What is to go-to environment on Windows for Common LISP development?
10 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 15 Nov 2022

Neovim works just fine. I use Neoterm to send-to-repl, here's what my config looks like. Your other options include vlime and slimv. I switched to neoterm because it's simple, explicit, and doesn't create unpredictable windows. Works for any other language just as well.
What would you consider a modern lisp workflow/toolchain?

Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?

Racket (https://racket-lang.org) has an IDE (DrRacket) which isn't EMACS. ARC (which powers hacker news) is (was?) written in Racket.
Douglas Crockford, author of ‘Javascript: the good parts’ and ‘How Javascript works’ will be giving the keynote presentation From Here To Lambda And Back Again at the thirteenth RacketCon.

Nice! Repeating a comment I just made on HN: I signed up for RacketCon, will be joining remotely. I am looking forward to it a lot. Usually I use the Racket language perhaps for 10% of my personal projects, but I am currently writing a Racket AI book, so all things Racket are of current interest. Past RacketCons have been a lot of fun. I usually use Common Lisp, but Racket is batteries included Scheme, and more, and is a very pleasant language and ecosystem. Just in case you don’t have Racket installed: https://racket-lang.org/

Ask HN: What is the most suitable Scheme implementation to learn today?
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Aug 2023

I'd suggest Racket (https://racket-lang.org) which is a batteries-included language environment that includes scheme and has a lot of high-quality documentation.
Guile (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) isn't quite as learner-focused but is another great choice.

Setting up a Scheme coding environment in VS code?

The Racket fork of CS supports Apple Silicon natively, and can be installed independently: https://github.com/racket/racket/blob/master/racket/src/ChezScheme/BUILDING Chez adds a few features (threads, ffi, ...) to R6RS; there is a useful combined index to TSPL4 and the CS User Guide at http://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/csug_1.html
Is SICP an overkill for a 14 year old?
1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 2 Jul 2023

If you're using SICP in Scheme (or are you doing the JS version?) then you may want to look at How to Design Programs. It uses Racket which is a Scheme descendent so much of the language you've learned in SICP will work in it without issue. It also has a pretty good set of GUI and drawing capabilities you can find through the Racket docs page and will use some of with HTDP.
