A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

Hello! Let us have another Friday social topic.

What type of problems do you solve using Lisp? Please share these details while answering:

Which dialect of Lisp do you use?
What problems do you solve?
Why do you choose Lisp to solve these problems?

I have a feeling that this thread might get inundated with too many Emacs Lisp posts about solving personal productivity problems. That's fine. But I suggest posting stuff about other dialects of Lisp too. The more dialects of Lisp (CL, Clojure, Racket, etc.) are discussed here, the better! We want to have a good variety of answers on this thread.

Oh wow, I had seen this presentation back when it first came out in 2018 and had forgotten about it! Thanks for reminding me!

@Ramin_HAL9001 I feel like they have made less presentations of late, but the repo commits say that they are still working on it
