Hello! Let us have another Friday social topic.
What type of problems do you solve using Lisp? Please share these details while answering:
- Which dialect of Lisp do you use?
- What problems do you solve?
- Why do you choose Lisp to solve these problems?
I have a feeling that this thread might get inundated with too many Emacs Lisp posts about solving personal productivity problems. That’s fine. But I suggest posting stuff about other dialects of Lisp too. The more dialects of Lisp (CL, Clojure, Racket, etc.) are discussed here, the better! We want to have a good variety of answers on this thread.
@cadar I develop my own symbolic computation package written in Common Lisp —using Maxima¹ as a library²— to help me in my research. It’s along the lines of SageManifolds³ and Maple’s DifferentialGeometry package⁴.
