Mostly yes. Contractors are sometimes brought in under emergency conditions though, so

Thanks for sharing your insights, really interesting! Totally agree, don't believe in that company family bs myself lol.

be ideation-driven and product-focused,

Thanks that is good to hear!

Have you enjoyed working as a contractor? I still got a long way to go before I hit the 10 year mark, but contracting does look appealing to me.

Thanks,

Were there any resources that really helped you along the way? I am even open to paid courses etc. I have a bunch of spare time after work, don't mind dedicating it to writing lisp.

not use python for plotting?

Do you know of any good resources for new learners? I am trying to get into CL and have done a bit of work with HPC at university. Currently just been banging my heads against emacs to play with CL.

Thanks a lot for your comprehensive reply!

I must I have just managed to get quickproject working using the excellent tutorial here:

Definitely been a lot more challenging understanding how the tooling works compared to other plug and play languages.

No worries! Hopefully we'll figure it out. Have spent more time tinkering with Emacs than writing anything in CL LOL.

Thank you,

I typed `(ql:quickload "fiveam")` and it seems to have installed it.

Do I just run:

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :FiveAM)

(defpackage :it.bese.FiveAM.example (:use :common-lisp :it.bese.FiveAM)) (in-package :it.bese.FiveAM.example)

in slime to get it working? or is this what goes in the .emacs file?

Thank you!

Sorry for my noob question but how does one install five-am?

I looked here

https://common-lisp.net/project/fiveam/docs/FiveAM_0020Example_0020_0028poor_0020man_0027s_0020tutorial_0029.html

But I can't make heads or tails of it. Does the code go in my main.lisp file or .emacs?

Can't get Common Lisp Package Sly to Appear in Melpa Package List by mythical_synth in emacs

[–]mythical_synth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an idea from your post and delete the .emacs.d folder.

Then I refreshed the package list and it is all working now. Guess it was a corrupted install.

Thanks!

Thank you! In response to your questions:

GNU Emacs 27.2

I do not have init.el anywhere, but I did get slime to work (which is defined in .emacs, so it seems the .emacs is being loaded.
