@interlisp ☝️ The syntax of FORMAT and LOOP blends with Common Lisp in a way similar to how the CLISP notation augments Interlisp. I don't mind the odd syntaxes of these little languages as they don't force to step outside the language for expressing specialized tasks.

On Naming Common Lisp
Erik Naggum once aptly pointed out
that it could have been named Garden Lisp.
In biology, the common variety and the garden variety (of a species) are synonym terms.
I was a gardener once.
It is a very worthy endeavor.

Spacetime boxes and #NicCLIM #gamedev : An ordeal #devlog#commonLisp
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/spacetime-boxes-nicclim/
I made a gamedev-my-NicCLIM-oriented spacetime-box class to try and figure upon Olum's stuff. I got tied up making two spacetime boxes, then making one spacetime-box every neighbor of the other, which was a huge problem actually. It seemed to be working at the end. Skip quickly to the extensive and far-ranging if poorly-named conclusions.
Avalonia Visual Basic 6 is a recreation of the Visual Basic 6 IDE that also runs in the browser. It looks quite close to the original.

If someone proves me wrong (I could be!) it'll greatly improve my opinion of emacs.
I came across a nice blog I didn't know, Lispology, by the developer of uLisp. He mostly focuses on Common Lisp and writes short, clear posts with readable code about interesting problems and projects, often with elegant solutions and the recurring theme of recursion. The blog offers a lot of tidbits and insights into using Lisp.

I agree, except the reader macros must be older, because Common Lisp: the Language came out in 1984.
Maybe I'll try to find the place in the Hyperspec tomorrow morning.
Here is a minor compilable abomination:
(funcall (defun #1=#:f (n) "Write once, run once." (if (zerop n) 1 (* n (#1# (1- n))))) 5)
=> 120
So when people say, "what kind of places are using common lisp", 66 hours on Tufts supercomputer biggest-ever-cosmic-string-simulation is one current example.

#lispyGopherClimate#commonLisp #astrophysics #supercomputing#softwareEngineering #archive , https://communitymedia.video/w/9kysH4ZwVuP4J4erZozqFT we will have (now done) a live interview with
https://as.tufts.edu/physics/people/faculty/ken-olum
about the recent largest-ever cosmic string simulation also introducing their new spacetime-volume pseudo-parallel simulation technique, relating to gravitational backreaction.
People sometimes ask, "who uses common lisp today".
Olum learned #lisp from John McCarthy.

Tried out the #lem text editor today!
It's written in #commonlisp and the usual #emacs keybindings work by default. Obviously, it can also be customized and extended using CL.
Will be cool to see how this project progresses.

Unlike me from 10 years ago, I don't place a lot of value on "cutting-edge" tech anymore.
Something that works reliably and stays stable for decades without significant changes or re-learning required is what I appreciate now.
Bonus points for performance and security improvements under the hood without changing the interface.
Cl-gopher is a Common Lisp library that implements the server and client sides of the Gopher protocol, as well as a sample text client. An easy to understand and well designed example of using CLOS.
