Ask HN: Production Lisp in 2020?

I am also working on an app using LispWorks [1]. If you want, please contact me and we can jump on a call and share experiences.

Off topic, but many years ago I had lunch with Larry Tesler (John Koza was also there) and Larry knew of my CL book from the 1980s and pitched me to rewrite it in Dylan. That might have changed my career trajectory.

I don't generally like synchronous calls, but for you I might make an exception. Also feel free to drop me a line at [email protected].

I liked and admired Larry. I considered him a friend. Once I sat with Steve Jobs in my office at NeXT and argued about Larry's virtues. I took the pro-Larry position.

Your lunch was probably around the time I was working on that Lisp OS at Apple. That was Larry's idea, too.

If you don't hear from me, it's not because I don't want to talk with you; it's because I'm forgetful (one reason I like email better than synchronous calls. Inboxes remember things that I forget.)

Knowledge Graph Navigator sort of intersects with some of my running interests--particularly knowledge representation and frame stores.
