Any ANSI Compliant CL will work on all implementations that are ANSI compliant

So in short, yes, except for any third party libraries

I really enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing. Love the screenshots!

It’s hard because subscription services hit a sweet spot in human psychology - cheap on a monthly basis so many are happy (can you go back to paying 400$ for software unless it’s something you are 100% guaranteed to want and use for a long time), and expensive in the long run so businesses are happy (also recurring stable revenues)

It’s unfortunate, but I don’t see a reversal any time soon. If I was a developer I would also want to do subscription based services, would you (put yourself in the shoes of someone running a software company)?

It’s criminal how many times I have paid for Microsoft Office though.

For a small business, heck for most of us, that’s too much

Well unless people are selling their hacker news accounts, it’s seems genuine and I just think the poster was very appreciative and hence posting. Sometimes we can all be too cynical

Congratulations on it. I use Common Lisp myself, but always great to see energy and passion in other languages, especially in the Lisp family of languages (but I am clearly biased).

Does sublime support vim keys?

From all accounts, this seems to be cashing out and getting retail to hold the bag before the hype train ends

Unfortunate state of affairs

Great work and congrats!

You see, Show HN is usually for toy projects. Something bigger could be Launch HN ;)

I guess people really like building Lisps, glad to see their infectious energy. But I do get your opinion, it sort of just is like a homework problem, not particularly noteworthy (except for the first couple of times it was done).

So where does that leave us? Everything has been done before, so if we judged these projects too harshly, then there wouldn’t be anything left.

For me personally, seeing a new lisp always brings a smile, it’s a certain continuity once can rely on in our ever changing discipline ;) A rite of passage to read SICP and then implement a Lisp and show it to the world :-)

Why even the site founder started writing his owns lisps ;)
