With Lisp in a Box as my IDE - http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/ Well, that project, as you noted is pretty dead. You might want to take a look at http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/lispbox/ It's similarly dead but died more recently than the ohter. And very occasionally comes back from the dead to get updated with new Lisps. But it is just a convenient packaging of Emacs + SLIME + a Lisp. It's not all that terribly hard to put the pieces together yourself if you're willing to learn a bit about Emacs which you'll almost certainly want to do anyway if you're going to actually be a Lisp programmer. For discussion comp.lang.lisp is generally active though often annoying in various ways. #lisp is also generally active and occasionally annoying in other ways. But as long as you're actually interested in learning Lisp people will be pretty friendly and helpful. -Peter -- Peter Seibel http://www.codersatwork.com/ http://www.gigamonkeys.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
