Show HN: A notebook-style Common Lisp environment

I don't know how the actual UI currently looks like, but even if it still looks like Windows XP, the IDE and Common Lisp compiler are still quite ahead compared with what Emacs + SLIME are capable of, specially in GUI related Lisp development workflows.

Maybe they could improve their marketing message, but I doubt most wannabe Common Lisp developers are willing to pay for comercial tools, with enterprise prices, even if they had the best marketing of all times.

Also, unless you are heavily invested in CL, most people actually can't afford to pay $600 on a compiler license per year.

Lispworks has a free "Personal Edition". It's good enough to get through something like Practical Common Lisp and get a feeling for writing lisp, however since it uses an old version of ASDF, it's a bit difficult to use the "modern" quicklisp ecosystem.

The LispWorks prices are not per year.
