  Quantum computing and symbolic AI? But also web services, CAD and 3D software, trading, designing programmable chips, big data analytics…

• Common Lisp implementation of the Forth 2012 Standard

  still, some use it professionally. And pick it as first choice. Like, is CL all the rage in quantum computing?

  for some, prototyping goes to production: https://blog.funcall.org/lisp%20psychoacoustics/2024/05/01/w... (this year example)

  Thriving as recognized by the general public, no, but do many implementations improve and are libraries released for practical matters? Yes.

• Ask HN: 30y After 'On Lisp', PAIP etc., Is Lisp Still "Beating the Averages"?

  When you take the subway in London or Lisboa, you're traveling thanks to Common Lisp.

  When you buy a plane ticket on Kayak or Orbitz, you're traveling thanks to Common Lisp.

  fun fact: there is a Common Lisp NFS Server inside the Boeings 747 and 777.

  a new one: when people in Norway drive under tunnels, they do it safely thanks to Common Lisp.

• A Road to Common Lisp

  The other way around: its use might be more widespread than one thinks, because it is still used in the industry, it is still chosen by new companies. https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ (nothing official here) For instance, CL seems a corner stone for quantum computing these days.

  Not saying it is widespread, of course.

• 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.

  While we're at it, some more companies using CL today: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/

• 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)

  > 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^^
