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.
