I've been curious about Common Lisp in the past but never really got started because I can't seem to find very good documentation. What do veteran CL users use as a reference? This maybe? http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index...

I suppose I've "become accustomed to a certain lifestyle" coming from Racket's excellent documentation. But even if you ignore Racket, the R6RS reference (for example) seems way more readable than the CL spec: https://docs.racket-lang.org/r6rs/r6rs-std/index.html Same goes for Clojure, which I've never used: https://clojure.org/reference/documentation

This is not meant to be an attack on Common Lisp; I'm just trying to learn.

EDIT: I just saw https://lisp-lang.org/spec/ which says "We're currently working on parsing the TeX sources of the specification to generate a more modern version of the CLHS. This might take a while." I'm looking forward to seeing the result!

Norvig's PAIP is what won me over from Scheme to Common Lisp. https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp
