Hi Jason, this mailing list is about administration of the common-lisp.net server; nonetheless I can offer my _personal_ opinions. > I have some questions about the CL and I'm thankful if anyone replies > to them based on the question number: > > 1- Why isn't Lisp updated anymore? Because it became an ANSI Standard in 1994; you don't simply change standards on a whim. OTOH, see https://github.com/cl21/cl21. > 2- Why are there two > websites? https://common-lisp.net and https://lisp-lang.org/ These represent different ways of supporting the CL user base and infrastructure. > 3- Is Clojure an enhanced version of the CL? No. Clojure differs on a few key points; it has a different architecture. > 4- What is the updated version of CL? CL. Regards, Phil
