I Now Work Professionally in Common Lisp O_o - Lisp journey

I’ve been paid to work on Common Lisp projects for a company for three months already. I didn’t expect it :) And we did hire !My Github profile shows a good part of what my experience is. I am a regular “full stack developper”, with 7 years of professional experience. I worked on diverse Python and Javascript projects for huge to small companies, private and public. When I re-discovered Common Lisp, I saw it solved a lot of problems I had developing and deploying medium to large software, and it promised to solve all of them (we’re nearly there :D ).

What problems does lisp solve?

vindarel commented 2 years ago

@getgle For me, it solves many issues I have with Python, see: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/ Especially: compile-time type errors and warnings (not as much as modern languages, but much more than Python and pretty useful already), faster development loop, faster software, easier deployment with the binaries (but sometimes I just run from sources), richer language, better built-in IDE, especially if one uses Emacs and SLIME, etc. For some tasks CL needs more work (want a full-featured web app in less than 5 minutes? No, not yet possible), but for others it's great (background jobs, glue scripts, simple web apps, complicated requirements or… anything actually).
