HOW TO CODE?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/lisp

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • racket

    The Racket repository

  • https://racket-lang.org ; but 2. are you really sure this is where you want to start? Maybe it is, if you’re the sort who like to learn math from books that start with axioms and on to theorems, and maybe, somewhere late in the book, show you how to do something with what you’ve learned. My advice to most people is that SICP is an excellent, say, 5th book about computation (and incidentally programming)

  • portacle

    A portable common lisp development environment

  • download Allegro CL free edition https://franz.com/downloads/clp/survey or Lispworks personal edition http://www.lispworks.com/downloads/index.html to get started. There is also a bundled Emacs+SBCL called Portacle https://portacle.github.io/ but with this you are simultaneously learning Emacs and CL that may be overwhelming even for seasoned programmers.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sbcl

    Mirror of Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)'s official repository

  • You need to install a lisp implementation. Arguably the best one is called SBCL: https://www.sbcl.org/
