Re: Some questions about the CL

Hi Jason,

this mailing list is about administration of the common-lisp.net server; nonetheless I can offer my _personal_ opinions.

I have some questions about the CL and I'm thankful if anyone replies to them based on the question number:

1- Why isn't Lisp updated anymore?

Because it became an ANSI Standard in 1994; you don't simply change standards on a whim.

OTOH, see https://github.com/cl21/cl21.

2- Why are there two websites? https://common-lisp.net%C2%A0and%C2%A0https://lisp-lang.org/

These represent different ways of supporting the CL user base and infrastructure.

3- Is Clojure an enhanced version of the CL?

No. Clojure differs on a few key points; it has a different architecture.

4- What is the updated version of CL?

CL.

Regards,

Phil
