/prog/ - Starting Common Lisp

sup /prog/

I've been interested in the World of Lisp lately.
Searching around I found a couple of common lisp implementations (CLISP, GNU LISP and SBCL).
What tools and implementations does /prog/ use?

Emacs has a special lisp mode, what's /prog/'s opinion on it?

please enlighten a poor soul

Use SBCL with Linux. Clisp for Windows. When it comes to Emacs, get SLIME.

Common Lisp is an obsolete Lisp dialect. Use Racket or Clojure.

Ignore >>3. Racket is shit and Clojure offers nothing new to the table.

Lies. At the very least, Clojure offers painless parallelism without locks. Parallel code in CL looks like imperative diarrhea full of locks, indistinguishable from Java. It's embarrassing.

elisp sucks

common lisp is better but still not where it's at

racket on the other hand

Too bad software transactional memory is slow as molasses.

Chicken is the shit, compiles tons of languages, has a bunch of extension support, uses SICP Scheme by default I think.

I use SBCL and ClozureCL (not to be confused with Clojure) as my implementations of choice (I also use others as it's easy to install more).
Emacs+SLIME+Paredit+Redshank as the editor/environment in which I actually write/test/debug the code that I write.
