Latest news

2011-06-05
Migration has come to a close. Nearly all services are up and running again, with the exception of Arch and ArchZoom, for which support has been dropped. Here's a list of other changes:

• WebSVN repository browsing has been replaced: Subversion repository browsing is now handled by ViewVC.
• The mailing list web interface is now hosted on lists.common-lisp.net
• Subversion anonymous checkout is now also supported over HTTP through http://svn.common-lisp.net/<project>
• Trac has been upgraded to 0.11.7
• The standard Subversion post-commit hook integrates with Trac tickets, if a project also has Trac set up. To learn more about this integration, read the within-script documentation from the Trac repository

What is Common Lisp?

Common Lisp is the modern, multi-paradigm, high-performance, compiled, ANSI-standardized, most prominent (along with Scheme) descendant of the long-running family of Lisp programming languages.

Common Lisp is known for being extremely flexible, having excellent support for object oriented programming, and fast prototyping capabilities. It also sports an extremely powerful macro system that allows you to tailor the language to your application, and a flexible run-time environment that allows modification and debugging of running applications (excellent for server-side development and long-running critical software).

Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language that allows you to to choose the approach and paradigm according to your application domain.

You may find more of the Common Lisp community at these resources:

• CLiki
• Common Lisp Gardeners
• The comp.lang.lisp newsgroup
• The Association of Lisp Users
• #lisp on freenode.net
• The Common Lisp Directory
