CL resources
2023-08-12


Common Lisp is a lisp dialect with an official ANSI specification (X3J13), but multiple different implementations.
The one I primarly use is ECL, but I'm also using SBCL sometimes, which is the most popular choice.
There should be no difference regardless of which implementation you go with.
Lisp is a wonderful language, and below is a list of resources for learning more about Common Lisp, also for my future reference.
