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.

Anyone know why newlines get randomly inserted when printing a list with format on emacs + slime?

So i wanna learn Common Lisp
With emacs your two choices are either SLIME or SLY. Slime is a good place to start - it's rock solid. Once you get moving you can make a judgement call on whether or not SLY has features you'd like over what SLIME has available.

Common Lisp vs Racket
To provide a bit more context, most of SLIME is just Common Lisp code (https://github.com/slime/slime), with a bunch of Emacs Lisp code alongside to support interfacing with Emacs. But you don't need that Emacs Lisp code to take advantage of almost all of the functionality SLIME provides. For instance, if you want to know who-calls a function, there's some command in emacs to do it, but all that command is doing is just a bit of elisp code which sends a message to Swank (a server running inside Common Lisp) and Swank invokes some native CL code to figure that out and return the results, then finally a bit of elisp code presents the results in some way. Vim can do the same thing just fine with vimscript/python (what the Slimv plugin uses) or otherwise, the bulk of the work in figuring out the list of callers of some function is done by the CL code (and CL implementation itself).

What does your workflow look like on Linux?
SLIME or SLY for Common Lisp (if you want to work with it), Geiser for various Schemes

slime-pop-find-definition-stack not working
That's rather new, https://github.com/slime/slime/commit/789584a7acb15747678fa62a8fcfc8d1187be867 is probably about that.
- Offline Hyperspec? html, texinfo, org, something?

Slime
With that headline on HN, I was expecting this: https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/

Python REPL-driven development in Emacs
SLIME or Sly for Common Lisp, Geiser for most Scheme implementations, or racket-mode for Racket?
-
Is there a possibility to have a master stack in bspwm like in dwm?
For example, some people that are Common Lisp programmers, but don't use GNU Emacs, may decide to use GNU Emacs because of the slime-mode workflow.

Does anyone use vim for lisp dev?
I use Vim with slimv, and have for years.
-
Portacle - Does it have auto indent?
Maybe you should stick to one new thing at a time. Vim is more than capable of handling Common Lisp. Look at Slimv and Vlime for vim-style SLIME. Focus on CL first. You can come back to Doom / Emacs later.

What is to go-to environment on Windows for Common LISP development?
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.

From Common Lisp to Julia
https://GitHub.com/jpalardy/vim-slime is a terrible SLIME to be honest! It is not even a SLIME. It just This does not look like SLIME. It just copies text from one text buffer and paste it to another Vim buffer which is probably running a REPL. "Probably" because who knows what the target buffer is running. vim-slime does not care. This is not Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for $EDITOR (SLIME) in any way.
vim-slime does not connect to any Swank server. It does not understanding Lisp s-expressions. It would happily copy any random text into any random REPL and call it job done! Lisp interaction mode is much much more than just copying and pasting text around. A superior lisp interaction mode gives you live debugging, handling conditions, inspecting variables, navigating the stack frames, ... Vim-slime cannot do anything like this because, well, it just copy-pastes stuff around. Vim-slime is a disingenious and misleading name for a project that is not SLIME.
If you really want to use Vim, do yourself a favor and use https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv and experience a true Lisp interaction mode.

Common Lisp vs Racket
Join me vim brother and don't settle for forcing yourself to use emacs while developing in CL when you don't have to! You even have two vim options! https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv and https://github.com/vlime/vlime with a great comparison of the two: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

Is SLIME setup possible for Vim?
I've seen SLIMV recommended as a SLIME alternative for Vim. Like SLIME, SLIMV is a SWANK client.
- Slimv – Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Vim (“Slime for Vim”)
-
What would you consider a modern lisp workflow/toolchain?
I found Vlime to be more updated than slimv and give a smoother experience. With time I've switched to bare neoterm which I highly recommend. CL and lisps in general are designed with a text repl in mind, so this is the method that is guaranteed to work on every obscure CL distribution, and also transfer well to any other REPL-based languages.

Opening and running functions in Portacle
If you are already familiar with vim you may want to use slimv

Is anyone programming in lisp?
You need Parinfer. Several versions are available for Vim. It's easier to learn than Paredit and works better with Vim-style editing anyway. Lisp emphasizes interactivity with the REPL. It helps if you can send forms you're editing to the REPL for testing. Try something like slimv.
