> mine is different in that it’s supposed to be as easy as the QBASIC or the Borland Turbo products of yore, but for Coalton and Common Lisp

Woah this is awesome. I'm too young to have used them but I'm fascinated with the idea of Borland Turbo Pascal, QuickBasic. Glad there is a lisp option now ;)

(I submitted this the day before but I guess this is HN's second-chance feature kicking in.)

There were a few Lisp editors a few years back Light Table was one and I forget there was another one but seems they were eventually discontinued. Those editors were kind of nice, they even showed you what every shortcut available could do visually the moment you held down the Control key.

    Lem for Common Lisp is still active. Plus Emacs has always been around. And Racket's built in editor... I do miss Light Table though, it was very nice.

      Maybe enumerate what was good about Light Table in case the author of Mine is looking for suggestions for improvement.
