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.

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.

Web Embeddable Common Lisp is a project that brings Common Lisp and the Web Browser environments together

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.

I updated my post "Do I need a Lisp Machine comeback?". I have added the new information I've found with chatting with folks on lisp IRC channels.

Seems like I was looking for was "residential style development" or something. Dunno yet what does it mean. But for sure I am digging something out of grave!

Essential LISP by John Anderson et al., published in 1987, was an introductory Lisp book based on research on how beginners learn Lisp.
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL21180323M/Essential_LISP
For code examples it used a subset of features available in most dialects of the time. Where the book differs it goes with Common Lisp with adaptation notes for other dialects, including Interlisp.
Aside: all the compatibility notes in Guy Steele's book (_Common Lisp: the Language_) were of great value to me.
I wasn't porting programs, but these notes told me a lot about the evolution of the language and the mental processes of the people who worked on that.
