Good talk! I wish Alan had shown the hyperspec page for the LOOP macro, it's pretty nuts.
I was contemplating about getting into CommonLisp, but it just looked very arcane.
Giving this amount condensed background, history and REPL examples both confirmed my worries, but also enduced some appetite for learning it.
Thanks, Alan!
You’d be surprised how quickly it all comes together once you start playing with it. Common Lisp is a beautifully easy language to use. My advice is to ignore all the conceptual stuff at first (you don’t really need to understand it) and just start writing small programs. You can get a web server running in just a few lines of code!

Thanks for this! And for the pointer to Kalman Reti's Symbolics demo.
It's mirrored on his site at MIT if you can't find it here. Loper-OS has blogged about it as well.
Common Lisp is the language for legends, is the greatest hack that allows for multiple other hacks. In the Scheme world I think the closest would be Chez, Racket is wonderful but is too academic and I think it needs some stewardship towards a more industrial implementation of racket.
Common Lisp for the win
for me Clojure shines for three reasons: (1) Rich Hickey; (2) it’s a Lisp; (3) it can be used for web apps
Where can I find the link for the screencast with the Symbolics employee? Thanks in advance.
If you search for Kalman Reti on TH-cam a couple pop up.
@@alandipert Thank you for the quick reply. Great talk, I come from the dark side, cl.
Racket is where it's at
