I’m curious to know what would be your top reading suggestions for learning CL


Sorry for my late reply. Touretzky's Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation holds up well as a good introduction. Steve Losh's A Road to Common Lisp is a great roadmap for going further (https://stevelosh.com/blog/2018/08/a-road-to-common-lisp/).

For tooling, you can get started with just sbcl and rlwrap, both of which should be in any Linux repo. Get a REPL with `rlwrap sbcl`. Exit with `(exit)`.
