A community for the Lisp family of programming languages.

Lisp (historically LISP) is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language. Only Fortran is older, by one year.

It's Friday, so I though it would be nice to have a social topic here. So here's a bunch of questions to stir up some discussions:

Which Lisp do you most often program in?
What does your Lisp development environment or IDE look like?
How did you get started with Lisp? Did you follow any particular articles to set up your environment or begin learning Lisp?

ℹ I don't consider myself a Lisp expert nor a professional.

Nowadays, I mostly use elisp to customise Emacs and write custom functions. Also some lines of CL using SBCL here & there to try out things.
I've never used anything but Emacs for Lisp (lisp-interaction-mode and slime).
I got my first Lisp book (I wanted to try out something different) when I got into the MSc in AI back in the university days. Turned out I wasn't really interested in AI and dropped out but the love for/fascination w/ Lisp never left 🙂
