Key quotes
· 4 pulledIt's never been easy for a developer to get started in Common Lisp.
Emacs, though a powerful editor, isn't considered an IDE by modern standards.
Setting up a compiler, quicklisp, slime, swank, and then learning an entirely new programming paradigm has scared off many would-be entrants to the Common Lisp community.
