First Common Lisp Video using Portacle IDE

This is a test video to see if I can get a decent quality video. I am using a bundle created by Shinmera called portacle play around with CL without having to install a bunch of packages. Portacle contains emacs, sbcl, slime, quicklisp, and git. Emacs is the text editor. SBCL is the implementation of Common Lisp that Portacle uses. Slime is the IDE (inside emacs), slime has a backend called swank, think of it as the server and slime as the client. These two let us interact with an sbcl repl (Read Eval Print Loop). Portacle can be found here: Shinmera is also making a game in common lisp that will be on Steam, if all works out. I may make the next video about it. So if anyone is wondering if you can make a game in CL then shinmera is probably the person to follow at the moment, as it is work in progress. You can find a demo of Kandria here: cheers, ribbit
