Not sure how my article even made it onto HN but HN has been my home page for 16 years so I'm pretty stoked.
A quick note, Common Lisp tooling documentation exists in a LOT of places, but I could not find a single beginner friendly map of the full development stack, so had a long chat with various LLM's to spin one up. Regardless of your views on this approach to things I hope the article helps some people get a better mental model of what the pieces are and how they fit together. It's helped me wade through a lot of choices and debug a few things.
- arikrahman 6mo agoAwesome! I've been reading SICP and Land of Lisp, and wanted to get a good idea of the ecosystem but was overwhelmed by the documentation. Thanks for making it easier for us!
- jadefox 6mo agoThanks, that was exactly me.
- vindarel 6mo agomore importantly, as you precise below, you edited (and somewhat corrected) the article after feedback from /r/lisp. So it isn't only AI output.
- jadefox 6mo agothe r/lisp crew have been a fantastic resource and help, lots of the deepest lisp knowledge there!
- 0bytematt 6mo agoSome time ago I read "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (scheme), but it gave me a lot of appreciation for Lisp in general. It's not that often I stumble upon articles about this language, but when I do I always give them a read. I found this one interesting so I posted it here. Glad it made it to the front page!
- jadefox 6mo agoMystery solved! Thank you, much appreciated and glad you found it worth the read. Front page was definitely a nice surprise :)
