tried to get the Apache Commons HTTP client in my project but it uses raw sockets, something GAE forbids.

Prepare your Lisp environment(s)
I haven't tried these tips, but they appear to be mostly sensible.
-
This page primarily focuses on SBCL as
the open source Lisp system.

great tip on getting started with SLIME

the bottom line, and follow the instructions from there to let
Emacs set the value for you.- should be sbcl for SBCL - on 2009-08-06

ABCL and Clojure - comp.lang.lisp | Google Groups | May 2009
comparison of the state of the art at the time
-
I guess both implementations have a similar level of maturity. ABCL
has been developed mostly by a single person for a while, and now has
a bunch of regular contributors; it's not far from being able to run
big CL projects like Maxima and AP5, though there are still a few
bugs. -
ABCL is more productive when comes to
disassemble on a function - it calls externally JAD (the famous
javabyte code disassembler) and displays the result.
I wish such feature was ready for clojure
torta - where is my disk space being used?
A very nice graphical front-end for 'du', in Common Lisp. I have tried it - it is trivial to use with SBCL. Version 0.3 works very well on the native Linux filesystem of my laptop, and on its VFAT (Windows) filesystem, provided I mount it with iocharset
-
it analyzes the file system directly and generates a Flash file that you can load locally or remotely on any Flash-supporting web browser.
Torta uses Gordon, a library that provides flash generation functionality.
Lemonodor: Comparing Lisp Implementations on OS X - 2005
This may be great for web apps and other headless uses, but doesn't sound too good for GUIs. What is the GUI for Scheme that anon refers to?

I don't know how official this list is, but it is short and mostly sensible
Fundamentals of CLOS - Nick Levine - 2003
It looks like I will find this extensive HTML tutorial worth following.
-
The intended audience for the tutorial is anybody with a basic knowledge of lisp or scheme, who wants to know something about how to use the "Common Lisp Object System" (CLOS). However, in an attempt to provide something for everyone, the tutorial will cover:
*
an introduction to the 10% of CLOS which you need to get you through 90% of use cases; -

DrJava: A lightweight pedagogic environment for Java | Rice University | 2001
An alternative to Smalltalk for teaching OOP - and a cousin of Rice University's DrScheme, an IDE for learning computer science with Scheme.
-
The environment provides a simple interface
based on a ``read-eval-print loop'' that enables a programmer
to develop, test, and debug Java programs in an interactive, incremental
fashion. -
Add Sticky NoteUsing DrJava, beginning programmers can write Java programs without
confronting issues such as text I/O, a command line interface, environment
variables like CLASSPATH, or the complexities of the projects interface
supported by a commercial Java development environment.- C and Fortran were much less intimidating for a beginner than Java - nothing to do with programming, but simply related to compiling, linking and text i/o. If it works as advertised, this package appears to turn that outcome on its head, and make Java as accessible as Scheme and Smalltalk. - on 2009-06-10

Talk Like A Duck : About me
-
Add Sticky NoteX3J20 was formed to develop an ANSI standard, and the common base document became one of the early inputs. I became the secretary of X3J20. The standard was published in January of 1998.
- It is often said there is no Smalltalk standard - that is not true. - on 2009-06-07
Talk Like A Duck : Will It Go Round in Circles? - Rick DeNatale
A fascinating and brief horse's mouth history of dynamic languages and IDEs - with several things I didn't know already.
-
VisualAge started out as a demonstration prototype I wrote using Digitalk Smalltalk/V. The idea was to make something like the NeXT interface builder in Smalltalk as an adjunct to the Smalltalk IDE. For those who are not hip to such things, the Interface Builder, originally a Lisp program before Steve Jobs hired the author, lives on as part of Apple’s XCode tool suite for OS/X for the Mac and the iPhone.
