抽象異端：為何我使用 Lisp 程式語言
➤ 擁抱 Lisp 的獨特魅力
✤ http://funcall.blogspot.com/2025/04/why-i-program-in-lisp.html
作者闡述了為何偏好使用 Lisp 進行程式設計，儘管它並非最流行的語言。Lisp 具有易於記憶、限制較少、與思維模式更契合、高度可自訂且趣味性高的優點。其統一的波蘭符號表示法、對函數式程式設計的優良支援、即時回饋的 REPL 環境，以及動態類型系統等特點，使其成為一個理想的思考和解決問題的工具。作者並透過與 C、Haskell、Rust 等語言的比較，突顯了 Lisp 在靈活性和表達力上的優勢。
+ 讀完這篇文章，我開始想重新學習 Lisp 了，作者描述的優點真的很有吸引力！
+ 雖然我對 Lisp 不太熟悉，但這篇文章讓我對它有了一全新的認識，原來它不僅僅是一種古老的語言，還是一種強大的思考工具。

“Extending consult-notes Package to Add Draft Blog Post Candidates”

In this post, I walk through using #Emacs #Lisp variable binding to reuse what might, in other languages, be hard-to-re-use code.

whoa! #gcl #lisp is now ANSI compliant.

https://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/RELEASE-2.7.1.html

Congratulations!

GCL 2.7.1 release claiming ANSI compliance (previously it was CLtL2 implementation). Congrats!

GCL is a cousin of #ECL sharing the common ancestor Kyoto Common Lisp.

@me I'm using it professionally for over a decade now. There are multiple commercial entities relying on #lisp.

#lisp

Another glorious #McCLIM hack. Recursive interactive parsing that preserves internal structure of accepted objects. #lisp #wip

Ah, the eternal #hipster of #programming languages is back! "Lisp isn't popular," whines the author while clutching their #Lisp REPL like it's the last avocado toast at brunch. Sure, other languages might be useful with "libraries" and "user communities," but who needs that when you can bask in the glow of your own unpopularity?

DLISP, developed at Xerox PARC in the second half of the 1970s, was the first client-server window system. A window server ran on Alto workstations connected via Ethernet to Interlisp running on the MAXC PDP-10 clone.

For details on the use and design of DLISP see:

@me You can find here 2 interviews of small teams using CL. One "secretly", one in a great open-source product:

"questions to Alex Nygren of Kina Knowledge, using Common Lisp extensively in their document processing stack"
https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/lisp-interview-kina/

"Arnold Noronha of Screenshotbot: from Facebook and Java to Common Lisp."

@me Personally, as a solo developer, I use CL more and more in my stack, ditching Python the more I can. I wrote about it: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/running-my-4th-lisp-script-in-production/

Instead of extending a Python software I write independent modules in CL. It works well for standalone scripts too (read a DB, process data, send everything to a FTP, to a web service, by email…) It's such a joy.

On Discord, we see some are in big tech©, wrote their personal tool in CL and now it's part of the team's stack.

Me encanta programar en #Lisp en mi tiempo libre. La programación funcional fomenta la abstracción y me permite construir sistemas complejos a partir de funciones simples. El REPL me abre la puerta a jugar en tiempo real con el código sin tener que reiniciar constantemente el software o forzarme a lanzar un programa de depuración. Para mi es una herramienta poderosa para afinar mis habilidades de programador, probar nuevas ideas, patrones y un espacio para la creatividad. Además tienes sabores en cualquier lugar: #Clojure para JVM, #ClojureScript para #JavaScript, #Emacs Lisp para Emacs, #CommonLisp y #Racket para ejecutar en el equipo... Aunque yo te recomiendo que te quedes en un solo lenguaje y lo domines. No es necesario aprender todos los dialectos de Lisp, pero si es bueno conocerlos para entender sus diferencias y similitudes.
Si quieres aprender más sobre #Lisp, te recomiendo uno de mis libros favoritos: "Land of Lisp" de Conrad Barski. Es un libro divertido que te enseña a programar en Lisp mientras creas juegos y aplicaciones gráficas. También puedes encontrar muchos recursos en línea, por supuesto.
