"Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose, object-oriented, dynamic, functional programming language. CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible, then of Karlsruhe University, and Michael Stoll, then of Munich University, both in Germany. It implements the language described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard with many extensions..."

"ANSI Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. GNU CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll of Munich University, both in Germany. It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard. It runs on most GNU and Unix systems (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX, Mac OS X and others) and on other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only 4 MB of RAM. It is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL..."

"Programming AI using standard programming languages, e.g., C/C++ or Java is not a good idea. It's too general purpose language. I'm considering to select between (Common) Lisp ..." -- Cool, but it's better on GNU systems ;-)

"There has been a new wave of interest in Common Lisp over the last few years. This paper is a November, 2007 survey of Common Lisp implementations that are currently being actively maintained. It also provides references to writings about why Lisp is interesting and important, Lisp textbooks, and useful Lisp resources including repositories of available libraries. I hope it will help you find the right implementation for your project or product..."

"I wrote Practical Common Lisp because I felt that Common Lisp needed a new introductory book that could ease folks raised on other languages into Common Lisp and then show them what it’s really all about..."

"Common Lisp: First Contact is an easy to read introduction to Lisp. The goal is to make you familiar with Lisp syntax and with how Lisp works. Nothing more than a basic understanding of computing is required..."

"A little more than three years ago there was a thread in comp.lang.lisp about what people were working on in Common Lisp. [...] Let's update this. What are you using Common Lisp for in 2008? What are you using to do it? I'll start [...] I primarily use SBCL on Linux, x86 and x86-64, with Emacs and SLIME. For deploying all my website stuff I use Edi-ware extensively: Hunchentoot, HTML-TEMPLATE, and CL-WHO. I use CLSQL for a few things too. For graphics work, I use mostly my own libraries.

How about you? Leave a comment and let me know."

"...This essay is meant to put off some common wishful thinking. As noted before, a major benefit of a emacs with Common Lisp or Scheme Lisp is that they provide a unified, packaged, system for development of these languages, and since it uses the same language to extend functionality of the editor, it will transparently increase the number of developers for the editor as well as the language..."
