Perhaps; another reason I wouldn't use terminfo or termcap, my sense of aesthetics aside, is because that's POSIX nonsense you can't expect everywhere.

I've tried submitting patches for some awful issues to terminal maintainers or otherwise raising them, but with little success so far.

Maybe? Also, I don't think Julia really has the "system" mindset that CL and Smalltalk have

I will say that I quite like Julia, but it's a pretty different animal from lisp in most respects. There are pros and cons to both (as there are between any two languages) and some of that stuff is largely subjective

Yep, that is probably one of the biggest pains in the ass I've come across when messing around with it

To keep it somewhat on topic, Debian is a good system if you want to use Common Lisp.

There are a number of implementations available as packages; both SLIME and the HyperSpec are also packaged.

the author moved on but he did some really cool art with common lisp: https://inconvergent.net/2017/snek-is-not-an-acronym/

On amd64, I know that we can get SBCL, GCL, and ECL; by adding support for 32-bit libraries, we also can get CMUCL

madrik: how do I use the hyperspec though? Does the implementation know to look for it on the PC?

you can also set browse-url-function to 'eww-browse-url to open the file inside emacs

Common Lisp features many advanced (uncommon) mathematical facilities in the standard language.

There's some BLAS FFI things, some native libraries for matrices which might be a tad slower, and some other stuff in there.

most optimized (as in, knows the implementation details) mathematics for CL is graphics/game/real-time-physics math afaik.

https://gist.github.com/nodefunallowed/95b95469449124570f36bb05192b7ef8 is an example of a petalisp program

also i suggest you get a greek input method so you can write α and β, since a and b don't look as nice
