Hi, you have to compile them on their respective platform, with possible help of a CI system. Or compile a Windows version on Wine: I read that the Kandria game's version is built like this.

Example Github actions: https://github.com/melusina-org/make-common-lisp-program

Example software that ships for all three platforms (in addition of an AppImage): https://github.com/VitoVan/calm

This one has a readtable with C-style /* */ comments: https://github.com/y2q-actionman/with-c-syntax (found on awesome-cl)

For those who don't know it already: https://github.com/Shinmera/for

yeah I agree there's a pain barrier… I don't shy away from using libraries that make my life easier:

hash-tables: f* yes, I'm frustrated by their verbosity and that they don't show their content on print. => use Serapeum's dict and toggle-pretty-print-hash-table. https://github.com/ruricolist/serapeum/blob/master/REFERENCE.md#dict-rest-keys-and-values

(dict :a 1 :b 2)  ;; => is printed the same, so you can READ it back in.

I use access for a generic access to alists, plists, hash-tables, object slots… until I feel it's too slow, but that's not often, given I mostly do web. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/data-structures.html#appendix-a---generic-and-nested-access-of-alists-plists-hash-tables-and-clos-slots

data structure manipulation methods: see above link, hope it helps, and awesome-cl#data-structures for ideas. For instance, what about https://git.sr.ht/~fosskers/cl-transducers ("a "modern" API with map, filter, take, repeat, cycle, fold…") (below under "Iteration"). I know I always paste those links but damn I wish I had them when starting ;)

doc

for the official one: https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html (interactive search, oh my!) and novaspec.org/ (not open-sourced, waiting if possible)

for libraries, I'll say that today we can afford the luxury to ignore libraries with bad doc, we'll find another with decent ones. Let's find examples?

You can keep the same ASDF snippets between projects and be done with it.

Yes, you can (load "file.lisp") in the REPL and have a somewhat interactive session (or start everything from scratch everytime…). I just read an ecstatic comment about that yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38374577

+1 for long talking. My attempt at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBBS4FeY7XM 5min, shows how we can restart a running program from any point in the stack trace, without restarting the program from zero.

Some more I recommend: https://www.cliki.net/Lisp%20Videos

duplicate ;)

mmh… the features to list dependencies? And building a tar archive (with CL's tar).

(not the author btw)

Does it have an advantage over the existing logging libraries? https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#logging

lots of tools

as tuhdo answered, do you know lots of tools that offer to restart your program from any point in the stack, after a bug occurred, possibly saving you hours of re-computing? demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBBS4FeY7XM That's really a CL power IMO.

also in this one/ https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#technology "lisp" is above Clojure OCmal Julia Erlang F# Fortran Ada...

thanks! Updated awesome-cl. You could update/redirect from your previous gist: https://gist.github.com/marcuskammer/366964f7d569317429773b82a4dafbf9
