@aartaka An interesting thought, thanks.

@aartaka Thanks, others in this thread report it should work also under ~/quicklisp/local-projects/.

@AndreasDavour Right, a local project. Thanks.

@hajovonta Thanks.

Suppose I use SBCL to develop a Common Lisp project to be built with ASDF and loaded with Quicklisp. To simplify things and leverage defaults should the source tree go under ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ or ~/common-lisp/?

@macinjosh We probably deserve a bit more.

Again we encounter the fundamental schism of purpose between Mozilla trying to survive, and the mission its core audience believes in.

@vindarel Right, the list is a sort of executive summary of Common Lisp.

@mark_watson

@mark_watson What do you like of Quicklisp? Isn't the Python package ecosystem much bigger?

@synx508 Taking care of labrats.

A handy list of the main features of Common Lisp with concise descriptions and code snippets.

@mikro2nd Or you can roll your own framework as this developer did in Common Lisp. 😀

Jokes aside, I came across those links by reading this post. The author reached similar conclusions to the other posts and yours, but took a different road.

@mikro2nd This is more recent, 2019:

@mikro2nd Does this 2016 post help?

@lproven Thanks, I haven't been using Windows since around then and Windows 95.

@lproven For non Windows users: what does activation do? Register the product with a user ID?

Learn Lisp like it's 1972. A very early introductory booklet on Lisp that covers a variety of topics, including compilation and garbage collection, and has examples that compare Lisp with Fortran.

@thelastpsion Not Psion related but... how do you edit a profile overview on Codeberg?

@lproven Well, my copy of Coherent was version 3.3 for 286 and higher systems but the floppies are now little more than molecules in some landfill. And yes, I wasn't yet aware of the historical significance of such artifacts. If you're interested I can email Stephen Ness.
