Why Common Lisp Is Now the Best Programming Language

Like asn1, relational DB drivers, Redis, protobuf, XML/YAML/JSON parsing, web client/server, and SDKs for stuff like AWS. Not saying Common Lisp lacks well-maintained versions of those, cause I don't know, just that those are the foundational things I wouldn't want LLM-coded.

Also anything that does image/video processing or cryptography. Both are susceptible to severe security vulnerabilities the average programmer wouldn't think about, e.g. https://heif-heist.com

Thanks for the list. (And Common Lisp does have those things.)
