Lisp Community

Pre-Scheme being a bootstrapping compiler for Schemes and an alternative to implementation in C.

Here comes a new Friday social topic!

1. What was the first computer you ever worked/played on?
2. What was the first editor you used to write computer programs?
3. What programming language did you write your first program in?
4. How many days/months/years after you wrote your first program did you learn Lisp?
5. What was your first Lisp?
6. Which editor/IDE do you work with the most today?
7. What programming languages do you work with the most today?
8. Which Lisp do you work with the most today?

Just wanted to share some (exciting) news about my Common Lisp project, euler-cl. I finally got the time to sit down and integrate it with Codecov! This means a couple of cool things:

• 📈 Test Coverage Tracking: I can now see how well my code is tested over time, giving valuable insights into code quality.
• 🏅 Codecov Badge: euler-cl now sports a snazzy Codecov badge to show off!
• 📦 Reusable Setup: The code and setup process should be simple enough to be used as a reference to integrate Codecov (and potentially other services) into your own Common Lisp projects!

If you're interested this commit is almost all you need: https://github.com/bahmanm/euler-cl/commit/855b014

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or want to chat about integrating Codecov into your own projects!

Hello! This is another Friday Social topic. Hoping that this will be more insightful than the previous ones and we will learn something useful from this.

What useful open source projects are written in Common Lisp? To keep it interesting, try and avoid posting links to your own projects because that could turn into a thread of self-promoters. Instead share open source projects developed by others that you have come across. Here goes the questions:

1. Name one project (that is not already mentioned by others in this thread) that is written in Common Lisp.

2. Which OSI-approved license is the project released under?

3. Are you the author of this project? (I recommend that the answer to this be "No").

4. Who is/are the author(s) or team(s) behind this project?

5. Why is this project useful?

6. What in your opinion is the best thing about this project?

7. If you could recommend only one improvement that should be made in this project, what would it be?

Restricting this topic to "Common Lisp" so that we do not end up with a large list of Emacs packages. We will do similar thread for other Lisps in future. The project must be open source.

Friday Social is back! So we know we are all Lisp programmers here and we love the language and use it.

But I am sure some of us work with other languages too. Like I have to work with C, C++, Python and a number of other languages to work on different projects. I am sure some of you do too.

So the questions for this Friday Social are:

1. What Lisp programming languages do you use?
2. What non-Lisp programming languages do you use?
3. What is your favorite Lisp programming language? Why?
4. What is your favorite non-Lisp programming language? Why?
5. What is that one thing about your favorite non-Lisp language that you wish to see in your favorite Lisp language?

Happy Friday!
