An excellent talk exploring different Lisp editors and the designs they explored: https://youtu.be/K0Tsa3smr1w
(There's an impressive moment around 6:00 when the speaker says "there aren't any surviving copies of this tool [Lispedit], so I built this demo after reading the manual"!)

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics.
It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
I've released difftastic 0.65! Highlights of this release:
* Better parsing of Clojure, Common Lisp, Kotlin, Rust and Zig.
* Quality of life improvements for binary files.
I've seen "cons cells" and "cons pairs", but today I saw "conses", which is new to me.
(Clearly Lisp has no downsides, only pros and cons! 🙃)
