• Origins of the Lisp logo

  The yin-yang logo with lambdas was designed by Guy Steele, and he has granted permission for its use to Common Lisp Foundation (the entity which runs common-lisp.net website and the gitlab.common-lisp.net repo). Source: about 2 years ago

• New open source Common Lisp 3D graphics project -- call for participation

  A wiki and pm tool I personally like a lot, simple, lightweight, is trac but there is no free hosting available — but I could work on hosting on AWS for instance. MoinMoin is also a good and simple wiki. You are using Medium a lot, which could also be a sensible option but it is more a publishing platform than a collaborative platform. Gitlab is also a popular choice I believe and we could use the instance on... Source: over 2 years ago

• What should be my next programming language?

  Python seems like a popular option these days and it is different enough from C++ in that it may teach you to think about programming in a different way. You could also try a functional language such as Lisp, Scheme) or Haskell -- they too will make you think differently about programming. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What is a good resource to learn Lisp in 2022?

  Clisp is a popular implementation of Common Lisp. Many of us also appreciate sbcl, Lispworks, and others. I can't say much about Clojure, other than it's not a Common Lisp implementation. https://common-lisp.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• A couple questions installing sbcl

  Right, but assuming I didn't have homebrew, what would I run if all I had was cl installed from https://common-lisp.net/ ? Source: over 3 years ago

• A couple questions installing sbcl

  Does this mean I already need a common lisp implementation installed in order to install sbcl? What would the above command look like if I had cl installed from https://common-lisp.net/ ? Source: over 3 years ago

• Common Lisp

  This website (and all the author's libraries) was such a refresher. It has been important for me to not run away from CL (again). At that time, the "official" website, the first Google result for CL looked like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20160305135106/https://common-lisp.net/ Fortunately, they revamped it circa 2018: https://common-lisp.net/ (work mainly due to @mmontone if I'm not mistaken). Since then,... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Julia and the Incarceration of Lisp

  Some folks swear by ITERATE. https://common-lisp.net/~loliveira/tmp/iterate-manual/iterate.html I did have an issue with ITERATE, in that it does a kind of macroexpansion that interacts poorly with macrolets. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• SBCL 2.1.2 for Apple Silicon M1 is available on Homebrew

  The canonical gendl repo is actually https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl.git, but due to the popularity of github the intention is to keep https://github.com/genworks/gendl.git in sync with the canonical common-lisp.net one. I switched main dev machines a while back and forgot I'd had my old one configured to push automatically to both, so only the common-lisp.net one had been getting updated lately.
