About vindarel

Pythonista turned lisper.

https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/

I run CL apps in production.

CL, batteries included, fast scripting: http://ciel-lang.org/

I create a Common Lisp course in videos. It's a progressive and structured course, where everything that was hard for me (especially hard to find) is made easy for you. Check it out! https://www.udemy.com/course/common-lisp-programming/?referralCode=2F3D698BBC4326F94358

    The trap is using quote, with the list operator there are no issues: (defparameter *a* (list 1 2 3)) and of course, mutating top-level variables is bad style.

    Notes on CL: - why nothing on the "compiler" line? Everytime you load a snippet or a file with SBCL, it compiles it (to machine code). There's also compile-file. - interpreter: lik…

    more importantly, as you precise below, you edited (and somewhat corrected) the article after feedback from /r/lisp. So it isn't only AI output.
