#lisp Timeline

10d

I wrote a followup #article about #lisp 's position in the #programming language #TIOBE rankings top 25 for 2025 including notes from the article's thread.

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/momentary/further-arguments-on-tiobe-lisp/

where I give examples of possibly (not) including historic languages in the list, #scheme viewed as a middle-aged lisp,

speculation about Visual Basic '98 as another completely-stable and reliably supported similarly-to-lisp target,

examples of how the ANSI standardised language still evolves.

A bar plot titled

"Years of programmer experience and compiler maturity with the language used today of TIOBE index's top 25 programming languages of 2025"

- only lisp and Visual Basic '98 are more than babies (and both about 30- lisp just over, VB '98 just under)

https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/115533182674747915

- several notes on islisp https://islisp.info/

- Tool reuse versus new #programming

- Learning using only symbols?

- questions thread included a discussion of @JohnMashey viz unix

Ah, I didn't tell anyone but in two hours I am going to be talking to @alexshendi about the #lisp assembly happening in Germany on the #peertube #live. (9am Sunday CET) = 2.5 hours from now

channel : https://toobnix.org/a/screwtape/videos

EDIT: LIVE NOW SCROLL DOWN #C3
EDIT2: FINISHED NOW (#archive will come up when the 'live' stops being available). Remember to spread the word that Alex is looking for lisp around C3, happening late December and to talk directly to him if you have an idea

ON THE HOUR
#lispyGopherClimate with @kentpitman #live follow-up to last week's two interviews:
https://archives.anonradio.net/202511190000_screwtape.mp3
Loose plan:
- Ask a new question here
- lisp view on unix promoting tool reuse over new #programming - does this relate to lisp's advice?
- #ML using symbols (only?).
- Hypercard
- Juxtaposing assembly and #lisp

#climateCrisis this week is getting to 29C here and it's too hot
In the second half I would like to cool down, also featuring @jns @Cat @ramin_hal9001
#lambdaMOO #VR

Published in 1987, "Xerox LOOPS, A Friendly Primer" is a concise tutorial to the LOOPS (Lisp Object-Oriented Programming System) object extension of Interlisp. Some chapters of this copy are in the wrong order but all the content is there.

#plan9 people, are you aware of any #Lisp implementation for Plan9/9front? Simple search didn't turn up anything for me. But there must be Lisp for 9, because... there's always some Lisp for any system! Anything I'm missing?

Actually, there's aa (https://git.sr.ht/~ft/aa), but it seems wildly incomplete. So any pointers on more complete systems is appreciated!

The best WebAssembly lispy language is released. Guile Hoot 0.6.0 is in the wild now.

The most exciting update for me is an implementation of macroexpander, which means eval is around the corner and we can start working on Hoot support for Arei/Ares Guile Scheme IDE soon.

8pm Tuesday Boston time
#lispyGopherClimate #commonLisp #astrophysics #supercomputing #softwareEngineering #archive , https://communitymedia.video/w/9kysH4ZwVuP4J4erZozqFT we will have (now done) a live interview with

https://as.tufts.edu/physics/people/faculty/ken-olum

about the recent largest-ever cosmic string simulation also introducing their new spacetime-volume pseudo-parallel simulation technique, relating to gravitational backreaction.

People sometimes ask, "who uses common lisp today".

Olum learned #lisp from John McCarthy.

Sorry I've been AWOL.
https://lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/nicclim

Since I am encouraging all #lisp people into #itchio #gamedev space (#lispgames !) I uploaded a #mcclim Map Editor tool so that I wasn't just-saying-things.

It's kind of cool but definitely exploratory.

I hope there can be even more commonlisp and *specifically* Common Lisp Interface Manager applications in itch.io. I guess the tags "common lisp", "common lisp interface manager" and "mcclim" should start to track.

Thoughts, criticisms, welcome.

A McCLIM GUI window.
The menu bar across the top has cursor, mov, addrem and log.
The two large panes across the middle are an interactor on the left, "Command: |" and presumably the map being edited displayed in a cell-boxed grid on the right filled with As and Bs.
Across the bottom are five oversized smaller panes,
y=0, x=0, has (A), cur1=NIL, cur2=NIL

ALT

An emacs window with two frames. On the left is a scratch filed with eev style common lisp interactions; on the right is an ECL slime repl playing those out. A small file's contents are copied over a rectangle in a larger file, all (A)s and (B)s used in the 'maps' in the example.

@FediVideo hey, I have two peertube accounts, @screwtape which has extended weekly archives of the years-running Tuesday-evening-in-the-Americas #lispyGopherClimate and @screwtape@toobnix.org which has the peertube live recordings of the Sunday-morning-in-europe-peertube-live edition.

Kind of #lisp (programming language) community news, also heavily featuring the longest running online virtual reality, lambdaMOO, the gopher and similar topics. Sort of retrocomputing but also bleeding edge.
