p3r7/awesome-elisp: 🏵️ A curated list of Emacs Lisp development resources
One of those “awesome list” lists, of all things Emacs Lisp.

Yet another implementation of Common Lisp.
jank programming language - Clojure/LLVM/C++
A project to create a native code compiler for Clojure.
Hofstadter on Lisp: Atoms and Lists, re-printed in Metamagical Themas.
Well-known person writes about well-known programming language. Actually a good read from a historical perspective.
[trane]
Really interesting Lisp-based music live-coding tool.
Dune Shell
Dune is a shell designed for powerful scripting. Think of it as an unholy combination of bash and Lisp.
Exploring the Lisp Family of languages
An exploration of the Lisp family of languages.
Common Lisp Community Survey 2024 Results
Results of the 2024 Common Lisp community survey.
(glisp) - Online iteractive Lisp playground
A fun-looking online interactive Lisp playground; feels like the turtle graphics environments of old but with a Lisp.
Build Your Own Lisp
A book all about building your own Lisp.
Forsp: A Forth+Lisp Hybrid Lambda Calculus Language
It's a Forth. It's a Lisp. It's lambda calculus. It looks like fun and also something I'd never actually really use.
hissp: It's Python with a Lissp.
Another Lisp in Python.
Homoiconic Python - MOHAMMED JAMAL
Those who don't learn Lisp are doomed to reinvent it. Actually, those who do learn list are also doomed to reinvent it too. Here someone sort of reinvents Lisp in Python.
Common Lisp Quick Reference
A nicely-formatted quick reference document for Common Lisp.
From Zero To IDE with Emacs and LSP
Handy guide to getting going with lots of LSP goodness in Emacs.
vygr/ChrysaLisp: Parallel OS, with GUI, Terminal, OO Assembler, Class libraries, C-Script compiler, Lisp interpreter and more...
A Lisp-based operating system that can be run on many machines, and under the "main" OS.
Blurring the lines between shell and editor
Cool things to do to blur the line between Emacs and Eshell.
anathema: A theme library for CLIM applications - Codeberg.org
Theme library for McCLIM applications.
Lem
A programmer's editor written in Common Lisp, written for Common Lisp, which aims to be a good Common Lisp IDE; but which also works as an IDE for other languages too.
Think Emacs in Common Lisp.
(How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python))
This page has two purposes: to describe how to implement computer language interpreters in general, and in particular to build an interpreter for most of the Scheme dialect of Lisp using Python 3 as the implementation language. I call my language and interpreter Lispy (lis.py). Years ago, I showed how to write a semi-practical Scheme interpreter Java and in in Common Lisp). This time around the goal is to demonstrate, as concisely and simply as possible, what Alan Kay called "Maxwell's Equations of Software."
A Tour of the Lisps
A pretty comprehensive tour of the main Lisps in play as of the end of 2023.
Common Lisp's BLOCK / RETURN-FROM and UNWIND-PROTECT
A nice description of how Common Lisp implements non-local flow control.
Running Open Genera 2.0 on Linux
A guide (that, as per the into, is now kind of old) to getting Open Genera running on GNU/Linux.
Pydvice: An attempt at bringing (defadvice ...) from Elisp to Python
An implementation of Emacs Lisp's defadvice, for Python.
Sadly thr library itself is very old (14 years old at the time of recording this), and only for Python 2. There is, however, a PR in the repo that makes it work with Python 3.
Elisp in replacement string
Something I've never really paid attention to, and it's actually quite a powerful feature: when doing search/repalce in Emacs you can replace with Elisp code (as in, Elisp code can provide the replacement).
Common Lisp: An interactive approach
Electronic book introducing Common Lisp.
Common Lisp Nova Spec
A very clean presentation of the Common Lisp HyperSpec
Writing Small CLI Programs in Common Lisp / Steve Losh
These Years in Common Lisp: 2022 in review - Lisp journey
A revew of Common Lisp's 2022.
