A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

SBCL is one of the more popular runtimes for CL as far as I know. I think the big advantage with Lem is that CL is a much better language than Emacs Lisp which is like Js of Lisps. 😂

Yeah… I was rooting for Guile Scheme to replace elisp, but that’s been stalled out like forever https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

@davel @yogthos it seems to be a little known fact that Per Bothner, the author of Kawa Scheme, also developed JEmacs - a variant of Emacs that runs on the JVM.

(I haven't used it though, so I can't say if there's anything substantial missing from it)

A little known fact that someone wrote emacs so it suits the "bloated manatee" name? No, that's something we would have blocked from our minds; and now I need to buy more jaegarmeister to do it again.
