Core

Learning

If you are a beginner to CL, this challenge will help you to get started with setting up a development environment from scratch and begin the journey of learning CL together with other community members.

Reading /practicing CL programming

Scripting

Common Lisp as a Scripting Language, 2015 edition - Cybernethics / Cybernéthique — LiveJournal

Install cl-launch:

git clone https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/xcvb/cl-launch.git
cd cl-launch
make
make install
which cl
/usr/local/bin/cl

Example script – cllaunch1.lsp:

#!/usr/bin/cl -sp lisp-stripper -E main
(defun main (argv)
  (if argv
      (map () 'print-loc-count argv)
      (print-loc-count *standard-input*)))

Run it: chmod +x cllaunch1.lsp

Fails with: Component "lisp-stripper" not found, required by #<SYSTEM "cl-launch-build-0">

To fix this, i cloned https://github.com/fare/lisp-stripper to ~/common-lisp, and the above problem goes away. Next it fails to find cl-ppcre.

I do remember installing it using quicklisp – ls ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cl-ppcre-20190521-git.
