# Common Lisp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Things that I like about Common Lisp:
|
||
|
|
- It's an S-expression based language.
|
||
|
|
- It has a powerful macro system
|
||
|
|
- It has a unique way of handling-errors
|
||
|
|
- It is highly introspectible
|
||
|
|
- The tooling integration with Emacs is the best I have ever seen for any language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Things that I don't like about Common Lisp:
|
||
|
|
- I find its standard libraries difficult to use and -- compared to modern
|
||
|
|
libraries -- like Golang's or Elixir's standard libraries, Common Lisp's
|
||
|
|
libraries are clunky
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As such, I would like to modernize CL's libraries to resemble other libraries
|
||
|
|
with which I am more familiar and, therefore, productive.
