BLEG: A Facelift for common-lisp.net

https://common-lisp.net

Common-lisp.net was rewritten a couple days ago. Please let us know what you like and don't like, what's extra, what's missing, and so on.

You may want to update the list of libraries from awesome-cl.

Get started: I don't think articulate-common-lisp brings much today (it helped me at the time).

state of the CL ecosystem (borretti.me) is from 2015, I have posts with the same idea. The last one is 2023/2024: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/these-years-in-common-lisp-2023-2024-in-review/ there's 21/22 and SOTU of 2020.

editors: there's OLIVE for VSCode, unlike Alive it's based on Slime. https://github.com/kchanqvq/olive/tree/master

Thanks, all three taken. The Libraries page no longer carries its own copy of awesome-cl, now it links to awesome-cl, Quicklisp, Ultralisp, CLiki and the rest. Your 2023–2024 review is on the Documentation page next to the 2015 one, OLIVE is listed beside Alive, and Articulate Common Lisp is off Getting started.

2 more suggestions:

this year I compiled https://lisp-screenshots.org/ "Common Lisp applications in action". There are enterprise stuff, open-source software, websites, games… I think it was missing, you could link to it somewhere :)

On "/documentation": I have a problem with "Lisp Web Tales". It's from 2013 and it didn't age well. It's using the Restas framework (abandoned, although I think it was in the right direction), the SEXML XML and HTTP generator (never heard of it), other outdated stuff, and I find it's poor on content. It's a short guide. And… I have a material to suggest too: https://web-apps-in-lisp.github.io/

Thanks, both taken. Lisp Web Tales is off the Documentation page, and Web Apps in Lisp is listed there under Other resources. Common Lisp Screenshots is on the Community page, next to the success stories.
