Yeah, CommonLisp and Julia (which is Lisp based, funnily enough) are solidly my top languages of all time, and they should be yours too. Fight me 😂

I legitimately don’t understand why people didn’t just stick with it after it was developed in the 60s. It has so many excellent features, the syntax keeps getting cleaner due to macros, it’s really fast, and the major complaint is just the parentheses? I’d trade the parens for interactive, stack-preserving debugging any day.

I’m hoping we can have a bit of a CommonLisp “revival” soon, as it’s incredibly stable and just gets so many things right. The only downside is a lack of community/”political will” so-to-speak, to get people to get through the prickly intro and to be able to really see how excellent it is.
