Lem is the editor/IDE well-tuned for Common Lisp.

After installing lem, you can start developing in Common Lisp at once.

You can skip over writing tidy settings or installing many plugins as you do on Emacs.

Lem loads ~/.lem/init.lisp when starting up.

You can see an example at here.

fukamachi also published his init files on GitHub. https://github.com/fukamachi/.lem

Electron version (Experiment)

Electron version is in the experimental stage.

If you try, please follow below steps.

$ node -v  # check if your nodejs is 8.9.3LTS+.
v8.9.3
$ npm -v
5.5.1
$ npm install -g cxxxr/lem   # install lem-electron
$ lem-electron               # Electron version will start

Lem on platforms without SBCL thread support (e.g. raspberry pi3)

If installation fails due to bordeaux-threads, there is no thread provided by SBCL on your PC.
You need to use Clozure Common Lisp (CCL) instead of SBCL.

$ ros install ccl-bin
$ ros use ccl-bin
$ ros install cxxxr/lem

And also need to specify frontend to ncurses-ccl. You can launch lem as follows:

$ lem --frontend ncurses-ccl
