☯ Excavated Lisp

This is a little assortment of places where I’ve found Lisp in the world:

Note: Some of these might be stretches, but I want to show the general, influence that my favourite language has had on the world

• Intel apparently
• Nasa has a lib and continued support for the upstream, mentions here
• Autodesk uses AutoLisp as a scripting language for their products
• Their forums sometimes help me solve CL stuff as well
• SCI engine used for Sierra adventure games uses an object oriented Lisp
• Kandria a new indie game developed in CL
• Spycursion is a CL game in development by (defun games ())
• GCC creates many different trees during compilation, some of the later ones are outputted in Lisp list syntax
• Guix is a package manager written in Scheme, capable of running a distro (it leans on the Nix daemon to run the builds, which is sadly C++)
• Shepherd is an Init system written in Guile Scheme
• GNU utilities either do now or plan to ship with extensibility through Guile Scheme (writing inline Lisp in makefiles for example)
• This article on Grammarly states that
  • Grammarly uses Common Lisp in production
  • Hipmunk uses Lisp
  • The London underground somehow uses Lisp
• Another article confirms the above and adds more
  • Boeing 747 and 777 for both internal software and
  • Boeing and Airbus apparently use Piano
    • which is a CL program for aircraft design
  • Circle CI
  • Hacker News is written in Arc
  • Franz Inc. uses CL heavily for data analysis

• The original Zork was written in a very simple Lisp
• Reddit 1.0 was written in Common Lisp: Github
  • If you can setup the database should be perfectly runnable today
• pgloader got a rewrite in Common Lisp around 2014 for performance reasons:
• Quil is a language (and associated Quantum Virtual Machine) written in Common Lisp
• Mezzano is a working operating system written in pure CL
  • Even boots on my hardware and runs absolutely smooth
• Awesome Lisp Company is a list of companies (and sometimes projects) using Lisp
• Companies using Lisp frin the Main lisp net site
