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.

Help starting woo server
Can I ask you this though? Again, all I have in my file is what's under the "Start a server" section of the woo readme.

Does the Haskell client for Selenium still work?

Struggling as a junior web developer
One of the nice things about Common Lisp is that it also has the fastest web server: https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

V Language Review (2022)
Here you have a web server written in Chez Scheme: https://github.com/guenchi/Igropyr So you see that Lisp is very suitable for web applications. Another project that proves that Lisp is excellent for web servers is Woo: https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

Is Woo still "beta quality" or prod ready?
I remember a long time ago when I checked out woo https://github.com/fukamachi/woo it still had the same warning "This software is still BETA quality." Is that really still the case? As of now, I'm seeing the last update was only 4 days ago, so it looks like it's been worked on relatively actively this whole time.

Google Common Lisp Style Guide
Thanks to ITA Software (powering Kayak and Orbitz), Google dedicates resources to open-source Common Lisp development. More specifically, to SBCL:
> Doug Katzman talked about his work at Google getting SBCL to work with Unix better. For those of you who don’t know, he’s done a lot of work on SBCL over the past couple of years, not only adding a lot of new features to the GC and making it play better with applications which have alien parts to them, but also has done a tremendous amount of cleanup on the internals and has helped SBCL become even more Sanely Bootstrappable. That’s a topic for another time, and I hope Doug or Christophe will have the time to write up about the recent improvements to the process, since it really is quite interesting.
> Anyway, what Doug talked about was his work on making SBCL more amenable to external debugging tools, such as gdb and external profilers. It seems like they interface with aliens a lot from Lisp at Google, so it’s nice to have backtraces from alien tools understand Lisp. It turns out a lot of prerequisite work was needed to make SBCL play nice like this, including implementing a non-moving GC runtime, so that Lisp objects and especially Lisp code (which are normally dynamic space objects and move around just like everything else) can’t evade the aliens and will always have known locations.

The ASDF system definition facility, at the heart of CL projects, also comes from Google developers.

Why Is Common Lisp Not the Most Popular Programming Language?
Everyone, if you don't have a clue on how's Common Lisp going these days, I suggest:
https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/these-years-in-common-li... (https://www.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/107oejk/these_years_i...)
A curated list of libraries: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl
Some companies, the ones we hear about: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/
and oh, some more editors besides Emacs or Vim: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... (Atom/Pulsar support is good, VSCode support less so, Jetbrains one getting good, Lem is a modern Emacsy built in CL, Jupyter notebooks, cl-repl for a terminal REPL, etc)

We need to talk about parentheses
Examples (for Common Lisp, so not citing Emacs): reddit v1, Google's ITA Software that powers airfare search engines (Kayak, Orbitz…), Postgres' pgloader (http://pgloader.io/), which was re-written from Python to Common Lisp, Opus Modus for music composition, the Maxima CAS, PTC 3D designer CAD software (used by big brands worldwide), Grammarly, Mirai, the 3D editor that designed Gollum's face, the ScoreCloud app that lets you whistle or play an instrument and get the music score,
but also the ACL2 theorem prover, used in the industry since the 90s, NASA's PVS provers and SPIKE scheduler used for Hubble and JWT, many companies in Quantum Computing, companies like SISCOG, who plans the transportation systems of european metropolis' underground since the 80s, Ravenpack who's into big-data analysis for financial services (they might be hiring), Keepit (https://www.keepit.com/), Pocket Change (Japan, https://www.pocket-change.jp/en/), the new Feetr in trading (https://feetr.io/, you can search HN), Airbus, Alstom, Planisware (https://planisware.com),
or also the open-source screenshotbot (https://screenshotbot.io), the Kandria game (https://kandria.com/),
and the companies in https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies and on LispWorks and Allegro's Success Stories.

All of Mark Watson's Lisp Books
> but there doesn't seem to be one that really stands out as pragmatic, industrial
disagree ;) This industrial language is Common Lisp.
Some industrial uses:
- http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html
- https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/
- https://lisp-lang.org/success/
Example companies: Intel's programmable chips, the ACL2 theorem prover (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2015.039...), urban transportation planning systems (SISCOG), Quantum Computing (HRL Labs, Rigetti…), big data financial analysis (Ravenpack, they might be hiring), Google, Boeing, the NASA, etc.
ps: Python competing? strong disagree^^

Steel Bank Common Lisp
Hey there, newer member of the first group here. Please see https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ to update your meta-comment. So, is CL used in the industry today, yes or no?
Personal note: I much prefer to maintain a long-living software in Common Lisp rather than in Python, thank you very much. May all the new programmers learn easily and all the teams have lots of ~~burden~~ work with Python, good for them.

industrial theorem prover, design of Intel chips, quantum compilers...
and little me, being more productive and having more fun than with python to deploy boring tools (read a DB, format the data, send to FTP servers, show a web interface...).
