The Joy and Agony of Haskell in Production

Thanks, but I'm not very productive in Lisp. Lisp development environments need emacs and emacs and my brains are not compatible. I've tried the 15 years to pick it up time and again but to no avail. Last time I even made a cheat sheet for myself (a link here as a proof of effort):

Given the platform availability I'm pretty sure C++ will eventually reach the living fossil status Lisp and Fortran have.

With all the activity with C++ development it'll hardly ever stabilise. Ever since C++11 it keeps changing at a frightening pace.

And you don't really need Emacs for Lisp, there are multiple other options (but yes, I'm using Emacs for C++ too).

Btw., quite a nice cheat sheet. What did you use to make it?

What's the best alternative to emacs for common lisp development?

Thanks. Inkscape.

LispWorks is really nice. I've seen some people using Dandelion with Eclipse (although never tried it myself). It's also possible to interact with SWANK in vim, if you're into such things.

Wow. Never even thought of it in such a context. I'll definitely give it a try.
