       @scathach i also habe entertained the idea of just building stuff in emacs. would be a good way to make it easier to actually use it?

       @bonifartius The de-facto standard setup these days is the SBCL compiler with ASDF and Quicklisp for managing systems, usually used from Emacs with either sly or slime mode.  I use sly and it's absolutely top-tier

       @Moon @bonifartius I have several projects going but the big one is a library that provides an abstraction layer that lets you treat your file system as object storage where you can organize files with tags, import URls, and index everything into a full-text search database

       @Moon @bonifartius Thanks ^^It's been slow going and it's very immature right now but I'm hoping to have the core functionality completed to the point of being reasonably useful in a few months

       @useless_idiot Or you might be a real alpha and write your own Lisp.;-)@bonifartius

       @scathach @bonifartius Yeah, good recommendation. That's basically what i am using (just for hobby, unfortunately).But, but, but...if I would start again I would first learn Emacs' ELisp. It's quite similar to Common Lisp (esp. with the cl-lisp package) and it's immediately useful for your workflow. And it gives you time to get used to the idiosyncratic Lisp syntax.

       @bonifartius @scathach Last but not least, when you write for Emacs, you contribute to GNU.

       @akater @scathach i did some stuff with Tcl and i quite like it, so i'm kind of familiar with the idea of changing internals and metaprogramming. i don't really have the plan for something specific to write in lisp, i only like to learn new languages from time to time. that's why i had the idea of trying stuff with elisp - i might actually have a use for it then :)

       @bonifartius @akater Elisp is only useful if you want to hack on Emacs, but despite recent improvements like cl-lisp and native compilation it's really not a very good language in comparison to CLBecause of its age and overwhelming tech dept Emacs makes for a pretty poor application platform and will hopefully be deprecated sometime in the next decade in favour of a replacement written from the ground up in CL
