Emacs Lisp, Common Lisp, Scheme and Racket, by ClassCentral -featuring System Crafters
Then there's Portacle, a portable Emacs with SBCL, Quicklisp and Emacs goodies (magit, file-tree…) pre-installed. https://portacle.github.io/

What are your opinions on these three books?
There are some updates about Portacle last year. The latest is 1.4c Pre-release. https://github.com/portacle/portacle/releases Without Mac, can not verify it.

So i wanna learn Common Lisp
See also Portacle: https://portacle.github.io/ It is a portable Emacs that is ready-to-use for CL: it comes with Slime, some Emacs packages, Quicklisp and git.

How to learn Lisp?
Others have covered the language, but you'll also want tooling. An easy one to get started with is Portacle. It's a Lisp compiler, emacs with Lisp plugins, QuickLisp package manager, etc. so you don't have to spend time setting it all up.

Trying to get into Lisp, Feeling overwhelmed
1) I also love VSCode ... but for Lisp Emacs really is so much better. Look at Portacle. It basically is Emacs that's well configured for Common Lisp with SBCL right out of the box. You'll have to learn how SLIME work (the shortcuts to recompile running Lisp, etc).
