  • more-docstrings

    Augment the docstring of built-in CL functions

  • I started a CL library just for that: enhance the built-in doc of symbols that lack one. https://github.com/ciel-lang/more-docstrings It's only the start, but I use it and should carry on. Pull requests are easy and welcome.

  • ready-lisp

    A distribution of Aquamacs, SBCL and SLIME which offers the simplest way to run Common Lisp on Mac OS X

  • Anyway, we do lack Common Lisp info manuals in Emacs docs. You can git clone from the Gcl compiler, or clone from J. Wigleys read-lisp, but you will have to manually install them into Emacs (thus far). Gcl have lots of parts related to Gcl itself, but the hyperspec works fine (just ignore gcl parts), while Wiegleys is just hyperspec.

  • cl-cookbook

    The Common Lisp Cookbook

  • For more beginner-friendly, I suggest P. Siebels Practical Common Lisp or The CL Cookbook. Both of those should be available in Emacs info format! If authors are lurking in here :-)

  • helpful

    A better Emacs *help* buffer

  • Elisp Docs are fantastic they have documented everything while with CL most documentation is missing or only on the Web. With Emacs, one need to learn about C-h f (describe-function), C-h k (describe-key), helpful.el and elisp-demos and a new world opens. Terminology is always different, simple example: Microsoft terminology sounds like bullshit, to a Unix person.

  • elisp-demos

    Demonstrate Emacs Lisp APIs
