In this podcast I get down to business with Robert Smith, the creator of Coalton, a language-within-a-language for Common Lisp. We cover a bunch of things, including:LISP through the yearsREPL-driven development (and why you might not always want a REPL attached!)What makes Common Lisp specialHow Coalton brings a powerful, Haskell-like type system to Common LispWriting efficient code without turning your beautiful Common Lisp code into pulpHad I given my podcasts titles, this one could be called "Much Ado About Macros"Episode links:Toward safe, flexible, and efficient software in Common LispDebugging Lisp in spaceA Road to Common LispCoaltonHackettstylewarning.com@stylewarning
