Hacker News Reader

Common Lisp has a really tiny community despite showing up a lot on hacker news (the shadow of Paul Graham talking it up years ago?) It's not even in the top 50 GitHub languages.

And today I learned its main web server library Hunchentoot has a huge unpatched security bug? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32950465

We use common lisp in production at https://graphmetrix.com and use one of the fastest webservers available (one of many libraries) woo https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

Well, there's always Rosetta Code (see: https://rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Common_Li...) which is essentially the same thing.

Yeah, I was also kind of hoping to see Scheme or CL.

If I get some free time I may see if I can contribute some code.

I think if you want to see an algorithm there in some language, you have to find out how to contribute that yourself. People starting projects like this don't know every language and don't have time.

I hate this argument - who ((uses) -L this) in practice?) aka, nobody working a job does this.
