Rewatching videos about common lisp on a Saturday while drinking a coffee :) life is good :D

This is the best beginner tutorial I have found. You cover enough info for it be challenging at first but not overwhelming. I learned a lot. I'm definitely going to watch all the parts.

I am not learning CL, but I have tried a few lisps in the past (for fun and for trying something different) and I really enjoyed watching this video! I find the way you explain what you are doing very clear and the pace is just perfect, keep up with the good work!

I'm so grateful that i discovered this tutorial so early in my journey of learning Common Lisp.
As you said, it's important to know how to use Emacs to take full advantage of the Lisp ecosystem.. Awesome :D

[robertopinheirodomingos]

Excelent, those tips about emacs where great

Good tutorial! Unfortunately, I cannot see the mini-buffer. Don't use full screen. YouTube controller hides mini-buffer, what's being typed in REPL, etc.

Thanks for this tutorial. I've been running Slime (yeah I know) with emacs and didn't realize I could have the repl in the next buffer to evaluate my expressions! Great video ! (Love the accent too! My favorite beverage comes your neck of the woods from the Ishtay isles! :) )

Thank you very much, you make such great videos! 👍

Portacle is also a great option. Everything you need to get started.

Learning Lisp, and while I was not overly interested in emacs (used vim for years), you made a stellar case for using it with the REPL. Only thing is, its really dificult to follow what/why you are doing what you are doing with the explanations following the output. I don't know, maybe I'm used the the standard here's how you create vars/symbols, here is input, here is output, lets demo Still nice to see someone trying to help others out!

Nice video, thanks for the good work 🤗

Thank you for this quality lisp tutorial. Btw, don't do the python one please, there are already gazillions python tutorials.

At around 9.00 you needed non-local transfer of control to escape the debugger - so abort was the only option to close it, or am I wrong?

You could turn-on or mention the show-paren-mode. Also paren-face-mode. Also company-mode.

Excellent video.
Any idea how Common Lisp stands in the world of microservices ? killer UI ? i know the history of CL but how to make this language popular in enterprise environment? Will Common lisp beat golang or Java?

[kanglei]

Is there any commercial open source project for this?

(string-equal) does not pay attention to the register of lines.
