"mine" a new Coalton / Common Lisp editor

Introducing mine, a Coalton and Common Lisp IDE

By Robert Smith mine is a brand new IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp, built from the ground up with one purpose: To make Coalton and Common Lisp easier and more accessible to the programming world. TL;DR? Go to mine's homepage with downloads for Windows/macOS/Linux. mine is a complete, single-download application that comes with everything needed to experience the interactive and incremental development programming workflow, including hot-reloading and on-the-fly debugging, that Lisp programmers often refer to as the differentiating feature of the ecosystem. After installing, one can immediately open a file, program some Coalton or Lisp, and beam code to the REPL. On the same token, it has many of the advanced features you’d expect in a professional IDE:

@jackdaniel well-stated -

@schmudde to be fair, windows is rather hostile to building software. last month I've went on a quest to test ecl on msvc, and finding working version of this supposedly free compiler was a major pita. working with mingw on the other hand was a breeze.

@jackdaniel @schmudde "rather hostile" is a very polite way to put it. I had to spend a week to get Tyalie to build on Windows and even then it was highly nondeterministic. mingw did make things a bit more bearable, but not by much.
