    The Common Lisp Cookbook

    PCL is still fully relevant. Things move very slowly in Lispland! There's also "Common Lisp Recipes" by Edit Weitz, but it's more of a cookbok. Speaking of which, https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ is an excellent resource. Mostly up-to-date.

  • portacle

    A portable common lisp development environment

    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).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • emacs4cl

    A tiny DIY kit to set up vanilla Emacs for Common Lisp programming
