What Lisp Dialect for "real world" programming
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 4:27 am
Hey there,
i am kinda new to programming (former system administrator). I am currently learning Elixir, but i want to dive into a second language, too.
I read about Lisp and i like the syntax of it as far i can tell.
My question is, what is the "best" dialect to choose, if i plan to build real world applications like a desktop GUI for Windows environment?
- I read about Clojure having a slow startup speed (True and important?)
- Clisp seems to be good, but the "good" implementations are quite heavy in the price (Allegro and Lispworks)
- Racket and Scheme are mainly used for academic purposes, true?
I appreciate all answers!
P.S. Yes, i looked into C#, but i just can't stand the syntax of it... I don't know why.
Greetings,
Sy
