• Learn Lisp the Hard Way
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Jan 2023

  CL is used in a wild range of domains. Web apps to industrial-grade theorem provers to quantum compilers etc.

  Here's an overview for 2022: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/these-years-in-common-li...

  companies: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

  pgloader went from Python to CL: https://tapoueh.org/blog/2014/05/why-is-pgloader-so-much-fas...

• Common Lisp – Myths and Legends
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Dec 2022

  "Who's Using Lisp?" but today? An ongoing list: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ (Google (they also contribute to SBCL), quantum computing companies, Intel, millions-LOC CAD systems, chatbots companies, trading services, big data analysis providers, the NASA, banks… and smaller companies and one-person businesses)

• Why Lisp?
  23 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Nov 2022

  Before this list, people said "Sure CL is used in production, there's Google and uh… Autocad". Now, we collect companies that we hear about. Nothing "official" nor exhaustive, of course. You can still complain, but not for the same reason ;)

  BTW this one is the list they are based on: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

  CL (and Scheme and Clojure) is still used in production, by Big Corps©, small companies, solo devs, for old projets or new ones.

  Google (ITA Software, used by travel search engines), Quantum Computing companies (HRL, Rigetti…), Ravenpack (big data analysis), SISCOG (metropolitan planning system), the ScoreCloud app (play your instrument, it writes the music score), Opus Modus (music composition), pgloader (from Python to CL), industrial-grade theorem prover, and so many more…

  The list of companies is taken from https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ which is slightly more up to date.

  For libraries, your link lists projects hosted on their Gitlab, so I'd refer to this one: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl

  Here's a recent one, which leads to a couple more: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/lisp-interview-kina/ and to a (non official and growing) list of companies using CL: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

• Lisp didn’t add any value to my life

  look better. Reminder: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ & https://lisp-lang.org/success/ & http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/index.html … (and it's the top of the iceberg)

• A Road to Common Lisp (2018)
  12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jun 2022

  It's a great article. Since then, we have more tools and resources so we can enhance it:

  Pick and Editor

  The article is right that you can start with anything. Just `load` your .lisp file in the REPL. But even in Vim, Sublime Text, and Atom [and also VSCode] you can get pretty good to very good support. See https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... (also Lem, a CL editor that works for other languages, Jupyter notebooks, Eclipse (basic support) and LispWorks (proprietary, advanced graphical tools).

  > if anyone is interested in making a Common Lisp LSP language server, I think it would be a hugely useful contribution to the community.

  Here's a new project used for VSCode: https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive-lsp There's also https://github.com/cxxxr/cl-lsp

  Other resources

  I already linked to it, but the Cookbook (to which I contribute) is a useful reference to see code and get things done, quickly. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/

  While I'm at it, my first shameless plug: after my tutorials written for the Cookbook and my blog, I wanted to do more. Explain, structure, demo real-world Common Lisp. I'm creating this course (there are some free videos): https://www.udemy.com/course/common-lisp-programming/?coupon... (ongoing -50% coupon for June).

  Web Development

  See the Cookbook, and the awesome list (see below). We have many libraries, you still have to code for things taken for granted in other big frameworks. I have some articles on my blog.

  We have new very cool kids in town, especially CLOG, that is like a GUI for the browser. Check it out: https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog

  Game Development

  See again the awesome-cl list. And the Kandria game, in the making, all done in CL: https://kandria.com/ (it just got accepted for a Swiss grant, congratulations).

  Unit Testing

  We have even more test frameworks since 2018! And some are actually good O_o

  Projects

  To create a full-featured CL project in one command, look no further, here's my (shameless plug again) project skeleton: https://github.com/vindarel/cl-cookieproject you'll find the equivalent for a web project, lighter alternatives in the README, and a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFc513MJjos&feature=youtu.be

  Libraries

  He doesn't mention this list, what a shame: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl => the CL ecosystem is probably bigger than you thought. Sincerely, only recently, great packages appeared: CLOG, cl-gserver (actors concurrency), 40ants-doc, official CL support on OVH through Platform.sh, great editor add-ons (Slite test runner, Slime-star modules…), Coalton 1.0 (Haskell-like ML on top of CL), April v1.0 (APL in CL), a Qt 5 "library" (still hard to install), many more… (Clingon CLI args parser, Lish, a Lisp Shell in the making, the Consfigurator deployment service, generic-cl)…

  His list is OK, I'd pick another HTTP client and another JSON library (new ones since 2018 too), but that's a detail.

  BTW, see also a list of companies: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

  Community

  We are also on Discord: https://discord.gg/hhk46CE and on Libera Chat.

  Implementations

  CLASP (CL for C++ on LLVM) reached its v1.0, congrats. https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/releases/tag/1.0.0
