Very well written article. After a long time, I read an article from top to bottom without losing focus.

Turbo C. I liked how it came with support libraries to develop programs with audio, graphics and normal text. It is really what got me into game programming. It was a much simpler world. No analysis paralysis about what which game ask to use. Can draw a point on a screen. Can draw a line. Can play a tone. After that it was all the programmer's imagination and creativity.

Why did this get downvoted? This is correct description of the project. It is even written in readme.

The article uses nano throughout. Is nano a popularly used editor? I have not seen anyone around using nano. I see vim, atom, sublime, vs code but never nano. Just curious if nano is popular.

If nano is popular what are its pros and cons?

I forgot to ask in my main question. I can't edit it anymore.

I am seriously thinking of learnijg common lisp. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Is it possible to build web apps in common lisp or any lisp? Any frameworks available?

Is it possible to build multithreaded apps that use multiple CPU cores for performance? What is used? POSIX threads?

Why is common lisp ugly? Many people here suggested common lisp. I was considering it. I like to learn for fun but I am looking for something practical. I will want to build some useful apps in the end with it.

"If you mean Common Lisp, I'd say install SBCL and start playing with with the repl"

I meant any lisp. Common lisp, clojure, ccl. I am new to this so did not have a choice. But in this thread I get the feeling that common lisp is the most suggested.
