Lowering the barrier for entry in Common Lisp
To lower the barrier for entry into the Common Lisp ecosystem, consider including CL21 in the text of L(λ)THW from the beginning.
Considerations:
- Is CL21 stable and mature enough to document in a teaching resource?
- Will teaching CL21 from the beginning of L(λ)THW confuse new students of the language or help them understand ANSI Common Lisp better, by putting it in context?
- What structural work will be necessary to the existing text of L(λ)THW to make it conform to CL21?
- Are all discussed libraries compatible with CL21?
