		iLemming on Sept 10, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Lisp Curse (2011) Even the famous long time Lisp aficionados like Paul Graham today recommend Clojure instead of CL. That seems to be more pragmatic choice.

I like Clojure, but whether it is a more pragmatic choice (or if it’s even a Lisp) is a bit off topic here.

If someone asks me for advice on how to get started with Common Lisp I will point them them to CL resources.
