This article will explain in detail the sample analysis of the survey on the use of CommonLisp in 2020. The content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it with you for reference. I hope you will have some understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

The results of the survey on the use of Common Lisp in 2020 have been released.

Common Lisp is one of the many dialects of Lisp. Together with Scheme, it is called the two major modern Lisp dialects. It has the characteristics of modernization, multi-paradigm, high performance and compilability. The standard is defined by ANSI INCITS 226-1994 (R2004).

As can be seen from the survey results, out of a total of 471 responses, only 15.9% of respondents said they used Common Lisp at work (and only respondents used it themselves). If you add in the conditions used with colleagues, the proportion dropped to 11%. The main scenario that really uses Common Lisp is personal projects, and the survey results show that the proportion is as high as 41.2%, while most of the rest have simply tried Common Lisp.

The age distribution of these respondents is as follows, with developers aged 25-34 and 35-44 being the main users of Common Lisp. It can be seen that it is mainly used by developers with a certain programming foundation and experience.

When asked what to do with Common Lisp, most people do not have a clear goal. Some people use Common Lisp with a fun mentality, some for learning, and some need to use Common Lisp in personal projects. Generally speaking, if there are clear usage scenarios, there are many areas related to data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

When it comes to the reasons for using Common Lisp, the answers are varied, but one reply should be representative, "because Lisp and Common Lisp are very interesting languages, it is mature and complete."

As a relatively niche programming language, the interactive community of Common Lisp developers is also concentrated, with Reddit and IRC as their main "turf", and other popular platforms such as mailing lists, Stack Overflow and Twitter.

This is the end of the sample analysis of the 2020 CommonLisp usage survey. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
