npub1a2y4c2q0tfmmtw9373qwzdr6aqej24mhwqfedldedsd46kyh7m3s953pn7 (npub1a2y…3pn7) I would consider Lem an editor of its own right that mimics some proven Emacs concepts, but its intended purpose is to provide a complete Common Lisp programming environment.
Thanks to many contributions it has now packages that provide for other programming languages, too. Does it even have LSP now?
If I were to start with Common Lisp and reluctant to learn Emacs, Lem is an excellent starting point. You can literally fire it up the first time and start with CL right away, which was really a missing piece in the CL ecosystem.
So, yes, I would consider it an Emacs without historical baggage and much easier to start with, but much less prominent packages like Magit, mastodon.el, org etc. Also, it is not stable yet and at least a few weeks ago easily crashed without obvious reasons.
Clojure is a good, fun Lisp. But JVM is a big turn off for me.
